Michel’le’s life has been marked by a number of tragedies and she’s been straightforward in sharing many of them on “R&B Divas LA.” Thankfully, the diva is triumphing over her struggles, but she recently opened up about her abusive past with her ex-husband, Dr. Dre, and shared brutal details about the violence she suffered.
Michel’le opened up about her violent romantic past during a recent interview on “The Breakfast Club” and admitted that Dre broke her nose and more.
“I had five black eyes. I have a cracked rib. I have scars that are just amazing,” Michel’le said, adding that people around her knew of the abuse. “It was normal and everybody knew it was normal.”
When asked if Dre apologized to her, Michel’le explained that he never has.
“No, he hasn’t apologized to this day and it wouldn’t do any good because it’s the past,” Michel’le explained.
However, she did explained that he grieved after the first time he beat her.
“I do remember when he first hit me, when he gave me my very first black eye, we laid in the bed and he cried. I was crying from shock, hurt and pain. I don’t know why he was crying.” Michel’le said. “He said, ‘I’m really sorry.’ I think that’s the only time he said he was sorry. He said, ‘I’ll never hit you in that eye again.’ Years later I was talking to my friend, and I joked, ‘Yeah, he said he wasn’t going to hit me in that eye ever again, so he started hitting me in the other eye.’ ”
Michel’le explained that she endured the abuse until Dre left her for his current wife, who she claims was after his money.
“I went away, I was gone for 2 1/2 months, and they said, ‘oh, Dr. Dre is engaged.’ I had already had it out with this girl before I left. He was sleeping with her so I was like, ‘Come on!’ ” Michel’le explained. “She knew what she wanted … she knew what money was while the other girls were just happy to be sleeping with him, to be like, ‘you gonna do me a record?’ But this one, she came straight for the check. And I saw that and I said, ‘if he can’t see that it, I’m not staying to help him out.’ ”
It’s incredibly sad to hear about Michel’le’s abusive past with Dre, but, unfortunately, her story of abuse doesn’t end there. She also shared how her longtime ex-boyfriend, Suge Knight, beat her once. Read about it after the cut.
