Dr. Dre is FINALLY apologizing for beating up a female journalist by the name of Dee Barnes. It happened 26 years ago; at the time Dre was quoted saying “People talk all this sh**, but you know, somebody f*** with me, I’m gonna f*** with them. I just did it, you know. Ain’t nothing you can do now by talking about it. Besides, it ain’t no big thing__I just threw her through a door.”
Dre is changing his tune and now saying “I was out of my f**king mind at the time. I f**ked up. It’s a major blemish on who I am as a man.”
Dre has said publicly that the biggest issue was the culture back then; the idea that it was ok to beat up women; especially black women.
Well, I’m here to say it wasn’t ok then or now. I’m glad that Dre is taking accountability and saying that any man that hits a woman is a blanking idiot.
Frankly, I think he needs to say it more and do more for the fight to end domestic violence. I actually tweeted him when he first apologized a couple of years ago and said exactly that. He did not respond.
