Rapper Eminem’s ex-wife, Kim, was rushed to hospital after reportedly attempting to take her own life.

Eminem’s ex-wife Kim Scott was taken to hospital following a suicide attempt, it has been reported.

Police rushed to 46-year-old Scott’s home in Michigan on July 30 after receiving reports of a suicidal person, TMZ has claimed.

The US Sun reports that Scott was allegedly combative when the police arrived and restrained by deputies.

Paramedics were unable to check her vitals, the outlet reported.

She was rushed to hospital for both medical and psychological evaluation, before returning home for recovery.

Scott and rap superstar Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers III – share biological daughter Hailie Jade, 25.

Eminem also adopted Scott’s daughter Whitney, 18, from a previous relationship, and Scott’s late sister Dawn’s daughter Alaina, 28.

Scott and Eminem, 48, married in 1999 and divorced two years later. They remarried in January 2006 but had broken up again by April.

They first met in 1989 when she was 13 and running away from home with her sister Dawn.

The Scott sisters moved into a then 15-year-old Eminem’s home at his mum’s trailer park and Kim and Eminem became teenage sweethearts.

Their volatile relationship was touched on in Eminem’s hit movie 8 Mile.

Eminem has repeatedly sung nasty lyrics about Scott, including rapping that he wanted to kill her and put her in the boot of his cra.

However, he offered and apology of sorts on the 2017 song Bad Husband, saying “I’m sorry, Kim. More than you could ever comprehend. Leaving you was f***ing harder than sawing off a f***ing body limb

Scott previously attempted suicide in October 2015.

She said at the time: “I never expected to make it out of that alive. I apologised immensely.

“I did not even expect to make it through that, and I told [police] that I tried to do this on purpose.”

Scott said Eminem helped her afterwards, explaining: “He’s been real supportive. We’re really close.

“We’re just trying to raise our kids together and make it as normal for them as possible.”

Scott has been arrested multiple times for drug possession over the years.

Her sister had a history of drug abuse and died of a heroin overdose in 2016.

Eminem has written several songs about their daughter Hailie and last year talked about how “proud” he is of her.

“Hailie is 23, no babies, she has a boyfriend, but she’s doing good,” he said on Mike Tyson’s Hot Boxin podcast.

“She’s made me proud for sure. She’s graduated from college.”
