Dr. Dre Gets Restraining Order Dropped in Win Against Therapist

Dr. Dre's former psychotherapist lost his bid Tuesday to win a restraining order while he sues the music mogul for alleged harassment.

In a related filing Monday, Dre and his lawyer, Howard E. King, argued that Sophy’s “proof” that he feels emotional distress “consists entirely of invoking the racist caricature that depicts Black men, like Young, as inherently violent.” Mr. Young made the bare minimum appearance (by Zoom) required to support a filing that hurled ugly and unfair claims of racism at my client,” Sophy’s lawyer, Christopher Frost, said in a statement emailed to Rolling Stone. “We have always been aware that we are up against a celebrity in this matter and, while it might be easy to make those charged and disingenuous claims and amplify them, it does not change the fact that Dr. Sophy has pursued legal action solely because of Mr. Young’s consistent pattern of behavior.
