Did Kim Scott cheat on Eminem? Eminem paid $100K to man he assaulted for kissing his ex wife
Eminem's ex-wife Kim Scott was reportedly discovered "bleeding excessively" in her bathroom following a suicide attempt, a police report reveals. Forty six-year-old Scott was hospitalized after attempting to take her life on July 30, 2021. As per the police report that was obtained by PageSix, Scott was said to be sitting on her bathroom floor with an "unidentified object" in her hands and had a "large amount of smeared blood" due to "deep lacerations on legs". Scott allegedly "attempted to strike the responding officer", the report claims; she also had "difficulty speaking, was slurring her speech and later fluctuated in various levels of consciousness". There was also a "small cardboard shipping box" with "haphazard messages" written out to her family, the report claims. It included a 'do not resuscitate' request' that was self-made.
Scott's life and relationship with Eminem was troubling. The two share a biological daughter Hailie Jade, 25. The couple had married in 1999 but went on to divorce just two years later. They remarried again in January 2006 but broke up by April of that very year. The tumultuous relationship also included an infidelity situation.

It was in 2000 that the rapper allegedly caught his wife cheating on him. Eminem claimed he caught Kim kissing a man named John Guerra. The rapper went on to hit Guerra with an unloaded gun, which led to assault charges. Eminem pled guilty, receiving a sentence of two years' probation.
"I truly believe he was going to kill me. He was in such a rage," Guerra reportedly said at the time. "I actually lived through a nightmare and survived a nightmare. I'm still shaking. I have a hard time sleeping." As per reports, the rapper paid Guerra $100,000 minus attorney fees.
Two months later, Eminem reportedly filed for divorce. But Kim, in a letter to the Detroit Free Press, denied that she cheated on Eminem.
"My husband came up to Hot Rocks to check up on me. Why is still unknown to me because if I was to cheat on him, it wouldn't be in a neighborhood bar where he knows I am. Had he asked any questions before he flew off the handle, he would have realized that everyone with me were only friends. The fact that he just jumped to conclusions has gotten him and myself in trouble," she had written. "I would also like to state, since my husband has had no problem trying to make me look like an unfaithful wife, that every time I find a picture of him with other women, or read in magazines that he's involved with "groupies," I don't go and show up where he is making a huge scene and getting our faces put all over the TV and papers. I have always taken his word on things and stood by his side."
During a July 2000 Eminem concert, the rapper performed 'Kim', a song about hurting her. On stage, he also hit a blowup doll resembling Kim. This affected her a lot - after returning home, she attempted to take her life. In 2007, she recalled the incident for Dr Keith Ablow, "Seeing the crowd’s response and everybody cheering, singing the words and laughing, and it just felt like everyone was staring at me. I knew that it was about me."
