Dr. Dre's Wife Nicole Young accused of withdrawing $353,571.85 from accounts: Reports

Rapper and music mogul Andre Romelle Young aka Dr. Dre and his wife Nicole Young have recently filed for divorce. Post that, the duo has been making headlines for several reasons. However, the duo have been creating a stir on the internet ever since Dr. Dre’s record company accuses Nicole Young of ‘criminal embezzlement’ of company’s funds

In a letter sent to Young by lawyers for Record One, a recording studio co-founded by Dr. Dre in 2015. According to TMZ, the report claimed that she committed "blatant and unjustifiable criminal embezzlement" by withdrawing more than $350,000 from the company's bank account in August.

A picture of a $353,571.85 check that Young apparently wrote herself was obtained by TMZ from a Record One lawyer. Young, according to the site, was a signatory on the account. The company is reportedly planning to file a lawsuit against Young if it does not refund the money by Tuesday.

However, Nicole Young’s lawyer denied the embezzlement allegations. Bryan Freedman said in a statement that this is just a low-grade PR stunt by Andre and his team to try and change the fact that he was caught red-handed and sued for trying to cheat Nicole out of the community property to which she is entitled.
