Khloe & Lamar’s Confrontation Will Be Featured On ‘Keeping Up’ Looks like Lamar Odom was right in thinking that Khloe set him up to look like a psycho stalker for her reality rating. Even though Khloe swears she was completely taken off-guard when Lamar showed up to her Soul Cycle class to have a talk…a source close to Lamar says Khloe has been teasing her ex and keeping up communication for months to string him along and make him jealous. Via RadarOnline : It’s been more than two years since Lamar Odom appeared on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but he still can’t escape the reaches of reality TV treachery. According to insiders, he believes his recent confrontation with Khloe Kardashian outside an L.A. Soul Cycle was a blatant setup — and that he’s about to be humiliated on TV yet again. A source told RadarOnline.com that the former NBA star is telling friends, “Khloe had been talking to him on the phone leading up to the incident at the gym.” “Khloe is saying she had to change her phone number because Lamar had been calling her, but that is just wrong,” the source told Radar. “Lamar absolutely got the new number from Khloe. She has been trying to make him jealous that she is now dating James Harden.” “Khloe had mentioned to Lamar that she would be going to the gym the next morning, and he showed up because he wanted to talk to her,” the source continued. “Lamar didn’t grab Khloe and wasn’t stalking her.” “After a picture of the incident was published, Lamar obviously got very upset. He has also learned that this is going to be part of Khloe’s drama on the next season of KUWTK and it makes Lamar sick that she betrayed him.” You would think that after the last set-up she put him though , he wouldn’t entertain this foolishness out of his ex!

It’s been a big week for Dr. Dre. The NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton is officially the surprise hit of the summer, and his new album – the appropriately titled Compton – has met with mostly favorable responses from critics and audiences alike. Unfortunately, not everyone is thrilled with the projects that have cemented Dre’s place as one of hip hop’s most beloved and bankable legends. First, there were complaints about Eminem’s rape reference on Compton – a shocking lyric, even by the standards of an emcee who’s ability to offend is the stuff of legend. Now, Gawker has asked former TV personality Dee Barnes – who was famously assaulted by Dre in 1991 – for her take on the acclaimed film that depicts Dre not only as a musical genius, but as a champion of the downtrodden. “Dr. Dre straddled me and beat me mercilessly on the floor of the women’s restroom at the Po Na Na Souk nightclub in 1991,” Barnes writes. “That event isn’t depicted in Straight Outta Compton, but I don’t think it should have been, either. The truth is too ugly for a general audience. “I didn’t want to see a depiction of me getting beat up, just like I didn’t want to see a depiction of Dre beating up Michel’le, his one-time girlfriend who recently summed up their relationship this way: “I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat on and told to sit down and shut up.” Yes, it seems Barnes isn’t the only one who suffered horrific violence at the hands of Dr. Dre. Most biopics of famous musicians tend to gloss over some of the uglier parts of their subjects’ pasts. It’s a compromise that comes with obtaining the rights to use their music and securing their endorsement of the project. In Barnes case, however, the incident is well known (Dre protege Eminem even referenced it in the 1999 song “Guilty Conscience.”), and many viewers have expressed shock that it was in no way acknowledged in SOC. As Barnes said, the film could have easily addressed the incident without graphically portraying it. Instead, it made Barnes and Dre’s other victims “casualties of Straight Outta Compton’s revisionist history,” once again reducing them to the level of overpowered victims.

Dr. Dre: Allegations of Violence Against Women Resurface Following Release of Straight Outta Compton

Dee Barnes Speaks On “Straight Outta Compton” Another woman famously beaten by Dr. Dre has addressed the absence of his violent past in box office smash “Straight Outta Compton.” The backstory: in 1991, Dre, apparently displeased with the outcome of a report on NWA that Dee anchored, confronted the journalist at a showcase and ultimately slammed her head into a concrete wall, tried to throw her down a flight of stairs, kicked her, and stomped her fingers while she was on the floor. Dee says that while she doesn’t think her beating (or the multiple others he handed out to women) needed to be dramatized in the film, they should have been addressed somehow. Via Gawker : That event isn’t depicted in Straight Outta Compton, but I don’t think it should have been, either. The truth is too ugly for a general audience. I didn’t want to see a depiction of me getting beat up, just like I didn’t want to see a depiction of Dre beating up Michel’le, his one-time girlfriend who recently summed up their relationship this way: “I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat on and told to sit down and shut up.” But what should have been addressed is that it occurred. When I was sitting there in the theater, and the movie’s timeline skipped by my attack without a glance, I was like, “Uhhh, what happened?” Like many of the women that knew and worked with N.W.A., I found myself a casualty of Straight Outta Compton’s revisionist history. Dre, who executive produced the movie along with his former groupmate Ice Cube, should have owned up to the time he punched his labelmate Tairrie B twice at a Grammys party in 1990. He should have owned up to the black eyes and scars he gave to his collaborator Michel’le. And he should have owned up to what he did to me. That’s reality. That’s reality rap. In his lyrics, Dre made hyperbolic claims about all these heinous things he did to women. But then he went out and actually violated women. Straight Outta Compton would have you believe that he didn’t really do that. It doesn’t add up. Not only does Barnes say she still suffers migraines from the brutal incident, but her career was never the same after that night. She’s been unable to work full-time as a journalist, for every outlet’s fear of ruining their relationship with the billionaire music mogul in the present day: People ask me, “How come you’re not on TV anymore?” and “How come you’re not back on television?” It’s not like I haven’t tried. I was blacklisted. Nobody wants to work with me. They don’t want to affect their relationship with Dre. I’ve been told directly and indirectly, “I can’t work with you.” I auditioned for the part that eventually went to Kimberly Elise in Set It Off. Gary was the director. This was long after Pump it Up!, and I nailed the audition. Gary came out and said, “I can’t give you the part.” I asked him why, and he said, “‘Cause I’m casting Dre as Black Sam.” My heart didn’t sink, I didn’t get emotional; I was just numb. Most recently, I tried to get a job at Revolt. I’ve known Sean (Combs) for years and have the utmost respect for him. Still nothing. Instead of doing journalism, I’ve had a series of 9-5 jobs over the years to make ends meet. WOW. Who had any idea that this one incident was still affecting her this much? Do you think F. Gary Gray and the producers/writers should have found a way to at least touch on this dark point of NWA’s rise to fame??
