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

The 85-year-old Motown star performed for an adoring crowd and made no mention of the claims against him at his first concert since being named in a lawsuit.

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.
