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?

    I know this makes her look like a greedy b!tch but good for her. I personally cant stand people who just rap about others and say hurtful things about often even unknown people. Ok, you bashed Britney Spears and people thought you are cool, good for you. You trash talked your own mother and wife, alright. You even insulted other music artists.. And people still lost interest in you in the end. Go home white boy.

    his entire career was based on trashing his mother, it’s only fair that she return the favor by flipping it on him.
