Jerry Heller Sues Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Straight Outta Compton Producers.

Jerry Heller is suing everyone connected with Straight Outta Compton, for $110 MILLION as he claims that movie defamed him.

Heller has just filed suit against Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, the Estate of Eazy E, NBC Universal and others, claiming the portrayal of him in the movie Straight Outta Compton was false and damaging. He says he was portrayed as the bad guy and sleazy manager who took advantage of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube."

Heller sat at the front row with his lawyers at the premier of the movie says other lies in the movie also include: him withholding a $75k check from Ice Cube, he fraudulently inducing Dre and Cube to sign unfavorable contracts, he enjoying lobster brunches while the contracts were being signed and he been fired by Eazy-E.

Heller claims he never gave permission to use his likeness and he wants profits from the movie as well because NBC sold tickets off his back.  He also claims producers used his book without permission for pivotal scenes, including the one where Suge Knight strong-armed Eazy-E into signing away his rights to Death Row. He also says producers didn't even bother to give his character a fake name, like "Gary Beller."

Heller is suing for $35 million in compensatory damages and at least $75 mil in punitive plus all profits from the flick.
