Dr Dre in trouble: Former psychiatrist hits him with $10 million harassment suit
Dr Dre
Rapper Dr Dre is in trouble as a former psychiatrist has slapped a $10 million lawsuit against him, accusing him of sending a “barrage of threats” including “homophobic rhetoric."
The suit was filed on October 9, in a Los Angeles court.
What is in the lawsuit?
The lawsuit has been filed by Dr Charles J Sophy, a psychiatrist who claims to have mediated as a marriage counsellor for the rapper and his ex-wife Nicole Young before and during their divorce.
In his suit, he claims that Dre bombarded him with a series of abusive text messages 14 months after the divorce was finalised. The doctor accuses Dre (Andre Young) of beginning his “campaign of harassment” and intentional infliction of emotional distress in February 2023, as the rapper purportedly then called the plaintiff a “bitch” and a “piece of sh*t” over text.
According to the suit, he also threatened the marriage counsellor to make him pay. Dre apparently also sent over his associates impersonating FBI agents to threaten his physical safety and send him a warning.

The psychiatrist is suing the rapper for monetary damages of $10 million.
Dr Charles J Sophy’s lawyer, Christopher Frost of the firm Frost LLP, said that instead of “treating the mediation process as an opportunity for healing,” Dre chose to “take his frustrations about the mediation out on Dr Sophy.” These “frustrations” eventually “manifest themselves in the form of a nearly year-long sustained campaign of late-night texts, threats of intimidation and violence, and homophobic rhetoric,” as per Billboard.
