    Smokey Robinson issued a short statement on the rape lawsuit four housekeepers filed against him.

    “I am appalled,” the renowned record producer, 85, told the Daily Mail over the phone Wednesday.

    According to the outlet, he then said after a brief break, “I can’t speak about this right now.”

    Page Six has reached out to Robinson’s rep for comment but has not heard back.

    The legendary songwriter, known as “Mr. Motown,” has also not addressed the matter on social media.

    On Tuesday, four women — identified in the $50 million lawsuit as Jane Doe 1 (JD1), Jane Doe 2 (JD2), Jane Doe 3 (JD3) and Jane Doe 4 (JD4) — sued him for sexual assault, battery and gender violence.

    The first accuser alleged she worked for Robinson at his Chatsworth, Calif., home from January 2023 to February 2024, often on the weekends when other staffers were not at the house.

    She claimed he would “kiss” her all over her face and body then “roughly penetrate her vagina with his fingers, orally copulate her and proceed to penetrate her vagina with his erect penis causing her great pain,” according to the complaint Page Six obtained.

    JD1 also alleged the music mogul “enjoyed ejaculating in her vagina without using a condom.”

    The second accuser, who allegedly worked for Robinson from May 2014 to February 2020, claimed he sexually assaulted her “on at least 23 different occasions.”

    He allegedly “forced her into his blue bedroom and [made] her perform oral sex on his erect penis” and “forcibly penetrate her with his erect penis without using a condom,” per the complaint.

    The third accuser, who allegedly worked for the Robinson from February 2012 to April 2024, claimed he would “orally copulate her” and “force her to lie face down on the towel so that he could penetrate her vagina with his erect penis from the rear.”

    The fourth woman — who also accused the Supremes’ former mentor of rape — said she worked as a housekeeper in October 2006 and then became his wife Frances Robinson’s assistant until April 2024.

    Frances, who has been married to Smokey since 2002, is also named as a defendant in the suit.

    The accusers allege she “perpetuated a hostile work environment by regularly screaming at” the women “in a hostile manner, using ethnically pejorative words and language.”

    They also claim she failed to “take the appropriate corrective action to prevent [Smokey’s] deviant misconduct against” all four women,” according to the complaint.

    A rep for Frances also did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
