Kim Mathers has revealed details about her October 2015 suicide attempt.
“I [sat] at the end of a road where I knew that no one else but myself would get hurt,” Eminem’s ex-wife says during an interview with Detroit radio show “Mojo in the Morning.” “Yes, I drank. I took pills and I hit the gas and aimed for a pole. What wasn’t played in those interviews was that I apologized immensely. I did not even expect to make it through that and told them that I tried to do this on purpose. I’m so sorry. I never lied to them. I told them everything that I did and they said I was in my right state of mind. Why did they try to petition me to go to into a psychiatric hospital if I wasn’t willing to go willingly?”
Kim Mathers called into the radio program to discuss why the records in the case had been sealed.
“There was medical information in there that had nothing to do with the rest of the case,” she says. “Those 911 tapes where I said that I was sorry and that it was intentional and that I never expected to make it out of that alive. My kids were very supportive afterwards. I hate having to relive every mistake that I make or every bad decision.”
She also says that she’s upset by the way people have suggested she’s gotten preferential treatment in her corresponding DUI case.
“Our family has never gotten [preferential] treatment or whatever in any court case that we’ve had,” she says. “It’s been all over the news. Everything that we’ve ever done has been public and the reason that I’m upset is because all of those tapes, the recordings from that accident, were not played. I have been clean for 10 years. There are things that go on in people’s lives and just because people think that we have money that it makes us happy. Yeah, I can pay bills. Yeah, I can get my kids whatever they ask for and it’s great to see them happy. But you lose friends. You lose family. You have no one to trust, to even speak to about personal business and it’s hard.”
Mathers says that Eminem has been someone who has helped her, though.
“He’s been real supportive,” she said. “We’re really close friends. We’re just trying to raise our kids together and make it as normal for them as possible.”
A hearing regarding the DUI case is scheduled for May 26, according to The Detroit News. Mathers’ attorney is seeking to have evidence thrown out and the case dismissed because the attorney says that Mathers was not in the right state of mind when she agreed to take blood tests. Prosecutors say that she gave her consent freely and that she was not incapacitated.
Suicide is no joke, Em is great.
The whole life story of Kim is just tragic as fuck.
There are many people with life stories of hardship and tragedy that don’t have the money or means to get help. If u really want to raise your kids as normal as possible then show them you can get help and recover!
i always wondered about the whole Kim and Em story to this date..u heard mostly back in the early 2000s, but nothing more..i feel like Eminem hides out anymore like he dont want attention and his personal life exposed as much
when your husband sings and get famous with lyrics about how much you are a piece of shit, well then
She need psychological help not jail just ban her from driving for a couple years n have her drug tested every month. She got money n lot of free time no way she been clean for 10 years drugs have always been her routine aint this like the 3rd time she trie to off herself even tho she got kids family n money in her life
The common thought is Kim has it made rich in money Eminem’s ex kids ect…. And this suicide attempt and other ones just seems incredible she has sooo much to live for…. But we are human and depression is sooo overwhelming being rich and famous most everyone wishes for that.. But Kim is real and rough childhood and serious depression can take hold its sad. I hope people don’t judge her that’s what people are good at judging. Kim don’t worry about people their mean in general I hope you can find peace and comfort you had some hardships to deal with recently I hope you can deal with your pain I wish you the best
If you can’t understand her please don’t judge her. I can only imagine how messed up her mind is after how she grew up and what she went through and her addictions. Then add all the public exposure and not being able to have trusting people around you; loneliness is hard! She is probably a wonderful person who just tries to do her best. Just look how their kids grew up to be so normal and avoid the spot light; that says a lot about how hard they have tried to be at their best for the kids despite them dealing with depression and personal issues. They broke the pattern in that family cos now their children will be much healthier mentally and raise their own in a healthy loving way. God bless you, Kim and Em and all your family!
