The legal action comes in the wake of a separate lawsuit filed by the four women in Los Angeles Superior Court on May 6, where they alleged various incidents of sexual pressure dating back to 2006. They cited fears of losing their jobs, familial repercussions, or embarrassment as reasons for their delayed disclosure. The women, who requested anonymity, are demanding at least $50 million in damages and seek a jury trial.
As the allegations prompted a criminal investigation from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the 85-year-old Robinson has categorically denied the claims, stating that the accusations seem financially motivated. His legal team has sought to dismiss the women's lawsuit, arguing they were wrongly granted anonymity. Robinson, a pivotal figure in Motown's history with hits like "My Girl" and "Tracks of My Tears," expressed his willingness to embrace the truth through the ongoing investigation.
With over 4,000 songwriting credits to his name, Robinson holds esteemed places in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The legal battle marks a significant chapter in the life of the music icon, whose legacy is now intertwined with serious allegations that challenge his reputation.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the music industry watches closely, while Robinson’s fans remain supportive amid the storm surrounding these accusations.
