Kim Mathers Claims that Eminem Pushed Her Towards Attempting Suicide

Rap superstar Eminem's ex-wife is back in the public spotlight. Kim Mathers is going public with her bad relationship with the real life Marshall Mathers (Eminem). Kim is claiming that his treatment of her led to a suicide attempt.

Kim Mathers will be making an appearance on "The Dr. Keith Ablow" show. Mathers is trying to rebound from her second divorce from the rapper. Eminem came to fame through creating songs that had lyrics that were both shocking and offensive. Many of those lyrics bashed his wife at the time, Kim Mathers. When they went through their first divorce, the lyrics became even more hate filled towards her.

During their time together, Kim Mathers decided to visit her husband at one of his concerts. Mathers was shocked to see her husband on stage displaying his hatred for her directly in public. What shocked her even more was the positive response that the audience gave to his tirade about her.

"He was singing a song that was about me and he had a blow-up doll up on stage that looked like me and he was physically beating it and kicking it," says Kim, "Seeing the crowd response and everybody cheering, singing the words and laughing ... I knew that it was about me, and that night I went home and I tried to commit suicide."

The couple has never truly got along for a long period of time. Their relationship can be best described as a hate filled marriage. Many thought that it was best the pair divorced in 2000. The constant fighting and arguing was bringing negative attention to both of them. She shocked the world though by remarrying Eminem once again in January 2006. That marriage obviously did not work out and they divorced once again.
