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.

Last night, the Robinsons responded to the claims via their attorney Christopher Frost in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. Dubbing the allegations “vile” and “false,” Frost claimed, “the evidence will show that this is simply an ugly method of trying to extract money from an 85-year-old American icon — $50 million dollars, to be exact.”
