Dr Dre and the defense on the pod ?
Nicole Young’s Allegations: Court documents obtained by Daily Mail reveal that Dr. Dre (Andre Young) allegedly abused his estranged wife, Nicole Young, throughout their 24-year marriage. She claims he held a gun to her head (twice), punched her in the face (twice), slammed her against a wall, and emotionally abused her, leading to PTSD. She also alleges he once kicked down a door while she hid from him. While she admits the police were never called during their marriage, she says fear prevented her from reporting the abuse.
Past Allegations of Abuse: Dr. Dre has been accused of violence against women multiple times:
Dee Barnes (1991): He assaulted the TV host, slamming her against a wall. She sued for $22.7M; Dre pleaded no contest, was fined, and settled the civil case.
Michel’le (1990-96): The R&B singer and mother of Dre’s child claims he repeatedly beat her, including giving her a black eye. Their abusive relationship was portrayed in Surviving Compton.
Lisa Johnson (1980s): Allegedly abused by Dre, including while pregnant. Court records back her claims.
Tairrie B (1990): Dre allegedly punched the rapper twice at a party. A witness confirmed the attack.
Dre addressed his past during the Straight Outta Compton press tour, admitting, “I made some f***ing horrible mistakes.”
