After criticism came out about how the film Straight Out Of Compton glossed over Dr. Dre's abusive past, he released the following statement to the New York Times:
"Twenty-five years ago I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did. I’ve been married for 19 years and every day I’m working to be a better man for my family, seeking guidance along the way. I’m doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again. I apologize to the women I’ve hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.”
R&B singer Michel'le was in an abusive relationship with Dr. Dre in the late 80s, where she was hit with a closed fist and suffered "black eyes, a cracked rib, and scars." Dr. Dre also punched labelmate Tairrie B twice in the face at a Grammy party in 1990 after she recorded an NWA diss track.
