Yes, Dre in this movie is gonna be a lot more like the real Dre than Dre in SOC. A coward who hits women. But why is it so hard to get some real clothes from the late 80's. Looks nothing like it.

Holy fuck dude this shit looks awesome!! Can't believe they actually made this I thought it was just talk! I know y'all think it's funny but you have to admit either way you slice it this is gonna be entertaining

Well SOC made him look like fuckin Superman so its fair to balance the scale. And this actually looks good.
Dre wrote her out of history and she deserves to have her story told. I'm rooting for you Michel'le.

Dr. Dre Threatens Sony
If You Make Me Out as a Woman Beater, I'll Sue
Dr. Dre has delivered a clear threat over an upcoming TV movie that shows him beating his ex-GF senseless ... he's threatening to sue if it airs.
Sony Pictures is set to release "Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le" ... a film that depicts Dre as a woman beater. We've learned Dre's legal team fired off a cease and desist letter ... demanding that Sony back off, if it doesn't want to end up in court.
According to the letter, Dre flatly denies ever abusing Michel'le. It makes reference to the fact that they dated around 30 years ago and she never hinted at abuse or any type of violent behavior on his part. They also say she never sought medical treatment or filed a police report.
We're told Dre's character in the film is extremely violent -- attacking Michel'le by pulling her hair, punching her in the face and even pulling a gun on her.
Dre's attorneys have also warned Michel'le to back off.
The film is set for release next week.
-
Michelle already daring him to sue, sayin she got evidence of the beatings etc
-
Seeing as its a Lifetime movie Dre should just buy out all of the advert spots and put the Beats on em as he puts the beats on em.
Real life billionaire trolling ish.

Dre's catching Trump level heat from the backlash:
Dr. Dre and Suge Knight Get Heat From Fans on Twitter After ‘Surviving Compton’ Debuts
Former Death Row singer Michel’le’s biopic, Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge and Michel’le, aired last night (Oct. 15) on Lifetime. In the famous words of poet laureate Paul Wall, it had the Internet going nuts.
Seeing the trailer, in which Dr. Dre and Suge Knight are shown as abusive to women, was wild enough, but actually seeing the entire film, which definitely doesn’t show the good Doc or Suge in a good light, was a whole other story.
Before the movie even aired, Dr. Dre threatened to sue Sony Picture over his negative depiction.
The legendary producer had his lawyers send Sony a cease and desist letter, with the threat of legal action if the film airs in its current form. In the letter, Dre says he never abused Michel’le and points out that she never hinted that he was a violent person in the 30 years since they’ve dated. Dre alleges the light-voiced singer never went to the hospital or filed a police report to back up her claims.
Clearly, his legal team’s threats didn’t work. The movie aired in full Saturday night (Oct. 15) and the toll could be damaging to Dre’s public persona and future business ventures.
During the airing of the movie, people took to Twitter to sound off on Dr. Dre and Suge Knight’s portrayal. Let’ just say this film might have changed the perception of Dr. Dre for a lot of people.
Dr. Dre Took Some Major Heat During the Airing Of 'Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le'
Most of the noise surrounding Lifetime’s Saturday airing of Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le, has been about the legal action Dr. Dre has threatened to take in order to prevent the release of the made-for-TV movie, which paints the hip-hop mogul as physically and verbally abusive monster. It’s a far cry from the visionary Dre that was depicted in the Oscar nominated smash hit, Straight Outta Compton. As it turns out, Dre’s worst fears came to fruition Saturday night, as a fury of Twitter and Instagram vitriol came thundering his way, especially during the movie’s most controversial scenes
It wasn't all bad. People seemed to really dig the movie.

Audiences seemed to really sympathize with Michel'le, who told Chicago’s WGNtv, that she had no comment regarding Dre's lawsuit. “I’m not responding to it because it’s very fresh but I think the denial is a problem," she said. "I have no comment at this moment. Him threatening to sue, because that’s what he’s doing. He’s threatening to sue,” she explained.

‘Surviving Compton’ Exposes Michel’le’s Abuse By Dr. Dre And Relationship With Suge Knight; 16 Things We Learned From Lifetime Biopic
On Saturday, Lifetime aired its latest biopic, “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le,” the story of R&B singer Michel’le and her rise to fame. The movie also featured her down fall, which included substance abuse and alleged physical abuse.
Portrayed by actress Rhyon Nicole Brown, the film began at the start of Michel’le’s career and showed her relationships with Dr. Dre and Suge Knight. Check out 16 things we learned from the biopic:
1. Raised in South Los Angeles, the women in Michel’le’s life raised her to believe that if a man hit a woman, the woman just had to deal with it and it was her role to take care of the man. This is what may have led to the singer staying in an abusive relationship.
2. Michel’le’s first taste of the music world came when she was asked to sing on the World Class Wreck Wreckin’ Cru’s “Turn Off the Lights.” Unfortunately for Michel’le, she also got her first taste of the how music business works and wasn’t paid for her contributions to the song.
3. According to the film, when Michel’le just began dating Dr. Dre, the producer-rapper had two children from two different women on the way. In reality, Dr. Dre already had three children when he began dating her.
4. Michel’le’s first hit solo single came in 1989 with “No More Lies.” While Dr. Dre was the producer behind the Ruthless Records’ songs, it was Eazy-E who wanted to give Michel’le a shot at a solo career.
5. While grateful for her relationship with Dr. Dre and the world it opened her up to, Michel’le also revealed that she was terrified at the same time, never knowing what Dr. Dre would do to her next.
6. As the abuse at the hands of Dr. Dre got worse, it was Eazy-E and Jerry Heller who tried to convince Michel’le to leave the producer. Throughout the film, both men repeatedly asked the singer to leave Dre.
7. Michel’le’s substance abuse began as the abuse from Dr. Dre got worse. The singer began drinking and taking prescription drugs to mask the physical pain from being hit.
8. After realizing she was pregnant with Dr. Dre’s child, Michel’le thought about having an abortion. She and Jerry Heller both thought it wasn’t in her best interest to have a child at that moment in her career but Dr. Dre wanted to keep the child.
9. Although Michel’le had three Top 40 hits during her time at Ruthless Records, Dr. Dre decided to take her and himself to Suge Knight’s Death Row Records.
10. As things with Dr. Dre began to worsen — including having the lights in her house cut off — Michel’le turned to Suge Knight for help, someone she originally didn’t like at first.
11. While Dr. Dre’s career continued to take off during his time at Death Row, Michel’le was in a downward spiral and needed help. Although Dre didn’t want to help her with rehab, Suge Knight covered all the costs and made sure the singer got clean.
12. During her time at rehab, Dr. Dre got engaged to another woman. Michel’le didn’t find out about the engagement until she returned home.
13. After returning from rehab, Michel’le began a relationship with Suge Knight. Even though Knight was already married at the time, Michel’le had no problem with being the other woman for Knight.

14. Shortly after she began her relationship with Knight, he was sent to jail. While in jail, Knight had a list of rules for Michel’le including mandatory prison visits and stopping her from seeing her family. During his time in jail, Knight also paid Michel’le $30,000 a month, thus making the singer an employee of his.
15. Michel’le didn’t only have to put up with abuse from Dr. Dre. During her time with Suge Knight, he also abused her but luckily for the singer, having a child with Knight was the only thing that stopped the abuse.
16. While in prison, Knight proposed to Michel’le and the two were married in the jail. Knight told Michel’le he would divorce another woman to be with her but it turns out the marriage between the singer and Knight was fake, as Knight never got the divorce.
‘Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le’ Reactions: The Best Tweets & Memes
Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le aired on Lifetime, despite Dr. Dre’s attempts to stop the network from airing the film. It centers on his relationship with singer Michel’le Toussaint, the mother of one of his children. The film sparked a strong reaction from Twitter, with plenty of viewers offering funny thoughts on a film with a very serious subject.
Michel’le claims that Dr. Dre abused her, claims that Dre has denied. During the week, his lawyers attempted to stop Lifetime and Sony Pictures TV, which produced the film, from airing it. However, Michel’le, who was also married to Suge Knight, stood by her claims and Lifetime aired the film. It does include a disclaimer at the end that reads, “Dr. Dre, through his attorney, denies abusing Michel’le and challenges her credibility.”
Many viewers suggested on Twitter that the film will change their point of view of Dr. Dre. Others praised Lifetime for sticking to their plans to air it. Some also reacted to the portrayal of Suge Knight. R. Marcos Taylor, who played Knight in Straight Outta Compton, reprised his role in the Lifetime movie. Michel’le was played by Rhyon Nicole Brown.
Here are some of the best Twitter GIFs and memes shared in response to the film.

Twitter Destroys Dr. Dre & Suge Knight Over #SurvivingCompton Michel'le Biopic
Last night (October 15), against the wishes of Dr. Dre, Michel’le and Lifetime network unleashed their Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le original movie, which, according to the former First Lady of Ruthless Records, showcased the horror of her domestic relationships with both the creator of The Chronic and the notorious Suge Knight.
As the brutal scenes played out, social media users couldn’t help but to give Dre the side eye, as his character (played by Curtis Hamilton) repeatedly gave Michel’le (played by Rhyon Nicole Brown) black eyes and helped fuel a drunk addiction as she braved the abuse.
Take a look at the some of the slander Dr. Dre and Suge Knight received down below.

This shit was awful. No story, no nothing. Funny how they just make her look like a damsel in distress and just shrug off the fact that she had babies by both Dre and Suge like it was nothing.
I actually hope Dre's lawyers go to work on this one.

Yeah, stuff like that pisses me off. Can't be a good movie to me with all these inaccuracies
-
it was actually worse than the Aaliyah biopic but it keeps you more entertained just finding all the holes in the story and laughing at how over/under dramatized it was at times lol
-
I saw this movie, what the fucc??
So wait a second she legit basically says she didn't really love dre or suge ("not my type") yet she was with them cause they were taking care of her...then she had a baby by Dre, sleeps with his enemy Suge, and admits she wanted to fucc Pac (on Wendy Williams)---well there is a word for all of this...
-Whore- that's what they call women on the streets who do all that shit and way shit usuallly go s down in the streets is that either they end up getting smacked up for that shit or the men's lives they play with end up having beef and violence as well.
All that said this was stilll very entertaining as a movie, cause really any movie documenting my favorite artists I'd be into.

Danny Boy was pretty much on point about her when he said she was the devil lol

I'm about to check this out right now.
EDIT: Jamie Kennedy as Jerry Heller? Really?
Not the best acting job, but they actually made Jerry Heller look like a pretty good guy in this one. Too bad he wasn't alive to see it because I think he would've been happy.

It's kind of a double standard when blacks derail at caricatures that are made of them, but it's okay for black filmmakers to make a greedy-Jew-caricature out of Jerry.

Michel’le Has More Bad News for Dr. Dre Post Biopic: A Tell-All Book
For Dr. Dre, payback for his alleged beatings of Michel’le back in the day is turning to be a real bitch as they say.
That’s because in the wake of her Lifetime biopic “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le,” the diminutive singer with the big voice , is not through with him, yet.
Guess what? Over the weekend, she revealed that she is in the process of writing a book about her relationship with him. She shared the news while responding to a fan on Twitter.
(https://www.eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/michelle-tweet-book.jpg)
Meanwhile, her biopic aired and received rave reviews from viewers. The made for TV film via Lifetime shared her life story, along with revealing the alleged abuse that she received at the hands of Dr. Dre throughout the course of their relationship, a claim he not only denies, but threated to sue the network and Sony if the film aired. Well ovviously it did, so we’ll see if he goes through with the threat.
In fact, he film’s executive producer, Leslie Greif, confirmed that Dre did in fact issue a cease and desist letter to Sony Pictures to try to stop the film from airing.
“I heard Sony said they vetted the film and stand by it, and will not allow Michel’le’s voice to be silenced. They’re supporting this picture … These are not new stories. Dr. Dre and Suge Knight have not seen the film to my knowledge, and are presupposing what they did and how it might make them appear on screen.”
As you can tell by the title, “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le,” the film also portrays Michel’le’s relationship with Suge Knight, the co-founder of Death Row Records. According to theJasmineBrand, neither Dr. Dre or Suge (who is still in lockdown at LA County Jail on murder charges) have yet to respond publicly or through their reps about the film.
The new NWA movie depicts Michel'le's abuse by Dr Dre – but is it true?
The Lifetime biopic Surviving Compton fills in the gaps left by the other NWA movie – and reveals that women in the rap stars’ orbit were callously abused
Last year’s blockbuster biopic Straight Outta Compton chronicled the rise of gangsta rap pioneers NWA and their label, Ruthless records. But the film almost entirely neglected a lynchpin member of the crew: Michel’le.
The late 80s R&B star is the subject of a new biopic, Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Me, which debuted over the weekend on Lifetime. It covers much of the same ground as the NWA film – the volatile late 80s and 90s, when NWA’s hardcore hip-hop swept the nation. But Straight Outta Compton didn’t show how Michel’le’s radio-friendly ballads and uptempo dance tracks helped pave the way for Ruthless’ mainstream credibility. It also failed to portray NWA producer Dr Dre’s repeated violence against women – violence that Michel’le, Dre’s former long-term girlfriend and mother of his son Marcel, alleges as well.
Surviving Compton seeks to set the record straight. Though the production values don’t rival those of last year’s hit (the producers were unable to secure access to NWA’s music, for example), it fills in large gaps in the story.
Prior to its release, Dr Dre’s lawyers threatened legal action against the film-makers if the movie contained scenes of him assaulting her, which he denies. But Surviving Compton nonetheless contains numerous chilling sequences of Dre beating her, and even one where he shoots at her. He’s otherwise portrayed as a cheating, boozing manipulator who neglects her once he becomes famous. Michel’le’s next love interest – Suge Knight, by now Dre’s arch rival – doesn’t come off much better.
The question many viewers will have after their viewing: is the film accurate?
I would say, for the most part, yes. I extensively interviewed Michel’le and other survivors of Dre’s alleged abuse for my new book Original Gangstas: the Untold Story of Dr Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur, and the Birth of West Coast Rap, and investigated their claims. The film largely echoes Michel’le’s accounts to me, though she never went to police with her allegations – unlike other women including television host Dee Barnes and Lisa Johnson, the mother of three of Dre’s children who alleged he beat her many times, including while she was pregnant. (Dre pled no contest to beating Barnes, and received probation, while Johnson was granted a restraining order against him. A Ruthless rapper named Tairrie B also maintains that Dre beat her.)
To be sure, Surviving Compton glosses over many details. It depicts the squeaky-voiced South Central native Michel’le being plucked from obscurity from a job folding clothes at the mall to sing with Dr Dre’s first group, but neglects a funny detail I uncovered – that her initial stage name was Baby, and she walked around with a pacifier around her neck. Other details – that NWA were marijuana fans, or that Suge Knight intimidated Tupac Shakur and bossed him around – are entirely false.
But the soul of the story rings true. Michel’le’s character, as a young girl, is taught by the women in her life that men beating women is normal, and should be tolerated. She endures Dre and Suge’s abuse for the promise of money, fame and – most importantly – love. Despite her early success she never reaches her singing potential, partly because she’s stuck raising Dre’s child in his absence. Suge promises her a fresh start, both personally and professionally, and they too have a child together, but eventually his violent tendencies sabotage everything. The performances of Rhyon Nicole Brown (as Michel’le) and R Marcos Taylor (reprising his Straight Outta Compton role as Suge Knight) are particularly strong. A surprisingly sincere Jamie Kennedy, meanwhile, plays recently deceased NWA manager Jerry Heller, who somehow comes off better than anyone else.
Mirroring the arc of films like the Tina Turner biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It? the story ends with Michel’le’s affirmation of self, and before the final credits we receive great news: she’s recording a new album and touring again. While it’s likely that Surviving Compton won’t endure like Straight Outta Compton, owing to its smaller budget and platform, if there were any justice in the world the two films’ DVDs would be sold as a bundle. After all, the story of NWA is simply incomplete without the story of Michel’le.

A book? She's just trying to make some money.

Back when Michel'le was a guest on The Breakfast Club she said that Dre gave her 5 black eyes, but in the movie she was gettin' beat up all the time. I wouldn't be suprised if some of the scenes in the movie were made up for real. Dre shouldn't have hit her even once though.

If Yall Think This Movie Is Garbage Yall Truly Are A Bias Crowd... She Told Her Story And It Turnt Out Pretty Great To Be A Chick Flick!!!
The Dates & Scenes In The Movie May Be Off But Its Just Showing us The Outlook Of Things... Like When Her & Suge Was Watching The News Of Tupac Being Shot.... That Part Was Showing Us That They Was Still Together During That Time!!!
Alot Of People Down Talked The Movie Way Before It Came Out... So I Wouldnt Expect Positive Feedback On Here!!!

Yes .. His portrayal in this movie seemed more accurate than in SOC
From different points of view, everyone is different.
I haven't seen this movie, but I've heard her interviews on the topic many times. From my readings of it, Dr. Dre and her were in a wild relationship that she didn't know was abusive because it was normal to her, and Dre. So they just continued what they know. With that said, Dre was very abusive and always drunk. To her Jerry was amazing. She talked over and over about how he gave them money and a way of life. Sure it wasn't as much as Death Row, but it was something. Michel'le seemed like someone who really wanted to live a simple life, have her children and settle down with Dre. But Dre was getting more and more abusive, he started dating Sedale Threatt's wife and yeah.
From what I've heard from the movie, it seems like it's really from Michel'le's point of view. But looking at it in retrospect, what was said about NWA just standing there, let's not forget that Ice Cube wrote Eazy's line, "Jockin' the bitches, slappin' the hoes." This was a group what wrote about domestic violence and slapping bitches. What was she expecting? The problem is there is a lot of research about why women stay in abusive relationships. Michel'le then jumps from one abusive relationship to a mentally abusive relationship with Suge. From her interviews, Suge was very seductive, almost like the Devil. I think in that phase, she got very cocky, and very arrogant. Like she was on top of the world. Of course she'd get knocked down.
As for the 2Pac getting slapped around by Suge, I haven't seen the movie, but from what I gathered 2Pac would have beat the shit out of Suge. This might be Michel'le trying to bury 2Pac because it was known she was highly attracted to him. But one of the most consistent commentaries was that 2Pac would have fucked up anyone, including Suge, who messed with him. As one of his closest friends put it, he loved to fight.

I'm sure it was dramatized for the movie, but it's well known Dre was a woman beat back then.

Frank Alexander, the dude who shadowed 2Pac, claimed he loved fighting. I know another lady close to him also said the same thing. I can't remember her name but she talked to him after the Orlando Anderson fight.

I never heard Pac beating up anybody by himself. A lot of people said that he always needed other people with him. Of course i don't know if that's true, but i remember Allen Hughes saying that Pac could not fight to save his life or somethin' like that.

Coolio has told a story of 'Pac punching King Tee in the jaw, Spice 1 talks about 2Pac trying to fight gangstas in Chicago about killing kids. He seems like someone who likes to start shit, and knows that he has about 50 dudes behind him at all times to beat someone down if shit pops off. But he wasn't afraid to take the first punch.
-
Think she put that scene of Suge punking Pac in there just to make Suge look even more evil. That was the goal of the whole movie, to make Dre and Suge look as evil as possible.

nope, this movie was 100% hot garbage and that's no bias whatsoever because it was already common knowledge that Dre had a history of hitting women and obviously he's not going to portrait that in a movie he helped executive produced about him + NWA, how is she gonna first say she was glad that her abuse wasn't shown in that movie because she didn't want to relive the moments then turn around and make it into her own movie for a quick buck ::) and now she's really gonna write a book to further capitalize or gain some relevance :laugh:
but that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining to watch a few times, it's like watching The Room or any other shitty movie that's just fun to roast, the only people giving this rave reviews elsewhere are battered women and people who actually watch Lifetime for the movies lol

For what she was tryna portray, I thought it was well executed .. The tlc movie was far worse.

But it felt so useless, like it was a story that didn't need to be told since it didn't have anything of significance. She basically just re-told the same stories we've heard about Ruthless and Death Row, but with her lingering around so you knew she was physically there. It doesn't change anyone's opinion of Michel'le or show some side of her that we didn't know was there.
Plus you know damn well that at parties hosted by Dre, Suge or whoever, she wasn't running around offering food to everyone.

We All Know Dre Was Ruff On Women Back Then, And Dre Said Michelle Can Cook Her Ass Off....
Remember This Is TV World, Not Everything Will Be 1000% Accurate Far As Scene Wise...

It's her story tho, not NWA's story .. Considering she was left out the NWA movie, I can see why she wanted to make it. She had a pretty interesting career with her relationships and all, so it was definitely different from what we saw in SOC.
I'm sure she exaggerated her side just as much as dre did.. It's human nature. Still entertaining tho.

Who's give a fuck about her today? She is nobody today and back in the day. she dedicated "aint no fun" song 8)

Beating up on a woman is some cowardly shit no matter how you slice it, but shit this was almost 30 years ago niggas was kids. If it weighed on her so much, the movie should've came out at least 10 years ago at least and not now when the child support dried up. Eazy was getting into domestics as was described in Jerry Heller's book, even had lyrics like "reach back like a pimp, slapped the hoe". Niggas didn't know any better then. Dre had achohol and anger issues with the loss of his brother among other things (which is no excuse by no means, like I said beating a woman is a bitch move) but apparently he got help and progressed from that shit. But you can tell this is an exaggerated piece to tear Dre down, the good ol' divide a conquer. Classic baby momma bashing but on-screen. All the people eating this movie up like shit was 100% facts is a damn fool. She had her own agendas no doubt. Made Dre like a weak abusive bitch, Suge like a hero, knight in shinning armor/trick, Pac like a bitch, Cube like a bitch (had that nigga swaying to the music like a bitch to her song in the studio lol) Jerry like the daddy, DOC nowhere to be found and he lived with her and Dre. Bottom line, she was foul. Dre moves on to she gets with Suge of all people. Then at the height of their beef with all the death threats a things from Suge, she goes and marries him and has a baby with him knowing Dre has a child in the household? Foul.

But her relationships overshadowed her career, which is why we saw so little of her actually being anything of substance. That's a fail in my book, if you're an artist... like when movie stars are more known for who they've had kids with than for their actual body of work.
I'm not knocking her for portraying herself in a way that exaggerates the truth, but this is too much. And again, there really wasn't a story... no real beginning, no real end.
To anyone who hasn't watched this, don't waste your time.

For what she was tryna portray, I thought it was well executed .. The tlc movie was far worse.
But it felt so useless, like it was a story that didn't need to be told since it didn't have anything of significance. She basically just re-told the same stories we've heard about Ruthless and Death Row, but with her lingering around so you knew she was physically there. It doesn't change anyone's opinion of Michel'le or show some side of her that we didn't know was there.
Plus you know damn well that at parties hosted by Dre, Suge or whoever, she wasn't running around offering food to everyone.

I side with Sccit on this one. She has the right to sell her story, and tell it like she saw it. She had a career, and she has said in interviews she put her career on the side to be a "mommy," as she said. She allowed her career to be put aside and she was next to two of the most powerful men in hip-hop history. She has the right to tell her story, and she has every right to profit off of it. You don't have to like her point of view, but it is her point of view and it is her right to tell it from there. SOC was from Dre and Cube's point of view, and not everything they said was factual either. They took a lot of liberties with the truth. Many based on a true stories do that.

You can say the same about any lifetime movie tho .. It's always more about the life than the music.

Of course - I'm not saying that she had no right to tell her story. I'm just saying that it was a really shitty untold story that didn't need to be told and doesn't have any value. It was more about where she was and what she was doing during important eras of west coast hip hop than about her. And even the overdramatized portions can't save it or make it interesting to anyone outside of the Ruthless/Death Row fan base. Huge waste of time. People already knew Dre put his hands on women when he was younger. People won't look at Michel'le any different than before - this was a poor man's version of What's Love Got to Do with It, but without a rise to stardom or even character development. No underlying message.

Any Lifetime movie is a poor version of a movie. So it is what it is.
Many have seen it, and it created a reaction. It has some value. It also made Michel'le money so obviously it was valuable to her.

Actually, a lot of people didn't know this story .. People like me and u know, but watched it wit my girl and she learned what we already knew about her relationships with dre and suge.. Pretty sure it was the same for most the females who watch these lifetime movies and aren't as knowledgeable in rap history.

I'm about to check this out right now.
EDIT: Jamie Kennedy as Jerry Heller? Really?
Not the best acting job, but they actually made Jerry Heller look like a pretty good guy in this one. Too bad he wasn't alive to see it because I think he would've been happy.
Yes .. His portrayal in this movie seemed more accurate than in SOC
From different points of view, everyone is different.
I haven't seen this movie, but I've heard her interviews on the topic many times. From my readings of it, Dr. Dre and her were in a wild relationship that she didn't know was abusive because it was normal to her, and Dre. So they just continued what they know. With that said, Dre was very abusive and always drunk. To her Jerry was amazing. She talked over and over about how he gave them money and a way of life. Sure it wasn't as much as Death Row, but it was something. Michel'le seemed like someone who really wanted to live a simple life, have her children and settle down with Dre. But Dre was getting more and more abusive, he started dating Sedale Threatt's wife and yeah.
From what I've heard from the movie, it seems like it's really from Michel'le's point of view. But looking at it in retrospect, what was said about NWA just standing there, let's not forget that Ice Cube wrote Eazy's line, "Jockin' the bitches, slappin' the hoes." This was a group what wrote about domestic violence and slapping bitches. What was she expecting? The problem is there is a lot of research about why women stay in abusive relationships. Michel'le then jumps from one abusive relationship to a mentally abusive relationship with Suge. From her interviews, Suge was very seductive, almost like the Devil. I think in that phase, she got very cocky, and very arrogant. Like she was on top of the world. Of course she'd get knocked down.
As for the 2Pac getting slapped around by Suge, I haven't seen the movie, but from what I gathered 2Pac would have beat the shit out of Suge. This might be Michel'le trying to bury 2Pac because it was known she was highly attracted to him. But one of the most consistent commentaries was that 2Pac would have fucked up anyone, including Suge, who messed with him. As one of his closest friends put it, he loved to fight
What? Even Richie Rich said that Pac was a square and they were close friends.
I heard that and if I can remember, I'm thinking he is meaning from a standpoint of hustling and selling drugs. You gotta realize 2pac was out of his element when he was in the Bay initially. But yeah squares fight too lol.

Beating up on a woman is some cowardly shit no matter how you slice it, but shit this was almost 30 years ago niggas was kids. If it weighed on her so much, the movie should've came out at least 10 years ago at least and not now when the child support dried up. Eazy was getting into domestics as was described in Jerry Heller's book, even had lyrics like "reach back like a pimp, slapped the hoe". Niggas didn't know any better then. Dre had achohol and anger issues with the loss of his brother among other things (which is no excuse by no means, like I said beating a woman is a bitch move) but apparently he got help and progressed from that shit. But you can tell this is an exaggerated piece to tear Dre down, the good ol' divide a conquer. Classic baby momma bashing but on-screen. All the people eating this movie up like shit was 100% facts is a damn fool. She had her own agendas no doubt. Made Dre like a weak abusive bitch, Suge like a hero, knight in shinning armor/trick, Pac like a bitch, Cube like a bitch (had that nigga swaying to the music like a bitch to her song in the studio lol) Jerry like the daddy, DOC nowhere to be found and he lived with her and Dre. Bottom line, she was foul. Dre moves on to she gets with Suge of all people. Then at the height of their beef with all the death threats a things from Suge, she goes and marries him and has a baby with him knowing Dre has a child in the household? Foul.
You got my dying! @ Ice Cube swaying to the music like a bitch to her song lmao

Yall notice that when Suge got locked up he sent two Nation of Islam dudes to protect Michelle at the house?
I immediately thought of Russell Poole's initial theory of Suge hiring a guy from the Nation of Islam to take out Biggie.
I didn't even know Suge even dealt with them. Thought it was only former cops and blood buddies. Interesting.

Was like a Surviving Compton 2. No Suge, No Dre. Alonzo barely touched it. No Doggpound interviews.
