Leon Isaac Kennedy Speaks Out for Smokey Robinson
*Actor/director/producer Leon Isaac Kennedy is standing by his friend Smokey Robinson after explosive allegations hit the Motown icon. In a nearly 45-minute YouTube video, Kennedy fiercely defends Robinson, calling the $50 million lawsuit “preposterous.”
Kennedy says the claims by four former housekeepers (Jane Does 1,2,3, and 4) make no sense and accuses the women and their lawyers of a calculated money grab. “This is an atrocious shakedown,” Kennedy says in the video. “I had to come forward.”

Kennedy and Robinson have been friends for over 60 years. In the emotional video, Kennedy says he felt compelled to speak out after watching his friend’s reputation come under attack.
“How dare you attorneys come up with these atrocious undertakings just for a 50% of a $50 million payday,” he says. He calls the accusations a betrayal of Robinson’s long legacy and clean public image.

Smokey Robinson Accused of Serious Misconduct
In May 2025, four women who worked as housekeepers filed a $50 million lawsuit against Smokey Robinson and his wife, Frances. They claim they suffered sexual assault, battery, false imprisonment, and gender violence from 2007 to 2024.
The lawsuit says Robinson assaulted them at his California home and that Frances enabled the behavior and used abusive language. The women are listed as Jane Does to “protect their identities.”

Robinson quickly denied all allegations, calling them “vile” and “false.” He fired back with a massive $500 million defamation countersuit, accusing the women of trying to extort him.
