A warrant has been issued for Kim Scott, former wife of rapper Eminem, after she failed to appear at a scheduled court hearing related to a DUI charge. Scott, who was expected in front of Judge William H. Hackel III at Macomb County District Court in Michigan on June 24, did not attend the hearing, prompting the court to issue the warrant. As of June 25, authorities had not taken her into custody. Her bond is set at $10,000.
Scott, 51, was arrested on May 14 on suspicion of driving under the influence following an incident in which she reportedly collided with another vehicle near Detroit, according to Detective Sgt. Joseph Feld of the Chesterfield Township Police Department. Details about her condition or any further charges have not been disclosed.
Kim Scott, formerly known as Kim Mathers, has a long-standing connection to the music star. She and Eminem married in 1999 but divorced two years later. The couple remarried briefly in 2006 before Eminem filed for divorce three months afterward. They share one biological daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, who is 30 years old. Additionally, Eminem has adopted Scott's niece and another of her children from a previous relationship.
The court proceedings and the outstanding warrant highlight ongoing legal challenges for Scott, though no additional information has been released regarding her current status or potential future court dates. Authorities have not confirmed whether any efforts are underway to locate and detain her.
