A new development has emerged in the ongoing legal challenges faced by R&B icon Smokey Robinson, as a fifth woman has now come forward, filing a police report accusing him of sexual battery. This report follows a joint lawsuit filed two months ago by four former housekeepers who leveled similar accusations against the Bad Boy Entertainment CEO.
Law enforcement sources indicate that the woman formally reported her allegations to a deputy last Wednesday at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Malibu/Lost Hills station. It has been confirmed that all five accusers have now filed reports with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD).
Christopher Frost, Robinson’s attorney, addressed the new accusation in a statement. “It’s not surprising to us that in the context of very public allegations by the four interconnected Jane Does and their shared attorneys, no matter how untrue, news like this might emerge. It’s one of the risks of being a celebrity, that others will take the same approach,” Frost said.
He continued, “Our focus is on exposing the falsity of the Doe lawsuit, where the Does and their lawyers have taken a hit and run approach — making allegations against a beloved 85-year-old cultural icon and subsequently refusing to reveal their identities or unequivocally sit for a deposition, where the truth can actually be determined.”
The new police report intensifies the scrutiny surrounding Robinson as these multiple accusations continue to unfold.
