Dr. Dre Addresses Abuse Accusations With Apology, Apple Releases Supporting StatementWith the recent release of the movie
Straight Outta Compton detailing Dr. Dre's hip-hop group N.W.A, unsavory moments from Dre's past were unearthed as critics questioned why the movie didn't cover his
abuse towards women. During the 1990s, Dr. Dre was accused of assaulting several women, including his girlfriend at the time Michel'le and television host Dee Barnes.
In response to the allegations, Dr. Dre has given a statement to
The New York Times apologizing for his actions and saying he deeply regrets what he did in his youth.

"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."
He added: "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."
Dr. Dre has been employed at Apple for the past year, following
the company's acquisition of Beats Electronics and Beats Music, created by both Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Apple also gave a statement to
The New York Times, supporting Dr. Dre.
"Dre has apologized for the mistakes he's made in the past and he's said that he's not the same person that he was 25 years ago. We believe his sincerity and after working with him for a year and a half, we have every reason to believe that he has changed."
At Apple, Dr. Dre is working on Apple Music alongside Jimmy Iovine. Though he has no specific title, Dre has been involved with Beats 1 radio, hosting his own weekly show called "
The Pharmacy" and has released
two albums exclusively on Apple Music, including "
Compton: A Soundtrack," the official soundtrack of the
Straight Outta Compton movie, and "
The Chronic," originally released in 1992.
