Dr. Dre’s Assault Of Dee Barnes Was In Straight Outta Compton!!!

Straight Outta Compton’s Original Script Included Dee Barnes Assault but director F. Gary Gray had to make some cuts for run time.

It was one of the MOST infamous assaults in N.W.A.’s history which took place in 1991, when Dr. Dre assaulted Dee Barnes in a the women bathroom.

CelebNMusic247.com reported on the Dee Barnes’ Gawker article explaining the situation and her views on Straight Outta Compton. But we’ve learned that her story line in the film was one of many cuts to make the run time shorter from its original 220 minute length.

As for, the Dr. Dre’s 1991 assault of Dee Barnes, Director F. Gary Gray addressed the omission in an interview last week. He emphasized that, with an 150-page script and an original editor’s cut running three and half hours long, there was no room for “side stories” that didn’t serve the film’s central narrative.

Barnes article was a reminder that, however popularly and critically acclaimed, the film is a subjective history and does not present a comprehensive account of N.W.A.’s rise to stardom.

Barnes claimed that her incident with Dr. Dre was NEVER in the script and was NEVER filmed. Well we have the evidence proving Barnes wrong. The LA Times obtained a copy of the original script that included the assault scene in its pages. Here is their description:

In the scene, the fictional Dre, “eyes glazed, drunk, with an edge of nastiness, contempt” (per noted from the script) spots Barnes at the party and approaches her.

“Saw that [expletive] you did with Cube. Really had you under his spell, huh? Ate up everything he said. Let him diss us. Sell us out.”

“I just let him tell his story,” Barnes’ character retorts, “That’s what I do. It’s my job.”

“I thought we were cool, you and me,” Dre fires back. “But you don’t give a [expletive]. You just wanna laugh at N.W.A, make us all look like fools.”

The conversation escalates, Barnes throws her drink in Dre’s face before he attacks her “flinging her around like a rag-doll, while she screams, cries, begs for him to stop.”
