Four female Hispanic housekeepers accuse Motown icon Smokey Robinson of sexual abuse in $50 million lawsuit. Really!

More Me Too! Some doubts are maybe in order! 

Is this about justice or extortion? Sue a rich man for sexual assault and settle for millions of dollars! Nice game?

How is it possible that a the same housekeeper is first sexually assaulted and then raped 10 years later by the same man? She did not report the sexual assault to the police? How well was she compensated? She could not find another job?

Caveat: I am not familiar with the details of this case.

"... The first sexual assault allegation dates back to 2007, which Jane Doe 4 claimed took place at Robinson's Las Vegas residence. He also allegedly raped her a decade later at a temporary home in Bell Canyon and at his home in Chatsworth. ..."

"... The plaintiffs also named Robinson's wife Frances in the suit, claiming she created a hostile work environment and had "full knowledge of his prior acts of sexual misconduct" and "failed to take the appropriate corrective action."

Harris said the four women were all similar in that they were "Hispanic women employed as housekeepers earning below minimum wage." ... "

Music Legend Smokey Robinson (age 83): ‘I Don’t Want to be Called African-American, I Want to be Called American American’

Bravo!

"... Last year, the singer said he believes using the term “African American” disclaims all the contributions that black black people have made to the United States. ...
“I consider myself to be a black American, and I enjoy being called black, and black has been so negativized as a color down throughout history by those who wanted to negativize it.”
“And so, it spilled over into the black community and to the black people. And even black people back in the day calling each other Black was a sign for a fight — like black was so negative,” Robinson added."

Music Legend Smokey Robinson: ‘I Don’t Want to be Called African-American, I Want to be Called American American’ Music Legend Smokey Robinson told CNN’s Chris Wallace in a recent interview that he doesn’t want to be called an “African American,” because his people fought and “died and have done everything for this country.”
