00:00
Gotta say this one shocked me. Um, it shocked me because we know both people here
00:05
Yes, so a psych people on this show on this show many times. Yes a psychiatrist by the name of Charles Sophie
00:12
Is suing dr. Dre dr. Dre and his then wife were going through couples counseling
00:20
with Charles Sophie and
00:23
That divorce is over and done with but from a couple of years ago, right?
00:28
Ended at the end of 2021 they finalized it. So
00:32
Why a lawsuit now? Well
00:35
Charles Sophie is saying he's ended up having to wear a bulletproof vest when he leaves his house because of threats
00:41
He says he's received from dr. Dre and what he finds puzzling and seems puzzling to us at least reading the lawsuit
00:48
That it came the threats came like 14 months after the divorce had been finalized
00:53
so again, if Charles Sophie is working with Nicole and dr. Dre as they're going through their divorce and
01:02
Sophie says that he was also
01:05
Counseling the whole family like their kids as well
01:08
but it 14 months later dr. Dre is
01:12
incensed about something and fires off several text messages
01:17
If I may before we get to the text messages
01:19
There was beef there that dr. Dre got angry and said that you were trying to Charles
01:25
So if you were trying to force me to settle on Nicole's terms, yes
01:30
And you had no business getting involved in our financial discussions of the divorce and then we're here to counsel
01:36
Right family and then he then he said that Dre said that
01:41
Sophie was trying to turn one of the one of their kids
01:44
Against him right by siding with Nicole siding with Nicole that's not as well. So that's
01:50
according to Charles Sophie why
01:52
Dre was so upset and said things like this in a text message and these messages were included in the lawsuit
02:00
Dre one of them says you blanked with the wrong one
02:05
That's just the beginning. Yeah what and then this is Dre now saying to Charles Sophie
02:10
What happened doc? I thought you wanted to talk cat got your tongue
02:14
You're going to have to give me a written apology. If not, I'm moving forward. I'm not playing. Trust me
02:21
I like the attitude here. Hey doc of whatever the blank you're pretending to be just know this
02:27
I'm not going anywhere until you explain to me why you tried to talk one of the kids
02:32
Into saying negative things about me to the media. You're a piece of blank
02:37
And then finally don't worry
02:40
I haven't forgotten about you and according to what Charles Sophie filed in this lawsuit those text messages were over
02:47
Several months in 2023 now
02:50
He also says that he's alleging that Dre sent these fake FBI agents
02:57
They weren't really FBI agents to his house to intimidate him. Yeah, what what is terrifying about the allegations in?
03:03
Dr. Sophie's lawsuit are the time period over which this apparently took place according to Sophie
03:09
It took place over many many months where there would be long
03:11
Lapses between texts from dr
03:13
Dre when then he would pop up again and say I haven't forgotten and that terrified him to such an extent that he says he
03:18
Wears a bulletproof vest and he wears a bulletproof cap around his house had no incident Eric. We should say nervous
03:23
We should say that what Charles just read even with the attitude that he read it with
03:30
They're not direct threats, I mean he is not saying I'm gonna beat you I'm gonna do whatever to you
03:35
He's not saying any of that. You know, you're exactly right and in one of the text
03:39
He alludes to moving forward and on his part Howard King. Dr
03:42
Dre's attorney gave us a statement and said that dr
03:44
Sophie filed this because dr. Dre moved forward with a confidential complaint against dr
03:50
Sophie trying to get his license essentially for intruding in this way and it's called an incredible competence and dereliction of duty
03:57
Yeah, he's basically saying he's an unethical psychiatrist and filed a complaint against him
04:01
So maybe that's what he was referring to in terms of going forward and dr
04:04
Sophie is saying he interpreted those things as threats
04:06
Dre also said that he felt he felt that Sophie was leaking information to the media, right?
04:12
so he has filed this official a complaint and filed it back in 2023 filed a complaint with the Medical Board and
04:20
His attorney Dre's attorney says in no uncertain terms. He wants
04:25
Dr. Charles Sophie to lose his license for the things he did
04:29
Related to Dre's family allegedly did you know the interesting thing about this because we were all over this story if you remember
04:37
Dre settled Dre had eight hundred and twenty million dollars according to all of the legal doc in the divorce
04:43
He settled for a hundred million dollars. He had a they had a prenup. She was challenging the prenup
04:49
She ended up getting a hundred million, which is about what she would have gotten I think under the prenup
04:54
We were told he would have paid her more had she not
04:57
Bought right, but they ended up they ended up settling for the hundred million
05:02
Financially, I walked away feeling like it was a win for him. He did worse. He did but according to
05:09
What Charles Sophie's put in this lawsuit Dre is not happy about what happened as far as the counseling. So
05:15
He's suing by the way, we did we say they suing for ten million dollars million bucks doctor on doctor. Yeah
05:22
I'm Rihanna. I'm from Winchester, Virginia
05:25
And in my opinion, I'm a little torn between this. So on one hand I could see dr
05:30
Dre doing this he's taunting that man and this text messages. He has a reputation of
05:36
threatening and
05:37
Violence, but on the other hand, I kind of think this counselor is kind of being a little bit dramatic
05:43
With the baseball cap and the bulletproof vest, so I'm a little torn
05:47
Hmm well, we're we know both of them. So we're we're staying neutral. Yes
