I recently had the opportunity to read, "Cleaning Out My Closet" by J.R. Watkins! J.R. a.k.a Jennifer "Jenny" Watkins formerly Jennifer Pacheco was childhood friends with Kim Mathers.
JR described Marshall to her readers as a loving and caring father who had to deal with the daily drama of his baby's mama Kim. JR described Kim as a controling spouse, sex addict, bad mother and wife with a severe drug addiction. She spared no remorse to her once friend, "Kimmy," whom she used to refer to as cousins.
JR writes she and Kim became extremely close around Easter of 1999 when Kim suffered a miscarriage. Kim took the miscarriage rather hard and with Marshall on the road on tour, Kim was left alone. Since JR had suffered a miscarriage five years earlier she could relate with Kim. Later when Kim tried to take her own life JR was the first one to be by her side. The girls were inseparable, at one time, but following a trip to Cancuan, Mexico the two would speak on one more occasion before ending their friendship.
This book was "retired" and "extremely" hard to purchase. However, the book can be read online @ http://jrcomc.tripod.com/index.html . Aside from the bad grammar this book is a good read! It provides the reader a "brief" and "rare" look inside the life of The Mathers'.
Yeah I have read bits of the book. I cant believe the way Eminem and Kim's family are the way their parents, brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles and all their children are they are all one messed up family and they all need help. I really dont mean to be rude but you should read the whole book or bits of it if you can then you would know what I mean. Kim has taken so much drugs, she sleeps around a lot, she has had a few abortions and so has dawn her twin sister. All their family swear alot, take drugs, sleep around, get into trouble by the police, have bad cat fights and they all used Marshal has a money bank. Kim really is messed up oh my gosh. But I just really hope that things get better for them all and that they find their way.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Eminem Jenny can't be trusted to tell the truth.
