Eminem’s Mom Claims Her Son’s a Sham

Debbie “Mominem” Nelson says her son Marshall Mathers 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, obtained by PageSix.com, 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.”

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

Other shocking revelations from the tome? 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).

Still, despite the suffering Em has put his mom through, she doesn’t condemn him. “My son never intended for me to become an object of hatred,” she says in the book.

Reps for Eminem could not be reached for comment.
