Dr. Dre dismisses former psychiatrist’s $10 million lawsuit over son’s relationship

Dr. Dre is embroiled in a nasty legal battle with his former psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophywhom he accused of poisoning his relationship with his son.

The drama between the record producer and his former counselor began during his heated divorce from his ex-wife, Nicole Young. But Dre filed his complaints against the psychiatrist in February 2023.

The legal letter was revealed a day after Dr. Charles Sophy filed a $10 million harassment lawsuit against Dr. Dre. However, the music mogul painted himself as the victim, accusing his former psychiatrist of malpractice and more.

Dr. Dre claims the former psychiatrist abused his power during his divorce case

According to the legal brief filed by Dre’s attorney, Howard King, Dr. Sophy accused of breaching his duty of trust and committing malpractice. The alleged crimes occurred while he was serving as an entertainer and Nicole’s mediator during their divorce.

Dre claimed that Sophy sided with his ex-wife and abused his power by giving her an advantage in their divorce case. The former psychiatrist is said to have ‘slandered’ him ‘in a malicious attempt to convince his son to turn against him’.

Dre argued that Sophy’s alleged actions poisoned his relationship with his son. However, TMZ reported that the doctor believed he was the victim and accused the hip-hop icon of bombarding him with insulting and threatening messages.

Inside the $10 million harassment lawsuit

As reported by the outlet, Sophy has filed a $10 million harassment lawsuit against Dre for threatening his safety during his past shifts. The psychiatrist noted that he provided counseling and marriage counseling to the media personality and his ex-wife during their marriage.

He remained as a mediator during their divorce; However, his working relationship with Dre soured due to allegations of malpractice. Sophy claimed that the record producer began harassing him with insults and threats fourteen months after the finalization of his divorce.

Sophy emphasized that he was falsely accused of encouraging a third party to smear Dre in the media during the divorce proceedings. Despite maintaining his innocence, he claimed that the entertainer sent his associates to track him down.

These alleged representatives disguised themselves as FBI agents in an attempt to determine his whereabouts in his gated community. Sophy claimed the incident, and Dre’s text messages were so bad that he had to increase his security at home.

The psychiatrist accused Dr. Dre of endangering his physical safety

Sophy believed that Dre hired the fake FBI agents to gaining access to his home and endangering his physical safety. He backed up his claim with the rapper’s threatening text messages, in which he allegedly threatened to “make you pay for that.”

Dre also called him derogatory names like “b-tch” and “a piece of sh-t.” According to Sophy, the harassing text messages began in February 2023 and caused him emotional distress and fear for his well-being.

He claimed that after the fake FBI agents, he didn’t leave his house without wearing a bulletproof vest and cap. Sophy sued Dre for $10 million and asked for an injunction to keep the musician 100 yards away from him.

The record producer’s response to the lawsuit

After the harassment lawsuit, Dre responded to the allegations through his attorney. The entertainer, born Andre Romell Young, claimed Sophy’s legal action was a last-ditch effort to stop him from pursuing his complaint.

‘Dr. Sophy only filed his charges after failing to pressure Mr. Young to stop efforts to arrest Dr. To have Sophy punished for dereliction of duty and incredible incompetence.” Dre’s lawyer explained in a statement, adding:

“This complaint seeks the revocation of Dr.’s license. Sophy to provide mental health care to needy patients.” Dre’s legal representative continued. He emphasized that Sophy was fired after allegedly turning the rapper’s son against him “to force a financial settlement he recommended.”
