The pair have had no contact since, except in early January when Young voluntarily visited her then-estranged husband in the hospital after he suffered a brain aneurysm.
Dre’s account of the visit is that Young hugged and kissed him and told him she loved him before leaving — but a few months later, the former lawyer filed for a domestic violence restraining order, which was denied by the court, and which he insisted there was no basis for.
He wrote: “There were never any domestic violence claims made by Nicole before or during our marriage, formal or informal. At no time were the police ever called during our marriage.
“I was present for Nicole’s deposition. She testified that there are no witnesses to the alleged abuse and she admitted that she never told anyone, including her mother or siblings or other family or friends about any alleged abuse. There are no texts, no emails, no photographs, no videos, no police reports, no domestic violence filings, or other documents evidencing abuse, and no witnesses to her offensive allegations.
“After learning last August of Nicole’s false accusations of abuse, I realized then that I did not know the woman I had married and loved.”
Dre explained this was why he has “not seen Nicole or communicated with her or spoken to her since August 2020 (except when she choose on her own to visit me when I was hospitalized).”
The producer branded Young’s allegations of abuse and claims he forced her to sign a pre-marital agreement “appalling.”
He added: “[They are] in my view nothing but an effort to attempt to obtain more money than that to which she is entitled and to what she agreed in our Premarital Agreement.”
