Kesia Álvarez talks about what it was like to have a short romance with Eminem.

Kesia was by Eminem’s side during tours of the United States, Britain and Europe and even stayed with him when and married his wife Kim in 1999, in a marriage that lasted less than a year.

Kesia, a Florida manicurist, met the singer when he was signing autographs in Miami Beach in March 1999.

“I really didn’t know about his music and I certainly didn’t like it at the time,” she says. “But, to laugh, I grabbed a pencil, a piece of paper and asked for his autograph.

“When we faced each other, it was like, ‘Wow!’ We both felt it. We were looking at each other. Then he asked me if I wanted to go to his show that night. He was very sweet and flirtatious. A very charming way about him.

That night they slept together for the first time. “I was nervous. I was the one who had to take control. It was very disappointing.”

“As soon as we started, it was all over. He didn’t even know what happened. All he did was apologize over and over. He was a good kisser though.”

During her relationship, Kesia used to cut, bleach em’s hair and select his clothes.

“Marshall would call me his Brazilian princess”

“I didn’t care about being Marshall’s lover. I was in love with him and he was in love with me. Despite not being a great lover, he was the most fun man I’ve ever been with. We had a great time.”

But as she spent more time with him, Kesia realized how confused she really was.

“He was really impressed by all the money that came in. It was stressful for him.”

Kesia says that Kim treated eminem badly on a regular basis.

“He would often kick him out of her own house in Detroit and he had to stay in a hotel. He always referred to her as a bitch, he thought she was a vindictive and abusive drug addict.”

“He was a heavy user of ecstasy and cocaine, as well as users of prescription drugs, Zanax and Valium.”

“I don’t think he put on a show when he wasn’t high. He also drinks a lot of Bacardi and while he was with him he started drinking brandy. But he never smoked cigarettes and I only saw him smoke marijuana once.”

Kesia claims that the rapper became more emotional as his alleged drug use increased.

“He and some of his friends were also very into coke. Many nights I had him with his face on my lap, crying, telling me how his family was screwed.”

“One night he asked me if I wanted to try cocaine with him and I went crazy because that’s something I am completely against.”

“About a week later, I walked into his hotel room. There was a plate full of cocaine on the table. It was in a heap, maybe a quarter pound. I turned and slammed the plate across the room.”

“Eminem’s sexual performance was never good”

Kesia also wondered about Eminem’s sexuality, although he never saw any evidence that he was gay.

“He is very homophobic, but I think he protests too much. On tour, I noticed that he was often surrounded by young men who seemed gay to me, especially when we were in Europe, and that he sometimes mysteriously disappeared.”

When they were apart, Eminem would regularly call Kesia, saying that he missed her, loved her, and couldn’t write new songs without her by his side. But Kesia believes the singer’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, and highway manager, Marc Labelle, may have turned him against her because he distracted the star from her job.
Their romance began to unravel in 2000 when Byron’s book came out containing various references to Kesia that made Kim angry.

“By then, he’d had enough, Marshall was a huge star and that had changed him. He had become rude and arrogant. Slim Shady had taken over.”

“At one point in July 2000, I was afraid I was pregnant. I tried to discuss my concerns with Marshall, but he still had more problems with Kim and he refused to talk about it.”

“We had an argument and that was the last time I saw him. Fortunately, my ‘pregnancy’ was a false alarm.”
