Smokey Robinson’s Attorney Slams $50 Million Sexual Assault Lawsuit as “Ugly” Money Grab

Smokey Robinson is denying the allegations brought against him.

An attorney for the music legend shared a statement slamming the lawsuit from four former housekeepers accusing Robinson, 85, of sexual assault.

“As this case progresses,” attorney Christopher Frost shared in a statement with NBC News, “the evidence (the crucial element that guides us) will show that this is simply an ugly method of trying to extract money from an 85-year-old American icon–$50 million dollars, to be exact.”

Frost referred to proceedings in the case so far as “bizarre theatrics” and accused the plaintiff’s attorneys of “trying to enlist the public as an unwitting participant in the media circus they are trying to create.”

In addition to noting the legal team plans to ask the Court to dismiss the lawsuit, the statement added, “We ask anyone following this case to reserve judgment as the evidence comes to light and all the actual facts of the case unfold. We will be addressing the numerous aspects of the complaint that defy credulity as well as issues relating to purported timelines, inconsistencies, and relationships between the plaintiffs and others.”
