Eminem Accused of Being Fake by His Mom

Debbie Nelson says her son Marshall Mathers (Eminem) isn’t who he claims to be. In a tell-all book, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem, Nelson alleges Em made up his whole hard-knock childhood in order to succeed in rap. In the book’s introduction, Nelson "writes" (through ghost-scribe and top British author Annette Witheridge):

"After his first album, Infinite, flopped, he reinvented himself as white trailer trash with a crazy welfare mom. I was shocked when I first heard the lyrics… but he constantly reassured me it was all a big joke… I went along with it for Marshall’s sake."

Nelson claims that after years of being attacked both verbally and physically by her son’s fans, she is through pretending. "This book is my way of setting the record straight."

"As a child, Em was a shy mama’s boy who was so jealous of his mother’s new man, he wouldn’t let him sleep with her on their wedding night; he beat his mother up up on his 23rd birthday; and was "so strung out," he doesn’t remember 1999 (the year he first married childhood sweetheart Kim).

Nelson then says in her book, "My son never intended for me to become an object of hatred."

That’s called a back handed slap, when you make harsh accusations, but then say they didn’t mean to do it. Debbie Nelson just wants to make money off her famous son. She is acting just as her son described her. Who is going to buy this book anyway?
