Dr. Dre is facing a seismic lawsuit from a marriage counselor.
Full story
The Hip-Hop titan has been hit with a $10 million suit accusing him of a “malicious campaign of harassment.”
Filed today (October 9) in Los Angeles, the case is being mounted by a psychiatrist who claims to have served as a marriage counselor and mediator for the rapper and his ex-wife before and during their divorce.
Dr. Charles J. Sophy is accusing Dre (born Andre Young) of bombarding him with an “ongoing barrage of threats” after he had “worked diligently” to assist with his marital issues with Nicole Young – his then-wife.
The allegations include claims of threatening text messages and the arrival of “fake FBI officers” to intimate Sophy.
Per Sophy’s legal team:
“Rather than treating the mediation process as an opportunity for healing, [Dre] decided to take his frustrations about the mediation out on Dr. Sophy — frustrations that manifested themselves in the form of a nearly year-long sustained campaign of late-night texts, threats of intimidation and violence, and homophobic rhetoric.”
The suit continued, adding:
“Young, a prominent and powerful figure in the music industry with a well-documented history of violence and abuse, carried out a series of unlawful acts deliberately intended to threaten, intimidate, terrorize, and ultimately ruin Dr. Sophy personally and professionally.
Dr. Sophy does not relish suing a former patient. Nobody should have to live in constant fear. But Dr. Sophy does — ironically, for no other reason than he tried to help Young to resolve his own family’s conflict.”
Sophy’s suit seeks a restraining order to prevent further instances of the alleged harassment and monetary damages that his attorneys assert should total at least $10 million.

Well what do you know. It’s just like I said. A history of threats, violence and domestic abuse, but he still gets inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, still performs at the Super Bowl and still gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this year while Chris has none of that and continues to be shut out of everything like he’s the worst human being ever. The selective outrage is undeniable.
CHRIS HAS HIS OWN SELF TO BLAME FOR BEING SHUT OUT OF EVERYTHING BECAUSE HE’S 1 OF THE WORST INDIVIDUALS EVER WALKING THE EARTH! CB BEAT UP QUEEN RIHANNA & AFTER THAT EVIDENCE OF WHAT HE’D DONE TO QUEEN RIH’S FACE WENT VIRAL, CB IS LUCKY HE DIDN’T GET MORE THAN PROBATION!
DON’T FEEL BADLY FOR THIS N199A WHO DID IT TO HIMSELF.
The optics are different. Chris attacked an international superstar and left physical evidence for the world to see. Dre has only had accusations from local accusers who most people don’t know.
Chris’ violent reputation goes beyond Rihanna. Ask Frank Ocean, Karreuche, Teyana Taylor, Usher and the countless women who have accused him of the R-word over the years. He’s a liability at this point. Stop coddling him.
“Malicious Campaign of Harassment”? Who Dr. DRE DID THIS? SAY IT AIN’T SO! (SIGHS)
