The box office success of the NWA biopic ‘Straight Out Of Compton’ didn’t come without controversy.

Some fans claimed the movie omitted key aspects of Dr. Dre’s life, including his alleged abuse of recording artist Michel’le.

Now it’s Michel’le’s turn to tell her part of the story in her Lifetime movie, and she isn’t letting threats of a lawsuit get in her way.

She told TMZ Dre’s cease and desist letter is an empty threat because she knows the truth.
