Eminem’s Ex-Wife Tased During Arrest, Faces Seven Years In Prison For Biting Officer

Kim Scott’s legal crisis deepens as she faces multiple felony charges including assaulting a police officer during a mental health emergency.

Eminem faces a family crisis that extends far beyond the music industry as his ex-wife, Kim Scott, finds herself in serious legal jeopardy following a July 11 incident at her Michigan home.

What started as a mental health emergency has spiraled into multiple criminal charges that could land her behind bars for years.

Police responded to Scott’s residence after receiving a call about a suicide attempt, but the situation escalated dramatically when officers arrived.

Scott was found in her basement, partially clothed and became increasingly hostile toward the responders who were trying to help her.

According to reports from TMZ, she screamed profanities at officers and resisted their attempts to place her in handcuffs.

During the struggle, she bit an officer’s forearm hard enough to draw blood, then kicked another officer in the shin while being escorted from the room.

Officers deployed a taser to subdue her, and one was hospitalized due to the bite and blood exposure.

The assault charges are just the latest in a troubling pattern of legal problems for Scott.

In May 2026, she was arrested for DUI after hitting a parked car near Detroit with her son and his friends inside the vehicle. Instead of stopping, she drove home and crashed into her own garage door.

Her blood alcohol level registered at .204, nearly three times Michigan’s legal limit.

Just three days before that arrest, she’d appeared in court and pleaded no contest to impaired driving charges stemming from a February incident.

The situation worsened when Scott failed to appear for a June court hearing on her DUI case, prompting a judge to issue a $10,000 bench warrant.

She’s now facing potential prison time that could total up to seven years when combining the assault charge (up to two years), the DUI convictions (up to five years), and the failure to appear charge.

Her legal history includes a 2015 case that resulted in probation and fines, but nothing approaching the severity of her current predicament.

The contrast with her ex-husband couldn’t be starker. Eminem has maintained nearly two decades of sobriety after battling a devastating addiction to prescription medications that nearly killed him.

He was consuming up to 20 pills daily before overdosing in 2007 and spending time in rehab.

Since achieving full sobriety in April 2008, he’s become a symbol of recovery and resilience in Hip-Hop, proving that addiction doesn’t have to define your future.
