Frankly, I'm surprised that so many didn't know about this since this definitely made headlines (in the same vein of Chris Brown/Rihanna) when I was a kid:

(And, yes, I'm aware there's another thread on this movie, but I refuse to validate the existence of SON's resident David Duke.)

Thanks for sharing her story. I'd never heard about it before now.

I only vaguely remember it. I paid zero attention to hip hop back then. I was still firmly in my cheese metal phase.

That's the thing that always needs to be remembered about biopics. They only tell a small part of any story.

They also chopped out Dr. Dre abusing one of the mothers of his kids, R&B singer, Michel'le. 

 

While I am glad the film is doing good for Ice Cube, who is a standup guy, this film has tarnished my view for Dr. Dre.
