Why does Eminem HATE his mom?

Eminem's mom Debbie Mathers filed a 10 million dollar defamation lawsuit against her son and you'll never believe the story.

Debbie got pregnant with Eminem when she was only 18 and raised him as a single mom after his father abandoned him when he was born. Eminem and Debbie were evicted from place to place in Detroit and really struggled financially.

In the song My Mom, Eminem claimed Debbie was addicted to Valim and would put Valim in Eminem's food when he was a child. In the song, Cleanin' Out My Closet, he even claimed Debbie suffers from Münchausen syndrome by proxy - a mental health illness and form of child abuse.

In her lawsuit, Debbie claimed the rapper was lying about his upbringing and slandering her reputation. In order for Debbie to win her case, she would need to prove Eminem's lyrics were false. Truth is an absolute legal defense to claims of defamation.

Debbie could not prove the lyrics were false, which is why her 10 million dollar claim ended up cut down to a $1,600 settlement.

Maybe because hes not lying and she is

“Raised” is a strong word, id say “lived with”

[luisrivera]

A mother is the last person on earth that you would expect to betray you, a mother's betrayal is unforgivable.

1 thousand six hundred? That's less then my poor ass makes in a month.

Every time they say Debbie, they show picture of Debbie Gibson instead of Debbie Mathers. 😂😂

She did NOT raise him. She barely kept that boy alive.

[shaunbang]

What’s crazy is, if she just let em be and rekindled her relationship by forgiving and forgetting she woulda walked away with ten times that amount she was suing for

[allygraham]

The children's protective services file on Debbie Mathers showed their involvement in Debbie after she was diagnosed with munchausen syndrome and her medication abuse which led to him being hospiitalised a few times with traces of Benzodiazepines (valium) in his system when he was 5, 7 and 8yrs old so she lost the case but he agreed to pay her legal fees as she didn't have that kind of money, she admitted to it in her book when she didnt make money from the lawsuit.

Wrong settlement was $25.000 and $23, 000 went to her lawyer

[JustunfairSeriously]

Actually, Eminem's mother ended up getting 25, 000 dollars after sueing him, but she ended up having to pay her lawyer. And after she payed him, she was left with just 1, 600.😂

This case is a matter of he said-she said I think... But, if you want to look for hard evidence & what kind of woman she is, just look at Nathan. Em's little brother. Different from Em, Nathan's case are recorded by child service. How Nathan jump from 1 foster care to another. How Em is the only family member that allowed by court to see his brother in foster care. How Em going to family court multiple times to try to gain legal custody of him. And Em finally did it... He brought Nathan home, raised him along with his own kids into adulthood. Now Nathan living a good live. He is a very good man/husband/father. All thanks to his 'dad' aka Marshall Mathers (hailey's podcast)

Good job Eminem, i don't know u but i have taken psychology classes so i can relate. Some parents know they have wronged their children but want Respect in spite of.

[karastephenson]

As A Mother she should let him live his Truth

[mOoSHrooMs_R_CooL]

As someone who had a neglectful mom as soon as the authorities get involved there will be a switch up in her personality

[rhymes]

She must have won a dollar for every pill that he been stealing.

Marshall (if you didn’t know) actually forgave debbie for all the abuse he suffered while being raised by her in the song ”headlights” in the marshall mathers LP2 album in 2013

[cjr]

Well this gets a dislike, considering hes forgave her over 10 years ago and wrote a song telling her how much he does love her. (Headlights) he has even come out in interviews to say he never thanked her enough and that he was angry because she kicked him out. He even says in the song headlights that he loves and thanks her for being a mom and a dad, that he blames everything on his deadbeat dad.
