Smokey Robinson Files Countersuit, Claims He Treated Employees Like 'Family'

Jane Doe 1-4's attorneys argue that William "Smokey" Robinson and his wife, Frances, filed a cross-complaint targeting them as a re-victimization tactic aimed at silencing survivors of an earlier sexual assault case. The Robinsons are suing for multiple claims, including defamation and emotional distress, claiming the women had excessive access to valuables and their legal team is leveraging media attention against them. Meanwhile, four anonymous women have filed lawsuits alleging sexual battery, which led them to report Smokey to the police. He denies any wrongdoing, referring to the case as a "shakedown."
