Incident Overview
Kim Scott, the ex-wife of rapper Eminem, was reportedly tased and arrested by police after a suicide attempt at her home in Michigan. The incident occurred on Saturday, where Scott was described as “irate and combative” and was only wearing a bra and underwear at the time.
Details of the Altercation
According to a police report, when officers attempted to handcuff her, Scott resisted and bit one of the officers on the forearm. She allegedly yelled at the officers to leave her house, escalating the situation further. After being tased, she reportedly kicked an officer in the shin, leading to her arrest for assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
Emergency Response
Emergency responders were initially called to Scott’s residence after a relative reported that she had cut her wrist. A dispatcher informed that she was bleeding and had a knife in her hand, which she refused to relinquish. By the time officers arrived, Scott was unconscious.
Hospitalization and Previous Incidents
Scott was taken to McLaren Macomb Hospital following the incident. Her current condition has not been disclosed. This is not the first time Scott has faced such challenges; she has attempted suicide on two previous occasions. In 2015, she was involved in a single-vehicle accident that she later admitted was intentional. In 2021, she was hospitalized after another suicide-related incident.
Legal Troubles
