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

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

A lawyer for Smokey Robinson said late Wednesday that the sexual assault allegations against the Motown singer were “vile” and “false” and that a lawsuit filed by the four women making the accusations was an attempt to extract millions of dollars from him.
