MOTOWN legend Smokey Robinson is being sued for over £410million by four ex-housekeepers who accuse him of rape, sexual assault, and wage theft.

The women also allege that the singer's wife, Frances Robinson, knew of her husband's alleged conduct but failed to intervene.

Their lawsuit details graphic allegations of repeated assaults over several years in private areas of the 85-year-old's homes, where surveillance cameras were absent.

They accuse the Tears of a Clown hitmaker of refusing to use protection during sex and using threats and humiliation to control them.

All four women remain anonymous in the lawsuit, filed in the California Superior Court on Tuesday.

Jane Doe 1 claims she began work at the couple's Chatsworth home in Los Angeles in January 2023.
