The tense scene outside a suburban Michigan home unfolded in dramatic body-cam footage this month, as emergency crews loaded Kim Scott onto a stretcher amid shouted obscenities and frantic exchanges. The woman, once married to rapper Eminem, was the focus of a police response after a relative called 911 about a self-harm incident. The footage and police reports paint a chaotic picture of a medical emergency that quickly escalated into an arrest.
Body-cam captures heated exchange during rescue
Video released to media outlets shows multiple officers and paramedics surrounding Scott on a front lawn. She repeatedly yelled at officials and at least one person still inside the home. When officers asked her to lie down on the stretcher, she responded with profane insults.

- At least five officers and paramedics are visible in the footage.
- Scott verbally confronted responders and others at the scene.
- One officer later documented a bite mark after an interaction with Scott.
The raw audio and images reflect a fraught interaction between first responders trying to secure medical care and a woman in obvious distress. The video shows both medical aid and a law-enforcement response happening simultaneously.
How police say the situation escalated
Officials describe Scott as “irate and combative,” a characterization that led to the use of a taser before she was taken into custody. According to the police report, officers charged her with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
Reported actions and charges
- Use of a taser during the encounter.
- Arrest for assault on an officer.
- Resisting arrest cited in the report.
Officers photographed the alleged injury to the officer who claimed she was bitten. The footage shows officers discussing charging procedures while Scott is being treated and moved to an ambulance.
911 call and emergency medical response
Police were dispatched after a relative called 911 reporting a wrist injury. Dispatch audio released to the press described a caller who said a knife had been involved and that Scott had been found bleeding.
- The caller told dispatch the knife was removed.
- Responders arrived to find Scott conscious but combative.
- She was transported to McLaren Macomb Hospital in Mount Clemens.
Medical personnel and law enforcement coordinated at the scene to balance immediate care with public-safety concerns.
Past struggles and recent legal troubles
Scott has a documented history of mental health crises and prior suicide attempts. She has also faced several run-ins with the law in recent months related to driving offenses.
- Multiple previous suicide attempts reported.
- A recent DUI arrest at Macomb County Jail.
- A warrant issued after a missed court appearance for a DUI hearing.
Those incidents, officials and public records show, have contributed to heightened concern among family and authorities when the latest emergency call came in.
Family ties and public profile
Kim Scott, previously known as Kim Mathers, was married to Marshall Mathers, the rapper Eminem. The couple first married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. They briefly reconciled and remarried in early 2006 before finalizing a second divorce later that year.
Her connection to a high-profile figure has kept media attention on her legal and personal struggles over the years. The recent body-cam release adds a new chapter to a long, public history of challenges.
