On-again, off-again couple Eminem and Kim Mathers agreed Monday not to criticize each other in public for the sake of their daughter. The 34-year-old superstar rapper and his ex-wife agreed in a court hearing that insulting each other through the media could be harmful to 11-year-old Hailie.
Eminem filed a motion in Macomb County Circuit Court earlier this month that sought to prevent Mathers from making "derogatory, disparaging, inflammatory and otherwise negative comments" about him.
Mathers, who has twice married and divorced the rapper, blasted Eminem in recent TV and radio interviews, including one on a Detroit radio station in which she said he was unfaithful and uncaring -- and disparaged his sexual prowess.
She attended the hearing and a closed-door meeting beforehand in the chambers of Friend of the Court Referee David Elias. Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, wasn't in court, but spoke by telephone in Elias' chambers.
