Dr. Charles Sophy filed a lawsuit against Dr. Dre (born Andre Young) on Wednesday (October 9) in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The divorce psychotherapist alleges that Dre subjected him to “systematic and malicious” forms of “unbearable harassment” following his work mediating the dissolution of the hip-hop legend’s decades-long marriage to his now ex-wife, Nicole Young. The lawsuit alleges that instead of using the mediation process as a form of growth, “Young decided to take his frustrations about the mediation out on Dr. Sophy” in a “nearly year-long sustained campaign of late-night texts, threats of intimidation and violence, and homophobic rhetoric.”

Dre’s threats became so severe that Sophy feared for his life and took to wearing a bulletproof vest for protection. The lawsuit includes allegations of civil harassment and a threat of violence based on his sexual orientation, with Sophy seeking a court order prohibiting contact and compensatory damages of at least $10 million.
