"Straight Outta Compton" was number one at the box office over the weekend and it has garnered rave reviews. Despite the movie's success, Michel'le, Dr.Dre's ex-fiancee, said that the film didn't actually include all parts of the N.W.A members' lives. She claimed that the movie had omitted Dre's abusive past.
Speaking to VLAD TV, the R&B singer, who is the mother of Dre's son admitted that she was glad that her part was not included in the film. "But why would Dre put me in it?" Michel'le asked. "I mean if they started from where they started from, I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat up and told to sit down and shut up."
Michel'le implied that the film skipped some of Dre's past, considering that Ice Cube, the producer, knew nothing about what happened to Dre's life in early '90s. She called the film "Cube's version of his life," not Dre's, so she understood why her six-year relationship with the rapper from 1990 to 1996 wasn't included in "Straight Outta Compton".
In an interview with Power 105.1 FM's "The Breakfast Club" back in March, the singer, who dated Dre from 1990 to 1996, revealed that the rapper had broken her nose and done many other abusive actions. "I had five black eyes, I had a cracked rib, I have scars that are just amazing," Michel'le said.
It wasn't just Michel'le whom Dre was accused of attacking. Recently, TV journalist Dee Barnes wrote a statement which detailed the abuse Dre did to her. "Dr. Dre straddled me and beat me mercilessly on the floor of the women's restroom at the Po Na Na Souk nightclub in 1991," she wrote. "That event isn't depicted in 'Straight Outta Compton,' but I don't think it should have been, either. The truth is too ugly for a general audience."
However, Dre didn't deny the accusations. When Rolling Stone asked Dre about his alleged assaults on Michel'le and Barnes, he answered, "I made some f**king horrible mistakes in my life. I was young, f**king stupid. I would say all the allegations aren't true - some of them are."
He admitted that he did those terrible things. "Those are some of the things that I would like to take back. It was really f**ked up. But I paid for those mistakes, and there's no way in hell that I will ever make another mistake like that again," Dre recalled.
