Jerry Heller, who was depicted as somewhat of the culture vulture in Straight Outta Compton — is now suing Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, the Estate of Eazy E, NBC Universal, and others for the wrongful portrayal of him in the film. Really, I feel that this isn’t too far-fetched from the truth, vultures have been looking for ways to capitalize off black culture for years.
But, I’ll let TMZ tell you the story: “He 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.”
