Kim Scott, the ex-wife of rapper Eminem, was heard hurling expletives at law enforcement officers and paramedics who responded to her home earlier this month following a suicide attempt, according to body camera footage obtained by TMZ.
During the incident, Scott, 51, was being loaded onto a stretcher outside her Michigan residence when she directed profanity at the responding personnel. In the video, she can be heard calling one officer a “f–king idiot” and telling another, “f–k you, b–ch.” At one point, Scott, who appeared to be in her bra and underwear, directed her anger towards someone inside the house, shouting, “Get the f–k out you motherf–ker. Dopehead. Now!”
According to a police report, Scott was tased and subsequently arrested for assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest after becoming “irate and combative.” A female officer later alleged that Scott bit her, and her arms were photographed where the alleged biting occurred.
Officers were initially called to Scott’s home after a relative reported via 911 that Scott had cut her wrist and was bleeding. Dispatch audio indicated that Scott was sitting on a couch listening to music with a knife in her hand and would not give it to the caller, who had managed to remove the weapon. Scott was reportedly unconscious at that point.
Scott, formerly known as Kim Mathers, was taken to McLaren Macomb Hospital for treatment. She is the mother of three and has a history of mental health struggles, including two previous suicide attempts. She has also had previous legal issues, including a DUI charge in May and a failure to appear in court for a related hearing that resulted in a warrant for her arrest.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, and Scott were married from 1999 to 2001 and then again from January to April 2006. The rapper filed for divorce for a second time just three months after their remarriage, with their second divorce finalized in December 2006.
