Dr. Dre‘s estranged wife Nicole Young detailed alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of the music mogul during their marriage
According to court documents obtained by Daily Mail, Nicole filed a declaration in their nasty divorce days before Dre was rushed to the hospital. He is currently still in the ICU recovering after suffering a brain aneurysm.
In the documents, Nicole claims when they were married Dre held a gun to her head, punched her in the face, and slammed her against a wall. The alleged incidents went down in 2000 and 2001. During one alleged altercation, Nicole claims Dre lifted her off her feet by holding her neck.
In past court filings, Dre has denied the allegations of abuse brought forth by Nicole. He wrote, “at no time did I abuse Nicole or threaten her physical safety.” Nicole says his statements are a lie.
Nicole wrote, “I have explained in excruciating and painful detail the abuse that Andre has perpetrated against me over our more than 25-year-relationship.”
She added, “Andre held a gun to my head on two occasions, on January 8, 2000, and November 20, 2001. Andre has punched me in the head/face on two occasions in 1999 and on January 8, 2000.”
Nicole detailed an incident where “Andre kicked down the door to a bedroom in which I was hiding from his rage in 2016. Andre has verbally and emotionally decimated my personhood to the extent that I currently suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome.”
“Second, I have also offered extensive and painful testimony about Andre’s relentless campaign of abuse and control over me for more than half of my life.”
She continued, “It is misleading, revolting and insulting for Andre to suggest that i have not been abused because, as a victim of relentless abuse and isolation, I did not create and maintain a contemporaneous record of abuse inflicted on me.”
The divorce continues to rage on with no end in sight. Dre did agree to pay Nicole $2 million dollars in temporary support until the next court hearing in April.
As The Blast previously reported, Dr. Dre is currently still in the Intensive Care Unit after having to be rushed to the hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm.
Earlier this month, the news broke that the music mogul was in the hospital where doctors were trying to figure out what happened.
Sources say Dre has been in the ICU for over a week at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The medical professionals are doing a bunch of tests on Dre to see what the problem is with his health.
It’s unclear if Dre underwent any surgery while in the ICU. A person suffering a brain aneurysm usually has surgery to stop the bleeding.
Sources say while Dre is still in the ICU, he is resting comfortably and doctors say a “bad outcome” is unlikely at this point.
A couple of days after being admitted to the hospital, Dre posted a message thanking his fans for their love during this hard time. He wrote, “Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes. I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!”
