Eazy-E Not Shown In The Proper Light In “Straight Outta Compton,” Jerry Heller Says

Straight Outta Compton is seeming to be a very controversial movie for the people involved. Jerry Heller is not happy with how Ice Cube and Dr Dre portrayed Eazy E and himself in the movie. Check out what Heller had to say:

“They’re saying things about me in that film that not only are not true, but they’re very demeaning and degrading,” Jerry Heller said. “And now it means that everybody all over the world is gonna think that about me. And it’s just not true. It’s just that so much more focus and attention is being brought to the movie now. I certainly would have felt a lot better if I was portrayed honestly. And if Eazy was portrayed in the light that he should have been.”

“Well, I think it was a combination of Ice Cube and Dr. Dre and the widow,” he said. “I’m very proud of the work that he did. And I’m proud of the success that Ice Cube has had. They have no reason to be saying those things about me. I think with Cube, maybe it was jealousy of Eazy…It’s always easier to take a shot at the white Jew. He sort of felt that I was—took Eazy’s side against him.”

Do you believe Eazy was portrayed in a bad light?
