Jerry Heller has been pretty silent about his portrayal in the movie, Straight Outta Compton, until now.
Recently speaking with the L.A. Times, the former behind-the-scenes head of Ruthless Records hinted that suit may come from the movie’s release.
“Well, my only comment so far is that I think it’s inappropriate for me to comment on a movie that I haven’t seen,” he said when asked about Paul Giamatti’s portrayal of him. “I did see it on Saturday, and I’m still not willing to comment right now on that movie because I think sooner or later it may be part of an ongoing litigation.”
Previously, Jerry Heller said that he would not react until he had seen Straight Outta Compton as he told TMZ he was originally planning to see it opening night.
“Until I see the film, I’m not going to comment on it,” he said. “I’ll be there Thursday night in the first row with at least two of my lawyers, and we’ll see if I like it or not.”

I don’t love ruthless records
Right!! This was a N.W.A movie…It was great and I’ll pay to go see it again…Jerry needs to calm down..Like you said the truth hurts..
Can people stop suing each other in America?
Jerry mad because the truth hurts and need money ice cube and dre said thanx for purchasing the ticket tho sa prize whigger
It was a movie by ice cube and dre. of course they gonna make it look like the way they wanted. The fact is this movie has so many lies in it that it’s fucking comical
It’s an NWA movie, not a Dre and Ice Cube movie. What lies are in the movie?
Cube was right when he said that Heller was an ambulance chaser.
Par for the course.

Andre Grant’s diction is atrocious. Seriously, how do you expect to reach a wide audience without taking the time to pause and breath between words? NOT during the words. themselves Enunciating the areas where a sentence should be punched up is essential. Grant brings his tone where it doesn’t properly fit in a sentence. Basic speech classes teach this!! This is all basic technique, and he lacks this! More importantly, when introducing the next segment… PAUSE… and CLEARLY pronounce the name of the people you are speaking about. For example, from 1 minute and 17 seconds to 1 minute and 22 seconds… I have NO clue what was just introduced. I never got the name of the people and or the group he introduced. Seriously, send him to a diction class or just fire him and get someone else. For real, his diction is ATROCIOUS!!

Grant brings down his tone where it doesn’t properly fit in a sentence. He does this a lot at the end of sentence. This is a big no-no because we miss the closing points he i supposed to be making. Basic speech classes teach this!!

If I was alive I will be on top.
Bullshit…
I would sue too. That film was inaccurate. NWA had easy life’s and Jerry heller got screwed over by nwa.
Sue for what? The film was accurate. NWA did not have easy lives and Jerry screwed them over. Not his fault he was a conman.
As he should. That movie was so far off it’s a joke. The shit about eazy was disrespectful and only half truth and there are just so many lies in this movie.
How? I bet you didn’t even see the film. The film is pretty accurate in terms of the events. Eazy was treated with respect and Jerry shouldn’t sue. What lies?
Do you think the guys at Universal, Cube, Dre don’t have a team of credible lawyers who would have advised them on legal implication of defamation of character? What else can heller come up with? He’s only going to claim he wasn’t portrayed in the right way which the onus is on him to prove he didn’t do any of the things portrayed or things were exaggerated to his detriment and has therefore suffered an economic, emotional and/or physical loss. He will bring up a civil suit for the fun of it really cause if there’s evidence to prove all what they assert in the movie it’s dead on arrival in court. It won’t shock me if Cube, Universal and Dre’s team of lawyers move a motion to strike out the suit on several legal principles, rule and/or technicalities.
If you’re gonna make a docu-drama about real, living people, it needs to be accurate…especially if you’re casting certain people as the bad guy without their consent. This movie left out a lot of things (like WOMEN) and included things that were exaggerated or didn’t happen.
I do think Jerry is proving their portrayal of him right by suing, but that’s another matter 🙂
its an nwa movie not a jerry heller and dre woman beating movie… take a back seat with your fake feminism
He can sue all he wont he still aint gonna get nutin he knew the movie was comin out he see the num now he wont a cut
It is pretty fd up when you can include someone in a movie without their signature. The law is backwards.
Classic greedy K.yke, leeching off black entertainers. When is this shit going to stop? Smfh
Those this movie also explain that NWA were studiogangstas with exception of Eazy E. They were the early Rick Ross and 2Pac in terms of fake gangsat shit
Explain your logic. Eazy wasn’t affiliated with any gangs, he was a dope dealer so i guess that made him gangster in your eyes. Cube didn’t sale dope, but he did some of the realest shit, especially when it came to getting his money.
How can they be the early Rick Ross or Tupac when N.W.A. was the first ones to ever to ever do it before them? Smfh, damn u a dumb mofo…lol!
……………fuckin idiot. Eazy was a crip ,Kelly Park and got major respect.
U sholl fuckin right…..i tripped…. Eazy was a crypt….
Crip
Black people keep things pretty real and in perspective. White people tend to be fake most can not handle the truth so they make up their own rules to what ever they can justify truth.
If real means living of welfare all your life and running away from responsabilities, then your right. Black people tend to think they know shit when actually they are the most ignorant and uneducated minority in USA.
2234 That is completely irrelevant. And also racist. You must easily forget the millions of redneck hillbillys who do exactly what you’ve stated. I bet you’re just a kid, so its ok.
And most white men have small cocks, that’s why white women suck and fuck black men
At 2234 everybody i know works more whites are actually on welfare in this country bitch i would beat your face in if you said that to my face 3024 2th street Tuscaloosa Alabama 35401 its a house not a project if you really a man-coward
so many houses on that street
What the entire fuck is 2th street nigga? For real. Yal cant even bang a keyboard let alone real life. jesus. 2th…nigga, that mean TOOTH.
You’re hiding behind a fake name, on a random website, threatening people while putting up an address that doesn’t exist (2th street?), but they’re the coward? My god, could you be more of a pussy?
2234 likes pancake butt like his mom has.
