The singer, who was controversially omitted from “Straight Outta Compton,” will tell her side of the story in a new Lifetime movie premiering this weekend.
“Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Me” promises to tell the Death Row Records heads’ story from the perspective of the woman who famously married Knight and accused Dre of abusing her while they were together.
Barnes spoke at length to The Huffington Post about Dr. Dre’s assault—and how it impacted her career and well-being—in her first interview about the attack in nearly 25 years.
Now that Dr. Dre has made a more definitive public apology to women he’s hurt, Dee Barnes and Michel’le—two who publicly accuse him of assault and battery—have issued very different responses.
On “Compton: A Soundtrack,” a skit about murdering a woman and an Eminem punchline about rape bring to mind Dr. Dre’s history of misogynistic violence.
The legendary NWA producer and emcee join cast members of the new biopic “Straight Outta Compton” on the cover The Hollywood Reporter’s latest issue and speak about the movie, Suge Knight, and a reunion tour.
The rapper and actor discussed the inspiration behind N.W.A.’s controversial song while promoting the upcoming biopic about the group and an upcoming reunion performance.
