Grooming allegations against The Cure’s Robert Smith explored

The video also stated that Milka went to one of The Cure’s concerts in 2016 to confront Robert Smith for his actions. She claimed that he recognized her years later and told her that she had gotten “old and fat.”

The victim also shared why she had not opened up about the alleged grooming publicly in the past. She claimed that she did not want to “tarnish his reputation” as he had amassed a massive fan following worldwide. In another slide of the viral video, it was also stated that Smith’s team had told her to tell fans that they were friends and nothing more.

She also shared that she wanted to give him the time to apologize for his actions, but he refused to do so.

In other text messages, Milka vulnerably shared that she had undergone therapy following her relationship with Smith. She did not explicitly mention that he was the reason behind her undergoing therapy sessions.

In the following slides, Milka claimed that Robert Smith had written several songs about his relationship with her. Some of them included Last Dance and Why Can’t I Be You amongst others.

To provide proof about Milka being underage, the person who exposed Smith claimed that she had gained access to personal information about Milka. The video claimed that Milka is currently 52 and will be turning 53, which would mean that she was 14 years old when she first met Smith in 1984.

The video also shared an image of Milka with Smith where she was seen wearing an ID bracelet that was given to minors in case they got lost during concerts.

It was also alleged that Robert Smith and his wife Mary Poole were never in an “open relationship,” that would allow him to date other women. The video also claimed that Smith was in a relationship with multiple women while being married to Poole. However, it remains unclear as to whether the women were minors.
