She also explained that her children have been ‘very supportive’ of her as she focused on her health and stated that she was ‘now on medication.’
Back on July 30, 2021, Kim attempted suicide and was hospitalized after medics responded to a frantic 911 call from her Michigan home, TMZ reported at the time.
Upon arriving to the house, first responders found Mathers to be ‘combative and violent’ and also had ‘several small lacerations on the back of her leg,’ the outlet further reported.
According to a police report, obtained by Page Six at the time, Kim had been found ‘bleeding excessively’ and was on the bathroom floor holding an ‘unidentified object’ in her hands.
The report claimed that she had ‘attempted to strike the responding officer’ and added Mathers appeared to have ‘difficulty speaking, was slurring her speech and later fluctuated in various levels of consciousness.’
A box was also discovered that contained ‘haphazard messages’ that Kim had penned to family members. Also inside was a ‘do not resuscitate’ request that she had also written out.
The Sun reported shortly after the attempt that Kim had ‘left a note’ and begged for the police to not be called.
