So this whole story seems to be completely crazy...

Context: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19914...ntin-tarantino-style-because-of-boring-music/

She told The Sun that Crowe was drinking a cocktail of whisky, vodka and moonshine, as well as smoking weed.

“Russell had moonshine on the table, and then Russell calls for whisky, so then they just start mixing them up. You know, moonshine, whisky, vodka, and smoking cigarettes and smoking weed.

Russell and I get next to each other. He’s talking to me, I’m talking to him, and we start flirting. We’re having a really good time. He’s got his knee on my knee, he’s touching my leg, I’m playing him my music, he tweets my song The Big Big Beat.

He’s like, ‘I love this, you’re ­beautiful, this is great.’

So the party goes on. But there was one girl who I guess was his girlfriend.

She gets next to me and I guess this is just her chance to try and size me up and see what I’m about.

And she’s in my ear and she’s like, ‘Yeah, Russell thinks you’re so hot.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, really? Well that’s on you girl.’ You know, I’m not here for that."

Banks goes on to say that she lightly mocked another guest shortly after, and Russell "just kind of switched":

"He was like, ‘Well you know what? You’re young and you’ve never done anything in your career so you don’t know what you’re ­talking about.’

I’m a little offended but I was still keeping it light. I was like, ‘Your best days are behind you.’"

She says when this happened, a woman stood up and defended Russell.

“I said, ‘Girl, this is not the right time or place for us to be fighting, like what would happen if I got up and I slapped the s*** out of you, or I took a glass and f***ing threw it at you and you were bleeding all over the place? I would be wrong and we’d all be wrong, and the party would be done.’

Then Russell turns to me and he goes, ‘Well, you wouldn’t even get close enough to get the chance, n*****.’

And he says the word n***** so, like, quietly, under his breath.

He calls me a n*****, and then grabs me, picks me up, he chokes me by the throat, picks me up, throws me out of the room and then spits on me."

Russell ardently denies using racial slurs or physical violence against Banks, saying he grabbed her in a bear hug and escorted her out of the suite after she became violent and threateningly told guests, “You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino shit".

Supposedly Azealia was a guest of RZA at Crowe's party who she recently signed with.

Jim Jeffries has come out in defence of Crowe: https://twitter.com/jimjefferies/status/787880570114105344?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

Director Ridley Scott was also present.

Pretty crazy accusations. Crowe has a history of bad temper and Banks is known for drama so I assume this will be a wild case of he said, she said...

Jim Jefferies was at the same event and said it's bullshit and that she was being crazy as usual, for what it's worth.

If it was anyone but Azalea Banks I'd maybe believe it, but since it's coming from her it's probably 100% bullshit

This is the only part of the story I believe, Banks going from 0 to 100.

LMAO at Crow allegedly dragging her out of there like a goon from Final Fight.

I wanna be a fly on the wall JUST to see how Azealia Banks and RUSSELL CROWE ended up at the same table shooting the shit and getting a little touchy.

Because I can believe THAT part happened, and I'm fascinated.

Hollywood man....small town for real.

She's got a history of causing fights but he's thrown a phone at someone so...

She's a bit more edgy in this face-off so I would be more suspect of her story

Not quite.

Everyone that's been asked that was at the party corroborates Russell's version of the events, including RZA.

I know.

Honestly, I was concerned it may have come off as slut-shaming to suggest Azealia is lying because she's crazy.

If you're going to accuse somebody of something, maybe don't say it happened in front of a room full of witnesses who aren't going to corroborate your story. Also, try not to be a pathological liar with a history of inventing ridiculous bullshit for no apparent reason. Life lessons.

Azealia needs help. That may come off at patronizing and condescending, but it's clear she needs some professional help.

Damned if she'll live in the debt of a thief!
Damned if she'll yield at the end of the chase.
She is the Law and the Law is not mocked
She'll spit his pity right back in his face
