Superstar producer Dr Dre has been going through it this month as his wife, Nicole Young, who filed for divorce in July, is demanding $2 million a month in spousal support. Following the backlash she received as the news made the rounds, Dr Dre’s wife has given a breakdown of her alimony request.
Nicole Young wants $1,936,399 to cover her expenses. Here’s the breakdown
— Laundry and cleaning $10,000 a month
— Clothes $135,000 a month
— Education (tuition and living expenses) $60,000 a month
— Entertainment $900,000 a month
— Charitable contributions $125,000 a month
— Mortgage. $100,000 a month
— Telephone, cell phone, e-mail $20,000 a month
In all, she says she actually has a monthly nut of $2,530,000
Sources connected to Dre say he is covering all her expenses; including the Malibu house where Nicole is staying, chefs, security, etc. But, in her documents, Nicole says Dre has been controlling with the money; denying her the right to use, among other things, her AmEx black card.
In her documents, Nicole goes into detail about the prenup she signed, using the “gun-to-the-head” metaphor just before their wedding in 1996. She also says Dre ripped it up several years into the marriage, although he denies it. If this is true, Dr Dre has as much as a billion dollars at stake.
Abuse
Nicole says things really fell apart April 1st. She claims Dre was intoxicated at their West L.A. home when he started yelling at her, “F* you. F* you. Get the f* out. Get the f* out. Go to Malibu.”
She claims at one point he ordered, “Do not spend one more cent… Period. You can’t be mean and disrespectful and spend my hard-earned money. F*** that!!! Yes, that’s a threat… I’m putting the beach house up for sale next week…”
Nicole also claims Dre is furious at her that her lawyers are trying to dig into his personal finances, threatening “war” if she persists. She also claims she became alarmed when he had his brother-in-law come to the Malibu home to pick up his Glock.
Nicole says she feared Dre and wouldn’t turn it over because she says Dre had a “history of violence and coercive control, both before and during the marriage.”
She does not elaborate but does mention texts messages from Dre after they separated. In one, he said, “Why are you ignoring me? Why are you ignoring me… should I come see you?” She says the text was “frightening” and instilled fear in her.
