Eminem’s Ex-Wife Kim Mathers Loses Bid To Drop Court-Ordered Rehab

Kim Mathers, Eminem’s ex-wife, lost a bid to leave jail without returning to court-ordered rehab at a Michigan hearing on October 14.

Judge William H. Hackel III denied her lawyer Camilla Barkovic’s request to restore bond terms a magistrate had approved, WDIV reported.

Under those terms, Mathers could leave jail without going back to treatment. She appeared by Zoom before the 42-2 District Court in New Baltimore.

When Barkovic asked whether Mathers could still leave jail for inpatient care, Hackel confirmed that she could. That option had already been part of his bond terms before Wednesday’s hearing.

Hackel gave Barkovic more time to file multiple motions on her client’s behalf and agreed to delay the probable cause conference.

AllHipHop previously reported that Hackel sent Mathers back to Macomb County Jail on October 7 after a dispute over her departure from treatment.

The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office traced the October 7 dispute to Mathers’ August 26 exit from Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center. It said warrants followed her departure from the center, where Hackel had ordered her to get care.

On October 2, Mathers appeared before Magistrate Genevieve L. Taylor, who canceled the warrants and set a $5,000 bond with house arrest, prosecutors said. Hackel ruled five days later that the magistrate lacked authority to change his order, and returned Mathers to jail.

The fight over her bond involves three cases. Prosecutors said Mathers pleaded no contest on May 11 to impaired driving and failure to report an accident. Those misdemeanor counts carry maximum jail terms of 93 days and 90 days, respectively.

Police told CBS Detroit that she hit a parked car in Chesterfield on May 13; no one was hurt. Prosecutors charged her with third-offense drunk driving, a felony that carries up to five years in prison.

The state also brought two felony counts for an alleged clash with police on July 11. One count says she hurt an officer; the other involves assaulting, resisting or obstructing police. The two counts carry up to four years and two years in prison.

Hackel told the court, “the bond stays as is.”
