Four women filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Tuesday claiming that the Motown legend sexually assaulted them during their time working as housekeepers.

A lawyer for Smokey Robinson said late Wednesday that the sexual assault allegations against the Motown singer were “vile” and “false” and that a lawsuit filed by the four women making the accusations was an attempt to extract millions of dollars from him.

Smokey Robinson has responded, through his lawyer, to the $50 million sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by four of his employees, calling the allegations “vile” and “false.”
