Smokey Robinson Hits Accusers With a $500M Reverse UNO

Imagine living a smooth 85 years, grooving through Motown history, and waking up one morning to a $50 million sexual assault lawsuit. Most folks might panic. But Smokey Robinson? Oh, he played it real cool—and then pulled the legal equivalent of a Reverse Uno card.

The soul legend and his wife Frances just hit back with a $500 million countersuit, accusing four former employees of straight-up defamation, financial elder abuse (yes, you read that right), and emotional distress. According to Smokey’s legal team, this lawsuit isn’t just messy—it’s made up.

Let’s rewind. The original suit came from three housekeepers and one personal assistant who worked for Smokey between 2007 and 2024. They claim years of sexual misconduct, harassment, and even imprisonment. But Smokey’s side says it’s all lies—and that these women were once close enough to spend holidays and vacations with him.

Smokey’s lawyers? Oh, they’re built different. Hitting the plaintiffs with elder abuse was a strategic mic drop. “You’re not just smearing his name,” they argue, “you’re trying to exploit an elderly man who’s been nothing but generous.” It’s like turning “he’s old” into “he’s protected.” Innovative!

But don’t think Smokey’s dancing through this unscathed. The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department has launched a criminal investigation, and this drama is nowhere near finished. The original accusers say they stayed silent out of fear of retaliation and immigration consequences, and they remain anonymous—for now.

Still, Smokey’s legacy has never been caught up in scandal until now, so the stakes are high. Is he standing on business or just trying to silence the noise? Only time—and a judge—will tell.

Until then, Smokey’s not just asking, “Do I love you?” He’s asking for $500 million and some respect on his name. Period.
