During the R&B Divas LA reunion, we learned about the nature of Michel'le's relationships with Dr. Dre and Suge Knight, the fathers of her 2 children. Dr. Dre would physically abuse Michel'le, which resulted in him breaking her nose. It was so crooked that Michel'le had to have multiple surgeries to try and repair it, and she ended up with the very thin nose we see on her now.

.

Check out the first 3:30 minutes of this video:

Apparently Michel'le and Dr. Dre are in a good place now and she wants to work with him again:

.

Some other tidbits Michel'le revealed during the reunion:

.

-Dr. Dre cheated on her for a couple years with the woman he went on to marry after Michel'le, and had other affairs too

-She and Suge Knight tried to get married while he was in jail, but it was deemed invalid by the courts. They tried to do it over the phone

She was actually laughing about it.

Her voice.. omg... omg.... omg her voice.... omg.

I am sorry but this shit seems so stagged Wendy is being dramatic as hell... as usual. And Michel'le was laughing about this and her excuse was ''m,y father never said he loved me enough''

This story just seems.....

I'm still not convinced that's her real voice... it was cute in 89 lmao

I recently started watching that show,mainly to see the lovely Chante Moore

Michel'le was really entertaining.She's tiny,yet really cute and fun to watch.Her voice is totally unique

Kelly Price turned out to be a witch I can't believe the way she behaved! smh

I also wonder if that's her real voice or if she's "putting it on". She mentioned something about speaking over her larynx? Doesn't taht suggest that she can control it? I think it's odd for a grown woman to speak that way but whatever and it was odd that she was making such light out Dr. Dre beating her. Kelly Price was dispicable on the show. I hated when she got up in Fred's face. He didn't deserve that at all. She should seriously consider losing weight. Her body is out of control. She has a pretty face and a jacked up body. Lil Mo is funny to me and surprisingly I liked her voice the most of all the ladies. She's a power house and should be doing more.

I didn't watch the show but Kelly's attitude doesn't really surprise me. She has that vibe to me for some reason. Michel'le's voice might be real, who knows (you heard Tiny's? LOL) but still freaking odd lol

She explained her speaking voice on Soul Train years ago. It's around 4:20.

Has Kelly always been stank or could it be that Whit's death, just fucked her up that much. She was with Whit in that club the night before Whit died.

Yes, I have unfortunately. Can she please get elocution lessons?

And while we are on about the show, why was Claudette Ortiz on there? Not hating on the girl, but how in any way was she a diva? I mean, she barely ever had a career, let alone a hit or hits that most people know off the top of their head. Was Karen White not available? I know she is trying to get back in the game. The other ladies on the show are well known and have paid many a due. Claudette was in that whack City High group that Wyclef put together. Also, when the ladies did their runs right before the commercial, they all could bring it. Claudette couldn't really sing.

Good question and when they announced some of the ladies are going on tour, Claudette had a look on her face like she was pissed. I'm thinking to myself, this broad barely has a career how can she possibly be upset they didn't ask her?? It makes no sense at all. She was lucky to get a spot on the show if you ask me. Hardly anyone knew who she was.

I think Claudette may have some attitude there that she is kinda covering up well or trying to.

while watching the show,I kept wondering "who is Claudette"?? I can't remember her hit single.She seems like a nice lady,though

I don't know what her problem is,but she has no class.She behaved in a ghetto way,then complained that it's the show's fault for editing her comments and making her look like a mean bitch

Assuming that these allegations are true: why would Dr. Dre agree to work with someone who made such damaging accusations about him? Especially when it affects his reputation?

"Well, why aren't you beating me? You don't like me?" DAMN!!

I watched R&B Divas season 1 for all of them except Claudette (was never really a fan).

Turn out my fav before the show, and is still is Lil' Mo aka superwoman. Chante aka wonder woman & Michel'le aka Minnie Mouse (lol) are cool too.

-Claudette is a beautiful girl, but is way too quiet. Sometimes I forget she was on the show. She needs to open up more.

-Kelly is a bytch. SMH, she wore the same dress on the reunion as she wore on her last album cover. And now Kelly is backtracking on things she said, for example the straight edge razor she brought to the rehearsal which was a shot at Chante.

-Dawn proved the rumors about her are true. She's not easy to work with. And I agree with Wendy, they need to hold back some of Dawns pay for not showing up.

I was a fan of Kelly Price but something about her irks me nowadays. I wonder if she tried to act like this with Stokely when they made Not My Daddy.

I watched this season mainly for Chante Moore. I like Dawn too but her mischievous ways turned me off altogether. I gave her the benefit despite her ratchetness with EnVogue but this woman is a koo koo bird. I also wondered why Kelly turned bitchy on the show but then I felt bad for her when she told her story of rape at the age of 3. I too wondered why they picked Claudette to be on the show. City High was a quick 5 minute high and truthfully I would have never remembered them if Claudette wasn't chosen to be on the show. She seems to be a genuinely sweet person and she's a gorgeous lady. She has been through some stuff too and I hope she comes back and be successful whether acting or singing.

same here I've been in love with her for so many years,lol

Dawn is crazy her behavior was odd.I know she was going through all that heartbreak because she can't have a baby,but that's no excuse for the way she behaved.When she sided with the bitchy Kelly Price,I was done with her.

I still do not know anything about Claudette I'll have to go to Youtube and check out some City High performances.She seems to be a nice lady.

Only thing I know about Claudette is when she married that one guy from City High, the other guy from City High lost his mind and was on that Intervention show

I watched the first two or three episodes and stopped watching because the show boring as hell. I tuned in because I love Ms. Chante Moore...I was inclined to continue watching after seeing her and ex-hubby Kadeem Hardison's strong friendship....but after the episode when Kelly invited the girls out to Vegas for some charity event that Kelly didn't bother to show up to, I had to cease my time with this show. Especially after the ladies confronted her about it and she acted like she had more important things to do....huh what? How trifling is it to invite guests out to a whole other state for a charity event and then decide not to show up and it's supposed to be acceptable? Not on my watch.

Claudette was with the crazy dude first, then when the group broke up, she and the crazy dude broke up and she married the other guy in the group. She's very pretty and beautiful, but honestly I couldn't stand City High's music and thought they were quite corny.

That raised red flags to me...

I think most of us were surpried by Kelly. I think she started backtracking on the reunion because she was getting backlash over the past few months. Then, it must of sunk in that her behaivor on the show was gonna mess with her touring money.

Before her and Chante's big blowout, I knew something was gonna go left after reading the credits in Chante's new album. She specifically gave shout outs to Lil Mo, Michel'le and Claudette, and said she would see them next season.

At the time, I said- something must have happened on the show- and sure enough, that same week, hell broke loose.

I know right!!! I didn't like them either. I didn't like the Carmel song and I didn't like "What Would You Do."

The only reason I have "What Would You Do" is because it's on the Life soundtrack... then they remixed it for their album and it because a hit single. But I knew they weren't gonna last.

So for us folks who didn't bother to watch, what did exactly happen between Kelly and Chante?

Kelly just really turned out to be the "mean girl" on the show. She lied and tried to get at Chante after they were working on a stage play. There was so much..

I think Chante broke a lot of it down in an interview I just listen to on another thread SoulAlive posted called R&B Divas Reunion: Chante Moore Sets The Record Straight: "We're Not Going On Tour"
