If you’re a long-time Eminem fan, you’re probably aware of his troubled ex-wife, Kim Mathers.
Im and Kim’s tumultuous relationship inspired many of his early songs, but the story seemed to come to an unexpectedly happy ending when he got sober, and the two worked to form an amicable co-parenting relationship.
But Kim has now had two major run-ins with the law in the past three months, so her problems clearly didn’t subside when her ex backed out.
According to a new report from TMZ, Kim was arrested and booked on suspected DUI charges at the Macomb County Jail in Mount Clemens, Michigan earlier this week.
Kim allegedly hit another car while driving in the 21 Mile Zone near Detroit at around 9:20pm on Wednesday.
The arrest came just two days after Kim pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors related to an earlier crash.
Unfortunately, Kim has a history of driving drunk.
Mathers attempted suicide on multiple occasions, and at least one of those attempts involved getting behind the wheel while intoxicated.
It does not appear that Kim was trying to harm herself or anyone else on this occasion.
Kim was already facing charges of impaired driving and failure to report an accident from her previous crash.
Police say Kim took off after crashing into a parked car on her street while she was taking her son, Parker, and his friends shopping.
She allegedly ran home and crashed into her garage door upon arriving. Video from the arrest shows Kim taking a breathalyzer, and cops say they found soda bottles filled with liquor in her car.
She is scheduled to be sentenced in June. TMZ reported that Kim was released after her latest arrest.
Kim and Eminem were married from 1999 to 2001. They remarried briefly in 2006 before divorcing for good.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
