Nicole Young Contests Her Prenup With Dr. Dre During Divorce, Argues It Was Voided

As their divorce proceedings begin, Young filed documents claiming that her and Dr. Dre voided their prenuptial agreement two years after they got married.

Young claims that Dre has prevented her from using credit cards and used threatening language when he demanded she not spend any money.

According to court filings, Young accused Dre of being intoxicated one night telling her: "Do not spend one more cent ... period. You can't be mean and disrespectful and spend my hard-earned money. Fuck that!!! Yes that's a threat ... I'm putting the beach house up for sale next week ..."

Young also recalled an alleged incident in which Dre's brother came to their Malibu home to retrieve a firearm for Dre. She said she became scared and refused to hand the gun over because her husband had "history of violence and coercive control, both before and during the marriage." She did not elaborate on this claim.
