Eminem's Mother Is Dying!

12/19/2007 10:36 AM ET | Filed under: Exclusives! • Eminem

Now we know why she's really writing that book!

Sources close to Debbie Nelson, Eminem's mother, reveal to PerezHilton.com that she is writing a book about her famous son because she needs money to pay medical bills.

"She's dying of stage 4 breast cancer," a family insider tells us. "She needs the money to pay medical bills and he wont talk to her so thats her open letter to him."

Adds our source, "Em agreed to try to help her pay some medical bills and try to get her insurance but couldnt because of the pre-existing medical condition."

That's rough.

try to help??? try???

sons that work as dishwashers try to help

this guy is loaded and should show some more respect for his mother

she might not have been the best mother, but when someone has that kind of money they should be paying for their dying mothers bills

should be…not trying to

IF she's dying then why does she care about medical bills? She won't be around when they try to collect, right?

According to his movie about his life, his mom slept with friends he went to school with and he had to fight them to get to sleep at home. He would walk in the door and she would be fucking a guy from his school naked on the couch. She'll lucky, he didn't kill her. My mom would be dead if it was me.

34

What an asshole! He should at least pay for her medical bills. It's not like she's asking for a house! What a prick!!! THIS IS HIS MOTHER. Jay Z's father was abusive to his mother and left when Jay was 12. When's J's father was dying, Jay made sure his last year on earth he was taken care of. Do the right thing. Eminem, she IS your mother!

UM– lets recap - She's dying of cancer. He's got millions. Now he's tried to get her insurance but can't ?? Um- hey asshole– how about putting your childhood grudges to rest and taking care of this like a man. Eminem- such a little bitch!
Lola says – reply to this

37

Re: crotchrocket – Your an asshole. Regardless of anything, she is his mother and she did give him life. He has an issue with his ex, his mother and the world. He's the screwed up one who blames everyone but his damn self. He should kill himself since he's so miserable and unhappy.
that bitch should just die and leave him the hell alone already, wtf says – reply to this

38

why don't she kill herself and stop causing him pain…

Surely he has enough money to pay all the bills?? Serioulsy all these celebrities are fucking wankers.
crotchrocket says – reply to this

Re: Lola –
Listen bitch, you're the asshole. His mother doesn't deserve to be called mother. Just like that Shitney Unfitney, she's not a mother either. Marshall shouldn't kill himself, he's almost free from her and her filth. She should kill herself if she can't pay her own way. I also think that Unfitney's boy's should grow up and kill her. So, fuck you. Not everyone has a loving mother like you.

Blame our crappy health system, not him. He can't get med insur. because of pre-existing condition. It's an insurance thing. She is at the mercy of charity hospitals and Michigan has some of the worse hospitals in the nation. There is no Mayo Clinic there. The best is U of M hospital in Ann arbor, and that's very pricey.

That's too bad, but the book writing fee won't help her either. She just needs to go quietly into a hospice and die.
Old Broad says – reply to this

44

This isn't the first time I've heard about the cancer thing. Hasn't she been dying of this for a few years now? Just sayin'.
Katie says – reply to this

45

He shouldn't give her anything and he shouldn't go to the funeral. Make her have a state funeral, where the state pays for it. Wooden box, that's what she deserves. Unmarked grave.
Sally says – reply to this

46

All the money in the world won't help her if she has stage 4 cancer. She's almost good as dead.
And let's face it, he may not have ALL THAT MUCH MONEY. He lives in Michigan which is low-cost, compared to Hollywood. If he was making a lot of money he would be living in NYC or Hwd. He probably doesn't have a lot of money after all the legal stuff he's been through.
And it's too bad. But people should not blame him for not supporting her. They had a dysfunctional family. He doesn't owe her anything as a son, and he's trying the best he can. But his hands are tied.

I heard she raped him while he was growing up. That's why she started calling him her little wabbit. I hate that cunt and I hope it's not true,but she stay on perscription drugs constantly and drank, so whatever.
You people suck says – reply to this

51

Just wait till most of you idiots on this website get older and have kids and see what it's like to raise kids. You can't blame his mother for everything. She was a single mom. I think Em's a douche. Be nice to your mom Em.. she brought you into this world you asshole… help her out she's dying… ever heard of "Honor your parents?? dickhead

Shame on him! I will never listen to his stupid music. He sucks as a person.
Katherine says – reply to this

54

No matter what's gone before, she's his mother and she's unwell, he should help her out as much as he can afford to (and I expect that's a lot.) A very unfortunate situation and yeah karma's a bitch, but I always think its best to forgive and forget while you can (e.g. before its too late.)
amplebooty says – reply to this

55

INSURANCE SUCKS. I have been denied for a pre-existing condition - but there's legal way around it. Start an LLC and claim yourself and one other person as co-chairs. Make sure you're on record for it - file with the state - and in 3 months you can have a group plan (all you need is 2 or more people). The &*^%& insurance companies cannot deny a group plan, regardless of your pre-existing condition. You can get the coverage you need and they can go ^%&*$ themselves!!!!
CrazyAzz says – reply to this

56

GOOD. If the douchebag known as Eminem won't pay his mothers medical bills being he probably IS a millionare, then he deserves to have shit written about him. What a fucking cocksucker…. He makes enough money to PAY he bills WITHOUT insurance…. fuck this lowlife!
hilarie says – reply to this

57

This has always been my opinion on Eminem. Oh, he head it so rough. I live in the south. Do you know how many people grow up with a single Mom in a trailer addicted to prescription drugs? Regardless she's dying of cancer. He can afford to pay all her medical bills. My father died of cancer, and my mother had breast cancer. So he runs around wearing all this bling , living in a mansion, and he can only help her with some of her medical bills. Typical Hollywood, self - absorbed, narcissistic behavior.

maybe he's not as rich as we might think. after all, he WAS dr. dre's bitch.
Joni says – reply to this

61

I guess the rich only deserve to live. Why should anyone have to choose between life and paying monsterous medical bills? It should be covered in the taxes, fairly and evenly. Other countries do it. Why not the almighty U.S. of A? Cudos to "Sicko" Michael Moore for fighting an uphill battle in trying to change that broken down, corrupt, capitalist system.

But is she really even sick? Wasn't one of her issues that she used to make up medical conditions for attention?
whatevs says – reply to this

64

eminem tried to help her but cannot, it isn't his fault. i don't see how this book is going to help her, she has been trying for 8 years to make money off eminem even before she had 'cancer' and she is still broke. maybe if she wasn't an abusive parent or actually admitted to the abuse (as it is even stated in court documents) karma wouldn't be biting her in the ass right now.
linda from NC says – reply to this

65

people, we are supposed to love and care and honor our mom and dads and help them no matter what. this is a lesson to society to help love honor our parents. that rapper and his family? who cares if its true or not. his music is nuts anyways.
linda from NC says – reply to this

66

we only have so long with our parents. lets all pray for his mother to be well and live well. the energy we put out comes back to us. love, peace, and honor our parents no matter what.
runner says – reply to this

67

Eminem's net worth is estimated over 50 mil & he owns shady records. He could pay the bills, no problemo. There's probably more to the story cuz the mother has always been loony and screwed him up good.

Can't deny people insurance for pre-existing anymore ~ Federal law.

Jasper says – reply to this

72

She couldn't get medical insurance because of a pre-existing condition?

That is the lamest excuse EVER!!! She doesn't NEED insurance if her son is willing to pay her bills. Even if her cancer treatment cost five million bucks, Eminem could obviously afford to pay. Hospitals LIKE it when people pay cash instead of insurance. If this story is true, eminem is the worst human being EVER. This woman gave him life. What a worthless piece of shit.
Yah Its me says – reply to this

Oh give me a break! I know she was a douche bad mom, but since when did Eminem not have enough money to help his mom pay medical bills? Get over it! Youre grown! Thatll be a mark against you at judgement day!

Re: kyle –

No, she's fucked up. She should just kill herself. I can't to stand to look at the barfly. Tell her to go get one of her boyfriend's to pay for her bills. She sure did fuck enough of them.

My prayers are with her. Why isn't he paying her medical bills? I don't give a shit if he hates her, he should swallow his pride and help her. What a douche bag!

I'm sure Em has the $$$…The tree works like this……Dr. Dre brings in EM so Dre gets paid off of EM……EM brings in Fifty Cent(we all know how much 50 is making) so Dre and EM get paid from 50……..50 brings in G-unit …so Dre-EM-50-G-unit gettin paid in that order!! That adds up to alot of effin bread yo!! Who know why EM won't make peace with his mom.. Maybe she did some shit that cant' be forgivin. But if he doesn't make peace in some way he may regret and then he will really need therapy.

What!!!!! Why would Eminem need to get her insurance. He should have the cash to take care of her. Who cares about their past, she is still his mother and he needs to help her. She may have been a shitty mom to him, or not who knows, but it sure seems like he turned out to be pretty successful. Bad mom or not, she still had something to do with that. Help your mom EM!!!!!!!!

Eminem should read TOXIC PARENTS and so should his mom. Save your money on therapy. Do the work yourself…..read this book. Anyone with this level of dysfunction.

As for medical bills. A vote for the democratic party is a vote for free healthcare for all. THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

Eminem probably votes republican ……maybe now he will change his mind

woww..thats messed. No matter what your mom did to you when you were younger, you grow up & forgive them they're your MOTHER. He had to "agree" to pay for her medical bills, he should've already had it all taken care of its not like he doesn't have the money. What scum
BobtheBuilder says – reply to this

86

and to the idiotic first comment, she doesn't need to dish dirt on him. DO YOU KNOW WHO EMINMEN IS. He has talked so much smack about his mom, so its not like shes going behind his back and talking about him. Shes trying to let everyone know that she wasn't as bad as crazy eminem says she was.

Re: BobtheBuilder –

do you know the last time eminem talked 'smack' about his mother was over 5 years ago. but his mother has continued to talk 'smack' about him throughout his entire career with tv interviews, talk shows, mag interviews, suing him, trying to sue his movie, making her own song, selling his stuff on ebay, doing dvd's… and the list goes on.
Shanaynay says – reply to this

93

You guys clearly have no idea how much medical bills in a situation like this can cost. They're often so expensive that even someone with Eminem's money would be financially strained without the help of insurance. Why should he bankrupt himself for some woman who's done nothing but treat him like shit (except when she needs something from him). Hell, I don't have insurance and I've never done anything hateful to Eminem. By your logic, he should pay MY medical bills just because he can. As for his mother, karma's a bitch.

you only got one mother… and no one's mum is perfect… *those who are perfect are just as disfunctional*

Eminem - reach out and heal it… your mother worked with what God gave her, lived with what God provided and that's it bro'. It's time to step up and be the better man.

he can't help get insurance? ok i'll buy that

nw says – reply to this

99

why should eminem help her? she was an abusice parent that has been proven in court and has been tryign to make money off her song his entire career. if a father abused or raped their daughter then their daughter grew up to be famous and the father tried to make money of his daughter her entire career then ends up getting cancer; no one would feel sorry for that abuser. but it's all different when it's a mother, it's stupid
