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

Christopher Frost said in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter that he would "fiercely defend" Robinson and his wife, Frances Robinson, who was also named as a defendant in the suit.

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