Divorce therapist sues rapper Dre for $10 million for ‘intolerable harassment’

Sophy claims Dr. Dre sent abusive messages after the divorce

Sophy, who provided counseling and marriage counseling to the couple during their marriage and later served as a mediator in their divorce, claims that Dr. Dre began sending him abusive messages 14 months after the divorce was finalized.

According to the lawsuit, these messages contained derogatory terms and threats of retaliation.

Sophy claims he was falsely accused by Dre of encouraging a third party to publicly criticize the rapper during divorce proceedings.

Sophy claims Dr. Dre sent “FBI agents” to intimidate him

Furthermore, the lawsuit also claims that the 59-year-old rapper and producer upped the ante by sending people posing as FBI agents to Sophy’s home.

This reportedly happened in February 2023, just weeks after the alleged text message harassment began.

The impersonators are said to have entered Sophy’s closed community under false pretenses to intimidate him and on behalf of Dr. Dre to threaten his physical safety.

Sophy is seeking $10 million in damages, a restraining order against Dre

In light of the alleged threats, Sophy has reportedly increased security at his home and now wears a bulletproof vest every time he leaves his home.

He is seeking $10 million in damages from Dr. Dre.

Furthermore, Sophy has also requested a court order that Dr. Dre is required to remain at least 100 meters away from him at all times for his safety and peace of mind.

Dr.’s lawyer Dre responded to the lawsuit

Howard King, Dr. Dre’s attorney, pushed back on the lawsuit, saying that Sophy only filed his suit after failing to pressure Dr. Dre to stop efforts to have Sophy punished for “dereliction of duty and incredible incompetence’.

King revealed that these claims were detailed in a confidential complaint Dr. Dre filed with the Osteopathic Medical Board of California in 2023.

The complaint seeks the revocation of Sophy’s license due to alleged violations of standards of care during the Youngs’ divorce proceedings.
