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

Christopher Frost said in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter that he would "fiercely defend" Robinson and his wife, Frances Robinson, who was also named as a defendant in the suit.

Smokey Robinson and his wife were named in a lawsuit alleging sexual assault, false imprisonment, and labor violations dating back to 2006.
