How Kim Scott Met Emimen?

Kim Scott first met Eminem when she was 13 and he was 15 at a house party. Eminem later recalled a funny moment where he was standing on a coffee table, pretending to rap LL Cool J's "I'm Bad," when he noticed Kim at the door smoking.

Not long after they met, they started dating on and off. Eminem brought Kim to his mother, Debbie Nelson's house, asking for her to stay there. Debbie welcomed Kim, thinking she was 15 years old, although she was actually younger. Debbie described Kim as cute and mature-looking, which made her believe Kim was older than she was.

Eventually, Kim's true age came to light when truant officers questioned her about her frequent absences from school. Debbie saw Kim as someone she could help and hoped to give her a better life.
