Nicole Young: Dr Dre’s estranged wife forcing rapper’s three mistresses to testify against him in prenup case
Dr Dre and his estranged wife’s divorce saga is getting dramatic day by day as reports have claimed that Nicole Young is now trying to force the rapper’s three alleged mistresses to testify against him. The women with whom Dre was allegedly romantically involved were singer Jillian Speer, model-turned-skin care entrepreneur Kili Anderson, and Crystal Rogers, aka Crystal Sierra — known as the “Queen of Latin hip-hop”. Young has named all three in her latest court filing. But the Daily Mail reported that all three women have hired a lawyer so that they won’t have to become a part of the bitter legal battle.
It has been said that the center of the fight between Dre and Nicole over the music tycoon’s estimated $1 billion empire is a premarital agreement that the two signed in 1996. While the ‘I Need a Doctor’ singer has claimed that the prenup still exists, Young alleged that he “tore up multiple copies of the agreement" in front of her "two or three years after their marriage.” "Since the day he tore up the agreements we both understood that there was no premarital agreement and that it was null and void," the former wife of NBA player Sedale Threatt said in her earlier filing.
According to reports, Dre has left the decision on a Los Angeles Superior judge to find whether the agreement holds any validity or not. He has also said that until the decision comes out, Young has no right to get involved in his business records, which she has filed subpoenas to obtain. But Speer, Anderson, and Rogers all have hired lawyer Kris LeFan to fight Young's legal efforts to subpoena them as witnesses. On Tuesday, October 27, their lawyer filed a motion on behalf of them, which stated that they have no “information relevant to the enforceability” of the agreement. “Any extra marital affair would be irrelevant because California is a no-fault divorce state and in a pleading or proceeding for dissolution of marriage or legal separation of the parties, including depositions and discovery proceedings, evidence of specific acts of misconduct is improper and inadmissible,” the motion filed by LeFan read.
This comes after earlier this month reports stated that Young took $385,000 from Dre and his business partner’s account without their knowledge. Larry Chatman is the partner in business with the music mogul and he reportedly filed a police report claiming Young embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from their business account without informing them.
But Young fired back saying she has right over the money since the corporate account has her name also. Previously also she was called out by Record One — a company she and Dre founded together — for "blatant and unjustifiable criminal embezzlement of corporate funds”. But at that time, her lawyer Bryan Freedman, said: “This is just a low-grade PR stunt by Andre and his team to try to change the fact that he was caught red-handed and sued for trying to cheat Nicole out of community property to which she is entitled. There is no question that Nicole had both the contractual and the legal right to have taken this action and Andre's team is well aware of this fact. Any suggestion she did something untoward is preposterous and pathetic.”
