With the success of the movie, “Straight Outta Compton,” a bright light has been focused on the lives of all characters involved, particularly Dr. Dre. Lately, Dre has been catching a lot of heat about his abusive past. So, he issued a written statement to the New York Times where he said:
“Twenty-five years ago I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did. I’ve been married for 19 years and every day I’m working to be a better man for my family, seeking guidance along the way. I’m doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again. I apologize to the women I’ve hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.”
