Kim Scott’s got a warrant out for her arrest after ghosting her DUI court hearing in Michigan on Wednesday morning.
Eminem has been sober for eighteen years, while his ex-wife, Kim Scott, faces a warrant for skipping her DUI court hearing in Michigan.
On Wednesday morning, June 24, 2026, Scott failed to appear before Judge William H. Hackel III at Macomb County District Court, and authorities immediately issued a bench warrant for her arrest with a bond set at $10,000, according to Page Six.
The situation represents the latest chapter in a troubling pattern that began in February 2026. Scott crashed her Range Rover into a parked vehicle while her son Parker and his friends were inside the car.
Police discovered Crown Royal bottles in her vehicle, and she tested at nearly three times the legal limit. Rather than stopping after that incident, she drove home and smashed into her own garage door.
On May 11, 2026, she pleaded no contest to impaired driving and failure to report an accident.
Just three days after that plea, Scott was arrested again. On May 14, she hit another vehicle while driving near Detroit, and Detective Sgt. Joseph Feld confirmed she’d struck a car the night before.
No injuries were reported, but the pattern was undeniable. She was booked and released, only to miss her June 24 hearing entirely.
In Michigan, failure to appear carries serious consequences, including a separate misdemeanor charge, additional fines, and potential jail time in addition to her original DUI penalties.
The contrast with Eminem couldn’t be starker. On April 20, 2026, the rapper celebrated 18 years of sobriety by posting a photo of his recovery chip marked “XVIII.”
He got clean on April 20, 2008, and has maintained his recovery, chronicled on his albums Relapse and Recovery, which documented his addiction and comeback.
While Eminem built a legacy of staying sober, his ex-wife continues battling substance abuse issues that keep landing her in court.
Michigan law provides no statute of limitations for failure-to-appear violations, meaning Scott must either voluntarily surrender or face arrest whenever law enforcement locates her.
