Jerry Heller revealed why he’s upset about a possible Straight Outta Compton Oscar nod, during an appearance on “TMZ Live.”
According to Jerry Heller, the former manager of N.W.A, he’s most upset about the possibility of Straight Outta Compton receiving an Oscar nomination because of the way he was portrayed in the film. He explained that not only was he not portrayed accurately in the film, Eazy-E wasn’t shown in the light he should have been portrayed in, either.
“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.”
In regards to those who were behind what he feels was an ill portrayal of himself in Straight Outta Compton, Heller shared his belief that it was Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Eazy E’s widow.
“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.”

Everyone already thought that about u, long before the movie.
I feel for jerry heller. A lie can make it half way around the world before the truth even has a chance to get its pants on. Cube n dre were jealous and it’s easier to blame the white guy and use the race card. That’s what I see.
What you see is a condition.
This has to be the 20th time that dx has ran this bullshit story about heller. I think what he’s forgetting is that no one really gives a fuck about him and people more than likely watched the film for NWA. Not their fucking greedy Jew manager !!
Here he goes again with the bullshit.
They did Eazy wrong in this movie. I dont give a fuck what anyone says but the Director of this movie himself said that him and Dre went on a yacht for 2 WEEKS and talked about what went down with NWA, he snitched on himself at the Breakfast Club interview. Cube looked at him with that screwface. Watch it.
Ik, Dr Dre has gone on a yatch with his family, friends and director, Hughes brothers, producer, Fred wreck rapper, Xzibit! These pictures are on xzibit’s IG and others….its no secret. You don’t need Dre to be gay for you to be proud of your sex preferences. It’s 2016, come outta the closet FAGGXT! Secondly,stop blaming Ice cube and Dr Dre for your perceived wrong portrayal of Eazy e….His widow was an executive producer, it has been said severally that she contributed in the story line,meaning she signed off eazy’s storyline in the movie dummy LOL! Lastly, like cube said recently, there has been a lot of movies about Elvis Presley, Jerry Heller and other disgruntled parties can make their own movie WTF!!!
Everyone and they mama knew/knows that heller stole money. So wheres the lie in the movie?
Why would Cube be jealous? He had 10x the talent of Eazy.
lol “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.”
That’s exactly the kind of line Jerry would have easily used in the movie…. it looks like they captured him perfectly.
Honestly the played suge and jerry right cube I don’t think was jealous I think he was smart they tried screwing him.
