00:00Smokey Robinson, who is, or his camp at least, is now responding to this bombshell lawsuit that was filed by four former housekeepers claiming sexual assault,
00:11saying that it happened multiple times while they were working for Smokey and his wife.
00:17Smokey himself has not said anything yet, but last night his lawyer gave us this response, as you would imagine, shooting down all of these allegations.
00:27He said, as this case progresses, the evidence, which is the crucial element that guides us, will show that this is simply an ugly method of trying to extract money from an 85-year-old American icon, $50 million to be exact.
00:43So they're saying it's a money play.
00:45Yes, and they also said that they are false and that the evidence will actually bear that out.
00:51So we will see what happens going forward.
00:54They also said that eventually Smokey and perhaps even his wife will have a response in their own words.
01:01Smokey's wife is also being sued, not because they are alleging she...
01:05They're saying she knew and knew about...
01:06She didn't do anything.
01:07Right, and did not do anything to protect them as employees.
