Eminem and ex-wife Kim Mathers have made a formal agreement to not publicly criticise one another for the sake of their eleven year old daughter Hailie. Appearing in court yesterday, the pair agreed that exchanging insults via the media would eventually have an adverse effect on the little girl. Eminem was not present at the hearing but addressed the court by telephone.
The case came about after Eminem filed a motion earlier this month to the Macomb County Circuit Court to prevent his ex making public comments about him. This was probably in response to Kim's February appearance on ABC's 20/20 show, on which she accused the rap star of still being addicted to drugs and neglecting his child. Two weeks later, she gave a radio interview and claimed that her ex-husband was abusive and incapable of loving women.
On the agreement, Eminem's lawyer Harvey Hauer said: "We're happy the court was able to bring this matter to a just and equitable resolution".
