Eminem's battle

Eminem has spoken out against his soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Mathers after she appeared on a radio show to talk about their divorce. Mathers told the radio show she hadn't known of her husband's plans to file for divorce and blamed their split on his alleged prescription drug addiction. "He's having problems with his problem that he had, I was hoping we could get counselling and work it out, you know?" Mathers alleged. "Right after he came home from his rehab, we started to have a few problems, and I thought it was going to be in our best interest to delay the wedding, but he really pushed it and I thought it was really going to be something that worked this time. I don't really necessarily want to get divorced. I was hoping he was going to come home and say, 'I got us a counsellor, let's go.' But you know, it didn't work out that way. I got an attorney at the door instead." Eminem issued an immediate response via his publicist that said, "The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family. However, a few of Kim's statements in a radio interview this morning need to be addressed. First, her allegations regarding my status post-rehab are both untrue and unfortunate. Second, she was aware that I was filing for divorce. We both tried to give our marriage another chance and quickly realized that a wedding doesn't fix the underlying problems."
