One person who has consistently stood by Eminems side throughout his rise to stardom is Kim Scott Mathers.
However, Kim has neither confirmed nor denied these details.
Again, Kim has never responded to these claims.
In 1995, Kim became pregnant with Marshalls baby after multiple breakups.
The couple welcomed their daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, on December 25, 1995.
Debbie said the couple was still on-again and off-again during this time.
He said the couple were always getting evicted or our house was getting shot up or robbed.
At one point, the young family moved in with Kims parents.
After an incident in which all their possessions were stolen, Kim and Eminem moved back in with Debbie.
According to Eminem, the situation was still far from ideal.
Debbie, however, denied these allegations.
While he didnt have a job then, his rap career was on the precipice of blowing up.
The same year, the couple had (again) broken up.
The song ominously retells the story of a father and daughter disposing of a mothers body.
For her part, Kim did not comment on the song at the time.
February 1999 added another challenging factor to their relationship: fame.
Eminems album, The Slim Shady LP, was gaining mainstream worldwide success.
He would subsequently win two Grammys, one for the album and one for My Name Is.
Proof hinted at their undeniable connection, saying that the love they got is so genuine, its ridiculous.
Hes gonna end up marrying her.
Im not marrying you foryour money, Marshall.
Debbie also recalls how she cried throughout the thirty-minute ceremony.
It was the saddest day of my life, she said in a memoir.
According to Debbie, Kim chose not to pledge obedience during her vows.
The album featured his well-known hit The Real Slim Shady and the track Kim.
Kim is a violent, anger-fuelled track and is one of Eminems darkest songs.
The review continued, saying that the song features Eminem screaming an insane stream-of-consciousness hate spew.

At the time of the songs release, Kim said nothing.
However, during her interview with20/20, she revealed she was embarrassed and humiliated.
In July 2000, the song affected Kims mental health, and she attempted suicide.
Opinion ofDr.
Public shaming can lead to self-destructive acts and is referred to by Wen Li et al.
(2024) as a negative self-conscious emotion that results from experiencing public humiliation.
The couple settled the defamation lawsuit out of court.
In 2004, Kim entered rehab stemming from a drug possession charge (perFox News).
A few days turned into weeks, months, and nearly two years.
Eminem adopted Stevie in 2005.
Kim claimed that she didnt want to get married, but Marshall pressured her to do so.
Despite the picture-perfect wedding, their renewed marriage was short-lived.
Marshall filed for divorce just four months later, in April 2006.
The second divorce was finalized in December of the same year.
Kim claimed the marriage ended due to her disagreement with Eminems brother, Nathan.
Kims Life After the Second Divorce
Kims life post-Eminem was marred with struggle and controversy.
She battled addiction and mental health issues.
These struggles came to a head in October 2015 when Kim again tried to commit suicide.
Kim revealed to aDetroit Free Pressthat she drank, took pills, and intentionally drove into a telephone pole.
Where Is Kim Scott Mathers Now?
Sun, Kim completed a 45-day stint in rehab in 2022 and stayed clean ever since.
Kim also revealed that she still sees Marshall often enough.
Kims next big adventure will be adding the grandma title to her name!
Hailie and her husband announced they will be welcoming a baby in 2025.
She is also referenced in heartfelt songs like Mockingbird and motivational anthems like Till I Collapse.
In Eminems autobiographical film 8 Mile (2002), Brittany Murphys character drew inspiration from aspects of Kim.
Yet the real-life relationship between Eminem and Kim was far more destructive than its Hollywood depiction.
