Flyysoulja's Florida rental home was in dismal condition for weeks before he was detained by authorities for a mental health evaluation earlier this month ... and he left it full of dog feces, and without electricity, his landlord tells TMZ.

Check out our interview with Andy Zamudio, real estate broker of Equity Real Estate and the Island Boys star's landlord ... he tells us he had given Flyy multiple chances to get his place cleaned up after conducting an inspection in September ... during which he discovered several doors punched in, broken glass everywhere, and even garbage overtaking the garage.

Andy also tells us the Homestead house came fully furnished when Flyy -- real name Alex Venegas -- and his girlfriend, KaylaThayla, moved in in 2024 ... and he noticed during the inspection that the $12,000 couch was missing from the living room, along with some ceiling fans.

8:23 PM PT  -- Smokey's attorney Christopher Frost tells TMZ, "These plaintiffs are part of the same group of people who have conspired together against the Robinsons and are laying out their claims for maximum adverse publicity.

We have already explained in the Robinsons’ lawsuit against this group for defamation, civil conspiracy and elder abuse that, all along, this has been an organized, avaricious campaign to extract money from an 85-year-old legend. This group of people, who hide behind anonymity, and their attorneys seek global publicity while making the ugliest of false allegations."

Frost adds, "We have sought the Court’s intervention multiple times to require these anonymous individuals to divulge essential information, turn over relevant evidence, and to share deposition transcripts with the District Attorney. For obvious reasons, this group of Does and their attorneys refuse to be forthcoming with all the evidence possible to investigate their own claims. Once the public can see the truth, their avaricious motives and fabricated claims will be revealed.”

Smokey Robinson's newest sexual battery accuser is a man who claims the Motown singer once grabbed the guy's hand and tried to force it onto his erect penis.

Smokey is being sued by four Jane Does claiming they used to work as housekeepers for the music star and his wife, Frances Gladney Robinson ... and now two more alleged victims want to join the suit, a fifth Jane Doe and a John Doe.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the male accuser claims he started working for the Robinsons at their Chatsworth residence around 2013 ... he says he would clean and detail their cars early in the mornings and on numerous occasions Smokey came outside wearing only his underwear and would touch and fondle his erect penis in clear view of John Doe.

The guy claims "Smokey Robinson’s sexual arousal was vivid and unmistakable during these incidents." He also claims Smokey sometimes made sexually suggestive gestures and remarks towards him, including beckoning him toward a nearby room.

He says he would reject Smokey's alleged advances by telling him, "Put some clothes on."

The guy claims things escalated around 2022, when in one incident, Smokey grabbed the guy's hand "without consent and attempted to force it onto his erect penis."

After the alleged incident, the guy claims the Robinsons fired him. He says one year later, Smokey's wife requested he return to work and he did. He says Smokey went right back to appearing partially clothed, touching himself and making sexually suggestive remarks in his presence.

He claims Smokey's repeated sexual harassment, indecent exposure and unwanted physical contact resulted in humiliation, emotional distress, and ongoing fear for his safety and dignity ... and he says he stopped working for the Robinsons "after learning of similar conduct toward other victims and out of concern for his own well-being."

The new Jane Doe who wants to join the lawsuit claims she worked for the Robinsons as a housekeeper. She says on more than 10 occasions Smokey grabbed her hand and attempted to force her to touch his erect penis.

When the four women sued Smokey in May for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment and gender violence, his lawyer denied the allegations and chalked it up to a shakedown.

Minka Kelly kept her cool and kindness front and center when a personal question about her boyfriend surfaced during her appearance on "Today with Jenna & Friends."

After her interview Tuesday with Vivica Fox, Sherri Shepherd told TMZ there's clearly still a lot of love between the actress and her ex 50 Cent.

Chatting with us in NYC, she said, "I think they still love each other ... I really do."

It's easy to see why she'd say that about Vivica. During the "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" star's "Sherri" appearance, she dished that she had "fabulous" orgasms with Curtis. So it's safe to say, she remembers him fondly. But what about 50?

Allison Mack told her fellow "Smallville" alum Michael Rosenbaum she thought about ending it all during NXIVM's downfall ... but hope -- and just plain old curiosity -- saved her.
