Smokey Robinson’s lawyer says allegations of rape and sexual assault against him in a lawsuit from four former housekeepers are “vile” and “false.”

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's lawyer is denying allegations that the Motown singer repeatedly raped four ex-housekeepers, noting Robinson himself will respond to the "vile, false allegations" in the coming days.
