Last week, Dr. Dre issued an apology to "the women I've hurt" in response to renewed public scrutiny of his history of physical abuse. Over the weekend, one of those women, his ex-fiancée Michel'le, responded to that apology in an interview an interview with the BBC's Dotun Adebayo. She said Dre did not personally reach out to her before giving his statement."I don't really think it's a sincere apology," she said. "I didn't ask for a public apology and I think if he is going to apologize he should do it individually. To just group us like we are nothing and nobody—I just don't think it's sincere... Treat us like we have names"

She added: "He's selling a movie. I just think it's good PR at the moment."

Michel'le had previously spoken out about his violence during their relationship. Speaking about the recently released N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton, in which she does not appear, she said: "Why would Dre put me in it? If they start from where they start from, I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat up and told to sit down and shut up."
