Kimberly Scott, the ex-wife of Eminem, is reportedly facing charges in Michigan after allegedly crashing her car while her son and others were passengers.
Scott, 51, has been hit with two misdemeanor charges, operating a vehicle while intoxicated and failure to stop or identify after causing property damage, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
But Scott’s attorney, Michael Smith, told the publication that she hadn’t been arrested as of Tuesday, and he claimed not to be aware of an active warrant for her arrest.
However, Smith — who reportedly defended his client as ‘a good person, a beautiful human being’ and said the controversy was unfortunate — added that she would turn herself in if a warrant for her arrest is issued.
The publication said that sources with direct knowledge indicated that Scott’s alleged crash occurred around 8 p.m. ET on Monday, February 16.
Scott — who had reportedly gotten sober after battling addiction for years — was said to have departed her home with her teenage son, Parker, who was accompanied by three of his friends in the car.

The group was reportedly going out shopping, but their trip was suddenly interrupted when Scott allegedly crashed into a car that was parked on the street.
According to the publication, sources said Scott didn’t stop the vehicle and instead continued driving, but instead of continuing on the shopping trip, she drove back to her home.
Then Scott allegedly crashed her car a second time as she pulled into her driveway, but failed to stop and slammed into her garage door.
A photo dated from Monday that was obtained by TMZ showed what was allegedly Scott’s white Range Rover after it had crashed into the garage door, which was partially caved in.
The vehicle appeared to have a smashed passenger-side headlight, and the bumper was damaged and partially ripped off the vehicle, though it wasn’t clear which of the alleged crashes may have caused the majority of the damage.
According to the publication, one of Scott’s neighbors, who claimed to have seen the crash, put in a call to police.
After they arrived, Scott was reportedly taken to a hospital for unspecified injuries, then discharged early on Tuesday morning.
Scott’s life was once a magnet for controversy, particularly during her romances with Eminem (real name: Marshall Mathers III), to whom she got married twice.

Scott shares her daughter Hailie Jade Scott, 30, with Eminem. He adopted her child Stevie Laine Scott, who was born between their relationships, in 2002. The rapper also adopted his niece Alaina Marie Scott, 32, the daughter of Kim’s sister Dawn, who died in 2016; pictured in 2007
The two were introduced in 1987 and began dating years later, before tying the knot in 1999.
The marriage was short lived, and the two divorced in 2001, but they later reunited and remarried in 2006, only to split again later that year.
In 1995, Scott and Eminem welcomed a daughter, 30-year-old Hailie Jade Scott.
Scott later had her son Parker with another partner, and she and her then-boyfriend, Eric Hartter, welcomed their child Stevie Laine Scott in 2002, between her relationships with Eminem.
However, the rapper later adopted Stevie in 2005 after he and Scott reunited. Hartter died in 2019.
Eminem also adopted Alaina Marie Scott, 32, who was the daughter of his ex-wife’s sister Dawn Scott.
He adopted her in the early 2000s, and Kim’s sister — who had battled drug addiction for years — died in 2016.
