Fallout and Next Steps
Sophy isn’t backing down entirely. Though his request for a restraining order has been dissolved, his $10 million lawsuit remains active. Dr. Dre’s side, however, paints this as retaliation, pointing to the musician’s complaint against Sophy with the state medical board.

But Sophy asserts that he acted within his role, doing everything he could to support his patient.
So, where does this leave things? For now, Dr. Dre walks away without the constraints of a court-mandated restraining order against him, but with Sophy’s lawsuit still very much alive, the legal battle between the two remains far from over. One thing is certain, though — this case highlights the challenges and nuances surrounding restraining orders, especially when public figures and high-stakes accusations are involved.
