Barnes, a former member of the West Coast hip-hop female duo Body & Soul, has spoken openly about her 1991 assault at the hands of Dre. During the attack, she claimed Dr. Dre dragged her by her hair and smashed her face into a wall.
Dee Barnes, who has also accused Dr. Dre of violence, was taken aback by a judge's decision to not grant his estranged wife a restraining order.
After decades of Black women accusing Dr. Dre of being physically abusive, his estranged wife Nicole Young adds her name to the list in the midst of the couple's divorce battle.
Hip Hop journalist Dee Barnes suggests that Dr. Dre sexually assaulted her in addition to the physical violence he inflicted upon her.
What do you think of the statement?
She also had quite a bit to say about F. Gary Gray and Ice Cube.
Is this a productive discussion or a way to make the character in a biopic look bad?
