Dice was 10x the villain Timothy was
I cannot believe this topic has not yet been brought up.
How, HOW, could anyone like, let alone love, this trailer trash thug?
Dice essentially purchases Billie. He tries to get her in bed on their first night out. He gets jealous when she does music vids semi-nude with semi-nude men (his excuse was she was uncomfortable, and she was, but its dead obvious he just didn't want any other men around her like that). He gets possesive & controlling when he orders her away from other producers who make offers (after all she is HIS cash cow, and he makes the excuse that they just want to get her in bed - excuse me, isn't this what you did?). He verbally assaults her friends and tells them to leave (chicks before dicks, Billie, chicks before dicks). He tries to cheat Tim out of $100,000 - a deal they made that Dice agreed to. When Tim comes around demanding to get paid Dice attacks and beats him and sends him to the hospital. Dice makes a condisending remark about Billie's mother and when she slaps him for it (which I might have done myself) he makes if very clear that he is ready and willing to hit her back.
Dice had the balls to claim he was saving Billie from Timothy. When Timothy kills him, he is saving Billie from Dice. It was perfect timing, too. Billie comes off as being suseptable to abusive relationships. She was coming under Dice's control. She was willing to forgive and forget everything he did. Had their relationship continued, Billie would be performing with black eyes while he sat back-stage drinking and snorting coke and counting the cash.
