Music legend Smokey Robinson is speaking out following sexual assault allegations made by five women, saying he’s confident in his innocence and unbothered by the ongoing investigation.
The 83-year-old Motown icon addressed the situation publicly at LAX on Friday, where he told reporters he isn’t worried about the legal proceedings or the impact on his legacy.
“It’s All False”
When asked if he believed the accusations were part of a financial shakedown, Robinson didn’t confirm but made his stance clear: he believes the claims are entirely fabricated. “I’m not the first man this has happened to,” he said, calling the women’s allegations “bull****.”
Despite facing both a criminal investigation and a civil lawsuit, Robinson appeared calm and composed during the exchange. He firmly denied any wrongdoing and emphasized that the allegations don’t reflect the truth of who he is.
Legacy Intact
Robinson, widely respected as one of the founding figures of Motown and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, says he hasn’t felt a shift in how the public sees him. “People know the real Smokey,” he stated, brushing off the idea that the claims have damaged his reputation.
He added that he feels “great” and that everything in his life is “absolutely wonderful,” projecting confidence that he will be cleared of all accusations.
Legal Battles Ahead
As first reported by TMZ, five women have come forward with sexual assault allegations against Robinson. He is currently the subject of a criminal investigation and is also facing a lawsuit. Robinson has filed a countersuit against the accusers, setting the stage for a complex legal battle.
Despite the controversy, Robinson maintains his composure—and his belief that the truth will prevail.
