Eminem’s Ex-Wife Kim Scott Charged With DUI After Range Rover Hits Parked Car, Then Her Own Garage

Kim Scott, Eminem’s ex-wife, is facing two misdemeanor charges in Michigan after authorities say she crashed her Range Rover twice in one drive, with her son and three of his friends riding along, before the SUV came to rest against her own garage door.

What Authorities Say Happened

According to court records, Scott left her home around 8 p.m. Monday with her son, Parker, and three of his friends to run a shopping errand. Investigators say her Range Rover struck a parked car on the street in her residential neighborhood. Officials say she didn’t stop, continuing on toward home before the SUV struck her own garage door while she was pulling into the driveway. A neighbor who witnessed the crashes called police.

Court records show Scott has been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and with failure to stop or identify after causing property damage. Both are misdemeanors under Michigan law, though a DUI conviction with passengers under 16 in the vehicle can carry enhanced penalties in some jurisdictions depending on how prosecutors ultimately charge the case.

Where the Legal Process Stands

When officers responded to the scene, Scott was taken to a hospital for treatment and released early Tuesday morning. Her attorney has stated that she has not been arrested and that he is not aware of any active warrant, adding that she will surrender to authorities if one is issued. As of now, no court date has been announced, and the case remains pending, meaning the specifics of what led to the crash and any final charges are still subject to change as the investigation continues.

Background

Scott and Eminem married in 1999, divorced in 2001, briefly remarried in 2006, and separated again shortly after. They share one daughter. Parker, who was in the vehicle at the time of the crash, is Scott’s son.

It’s worth noting that Scott has not been convicted of any crime at this stage, and the charges reflect allegations from authorities rather than a finalized legal outcome.

Shawn Henry has spent years writing about cars, and it shows—not in a resume kind of way, but in how he talks about them. He's the type who'll notice the weird trim option nobody remembers and actually know why it mattered. At Backfire News, he covers pretty much the whole spectrum: off-road trucks and trail builds, performance cars, racing, and the collector market. He's comfortable getting into the technical weeds, but he never forgets that most people read about cars because cars are fun, not because they want a spec sheet. His beat runs from classic and collector vehicles to overlanding culture, modified performance builds, new automotive tech, and the industry news that actually affects what ends up in your driveway. Mostly, though, Shawn thinks the best car stories are about people—the builds they pour money into, the road trips, the communities that form around a shared obsession. That's the stuff he likes writing about, and it's what you'll find in his work here.
