Smokey, 85, is being accused of sexual battery, sexual assault, false imprisonment, gender violence, and creating a hostile work environment in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
His wife, Frances Robinson, is also mentioned in the lawsuit, according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun.
All four of Smokey's alleged victims have chosen to remain unnamed and are referred to as Jane Doe in the complaint.
One of the Jane Does claims Smokey started sexually assaulting her in 2016.
The former employee claims that when she was home alone with the singer at his Los Angeles mansion, Smokey would text her and ask her to meet at places in the house that didn't have CCTV.
"He would then summon her to either the laundry room or garage, where there were no cameras," court documents allege.
The woman claims Smokey would then sexually assault and rape her with no cameras to see.
HOUSEKEEPER'S CLAIMS
Smokey and Frances' former housekeeper claims in the lawsuit that she was sexually assaulted just a month after she started cleaning the couple's Los Angeles mansion.
The housekeeper said Smokey would take Frances to the nail salon on Saturdays and rush home to "be home alone" with his alleged victim.
She claimed Smokey would rape her on his bed and ignore her resistance.
The anonymous housekeeper said she quit the job in February 2024 due to the alleged assaults.
Smokey has yet to speak publicly about the allegations, which come as he's been on a press tour for his latest album that came out on April 25.

Phypers has denied being emotionally and physically abusive to his ex Denise Richards CHEAT SHOCK Celebrity SAS's Rudy Reyes accused of secret affair with Real Housewife behind husband's back Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELEBRITY SAS star Rudy Reyes has been accused of having an affair with Real Housewife Denise Richards by her estranged husband. Aaron Phypers, 49, filed for divorce from former Bond girl Richards, 54, last month following an explosive row.

Richards starred with Reyes in the third series of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test in 2023. The military instructor split from his gun instructor girlfriend Jade Struck, 25, earlier this year. In an interview with The Mail, Phypers said Richards had promised to break things off with Reyes, only to hook up with him the following month in a California hotel. That alleged rendezvous was the basis for their July showdown that signalled the end of their marriage. READ MORE ON CELEBRITY SAS marching orders Celebrity SAS star axed after 'lying & cheating' on show - as another quits Phypers said: "I'm broken-hearted and f***ing tired. Really, she's f***ed me up. "We've been together nine years and for her to do that and to lie to me consistently - I'm totally tired and drained." He said the relationship had been rocky for some time, aggravated by six house moves over the course of their relationship and dozens of pets under their care. He said Richards owned 58 dogs, two pot-bellied pigs, and an 'incontinent' Sphinx cat. The disgruntled ex also accused Richards of being addicted to vicodin and alcohol. But the breaking point came when Phypers said he discovered 107 messages between Richards and Reyes, some of which detailed hotel meet ups and included intimate photos. Furious TV bosses yell at us for pushing celebs too hard, admits Rudy Reyes as he reveals reason why NONE of the stars would pass day 1 of SAS training He told the publication: "I just had this feeling that something was off because her behavior had changed – she was being kind of cool to me. "I opened her phone – we both know each other's passwords - so I opened it up and then I went to her deleted texts and there were 107 of them between her and this guy. "I went through them and it just broke my heart." Following Phypers and Richards' row in July, the actress filed a lawsuit accusing him of physical and verbal abuse, including leaving her with a black eye. Phypers has vehemently denied the claims, telling US Weekly, "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone. "These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. "I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect. I ask for privacy as we navigate personal matters, and I hope that the public and media will refrain from spreading harmful and baseless claims.' The Sun has contacted representatives for Richards and Reyes for comment. 5 Reyes is currently on screens in the UK in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Credit: PA 5 Richards has accused Phypers of emotional and physical abuse, which he has denied Credit: Getty

Katie Price reveals her exact weight as fans beg her to ‘stop having surgery'
Katie's fans have begged her to stop getting surgery BODY IMAGE Katie Price reveals her exact weight as fans beg her to 'stop having surgery' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price has revealed her exact weight amid another round of surgery and her feud with daughter Princess. The TV star revealed exactly how much she weighs following fan concerns over her skinny frame. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Katie Price has shed even more weight in recent weeks Credit: @katie-pricey/Snapchat/Backgrid 4 Katie's fans have begged her to stop going for surgery Credit: Getty 4 Her implant-free body is close to 6st 10lb Credit: Portsmouth Pride Katie stepped on the scales while in Turkey undergoing more surgery on her face. She revealed to fans she now weighs under 50kg, which is 7st 8lb - and underweight for her 5'4" frame. But with the combined weight of her 2120cc breast implants removed - which are thought to weigh around 4.87lb each - her implant-free body is closer to 6st 10lb. That puts her BMI at 16.2 which is below the healthy range and in the underweight category (18.5 and under). Former glamour model Katie, 47, first sparked worry over her shrinking appearance at the start of the year. She previously hit out at critics who shared their concerns over her weight loss and denied she was using skinny jabs. She declared: "I don't need the Ozempic. I never have done. I've always been skinny. Look at old pictures of me. Always been tiny." It comes as Katie jetted to Turkey for more surgery over the weekend. The star escaped her 'rift' with daughter Princess following the release of her new ITV docuseries, The Princess Diaries. She shared snaps from the trip and showed off her puffy face. Katie Price's ex in apology to Princess over split she said devastated childhood Originally planned to be 'his and her' surgeries with boyfriend JJ Slater, Katie ended up going under the knife alone due to issues surrounding JJ's Type 1 diabetes. A bandaged-up Katie was then pictured walking through a hotel restaurant in tracksuit bottoms and a tank top. Now fans have begged her to stop going under the knife - as the latest surgery comes less than a year since she had another facelift as well as a 'fox-eye lift' at the Trio Clinic in Istanbul. Writing beneath her latest Instagram post, one said: "Stop with the surgery and botox for your own good. Another begged: "You've made yourself look like an old woman, just stop for the love of god." KATIE AND PRINCESS' ROUGH PATCH This comes as Princess and her mum Katie, 47, currently battles through a tricky patch in their relationship, which was exclusively revealed by The Sun. Princess is paving a path of her own in the world of showbiz and now has her own reality series. Katie previously vented about those working with her daughter after The Sun revealed her secret heartache about being cut out of her TV show. She even vowed not to watch her daughter's reality show, after feeling left out of such an important thing in Princess' life. On Monday night, Katie shared a very cryptic message amid the ongoing rift with her daughter.
