“I never intended to sue my son. The lawsuit was my attempt to hold on to my home,” Debbie told WENN.
It was in late 1999 that Debbie Mathers launched a lawsuit against her son for his slanderous lyrics accusing her of being a drug-addict, lawsuit-crazed and abusive. It was this past year that Eminem really let his feelings known on the song “Cleaning Out My Closet.” After talking an emotional healt-felt thrashing from her son, Debbie apparently wants to clear the air.
“I’d given Marshall my trailer to rent when I moved back to Missouri. But Kim fell behind with the payments. I figured I had to sell it to pay the debt, but she wouldn’t let me. She threatened me with a lawyer, so I consulted one myself. Then the whole thing just escalated. The first thing I knew, I swear, was when Marshall rang me and said, ‘Mom, why are you suing me for $10 million?’ I nearly fell over. It was ludicrous. Then word got out and the world saw me as an evil bitch from hell. What mother sues her own son? I was cursed in public, spat at in shopping malls.”
