Eminem’s child Stevie seems to call out the rapper for failing to tell them they were adopted – after coming out as non-binary

Eminem‘s teenaged child Stevie appears to have called out their father for not revealing that they were adopted.

In a TikTok video posted a week ago, Stevie — who came out as non-binary shortly afterward and alternates between they, he and she pronouns — seemed to recount a conversation with the 48-year-old rapper about being adopted.

The clip featured repeated denials that they were adopted, before they learned that their biological father had died last year.

Stevie is the biological child of Eminem’s ex-wife Kim Scott and the late tattoo artist Eric Hartter, whom she was linked to during a period when she had separated from the musician. He died in 2020.

Eminem later adopted them in 2005 after he and Scott reconciled. The couple got married in 2006 but divorced again before the year was over.

Stevie sported short blonde hair and a gray hoodie in the video, which was filmed exclusively in closeup.

He lip synced along to captions that seemed to recount a real-life incident in which someone had informed him that he was adopted.

Investigation: They appeared to recount a conversation in which Eminem falsely claimed to be their biological father after they asked about their birth

‘He’s not your real dad,’ said the unnamed person. ‘You’re adopted.’

Stevie appeared to lip sync a denial, before approaching their adopted father (given name: Marshall Mathers III), though the rapper seemed to have falsely claimed to be their biological father.

‘Youre my real dad right? am i adopted [sic]?’ they recounted asking.

‘I am your real dad,’ the father figure allegedly replied.

Then Stevie claimed they were ‘sent an article of my biological dads death [sic],’ which they showed to their grandmother.

‘im sorry they wouldn’t tell you about him,’ Stevie recounted her grandmother saying.

They concluded the video by lip syncing the line ‘That must be so confusing for a little girl’ from the Adventure Time song Remember Me, which soundtracked the video.

Too late: Stevie appeared to get confirmation that they were adopted after their biological father died, meaning they would never get a chance to speak with him

Shortly after posting the video about their adoption, Stevie shared a TikTok video announcing that they were genderfluid. 

The teenager asked fans to ‘call me Stevie (they/she/he)’.

In a video posted on the social media site, Stevie shows their journey to being open about being genderfluid — a term for people who find that their connection to any particular gender can change over time, sometimes rapidly.

Audio of the teenager crying with joy is played at the start of the video before a montage of photos is shown to document their transformation over the years.

The video begins with snaps of Eminem’s child being known as Whitney with ‘she/ her pronouns’ captioned before transitioning into photos alongside the pronouns ‘they/ her’ 19 seconds in.

Cutting their blonde hair short and sporting a nose piercing, Stevie then poignantly reveals their name alongside the caption ‘all pronouns’.

Stevie wrote: ‘Watch me become more comfortable with myself’ and ‘forever growing and changing’, and has used the hashtags ‘#genderfluid and #bi and in several posts.

He also previously used the hashtag ‘#nonbinary,’ but it appeared to have been deleted later.

The post was liked by their sister Hailie Jade, 25, who is Eminem’s biological daughter with Kim.

According to The Sun, the teenager’s new name was referenced in their grandmother Kathleen Sluck’s obituary last month.

It read: ‘Kathleen was a exceptional mom to her two daughters; Kim and Dawn; and was overjoyed to become a grandmother to her grandchildren; Alaina, Adam, Hailie, Stevie, P.J., and Parker.’

Stevie came out as bisexual in 2017, and at the time their Instagram bio requested to be referred by the pronouns she/ they.

The teenager said in a now deleted post: ‘Happy national coming out day!’ I am bisexual???? I would like to say you’re perfect the way you are and that love is love!?????????? be yourself!’

Stevie’s biological father is Eric Hartter, a tattoo artist, who died of a suspected drug overdose in 2019, after a history of substance abuse and brush ins with the law.

Kim had Stevie six months after her divorce from the rapper in 2001. Eminem was already father to Hailie at the time.

Eminem adopted Stevie in 2005, after reconciling with his ex-wife Kim and previously spoke about how he wanted to provide a stable environment for his child.

The Slim Shady hitmaker also has an adopted daughter Alaina, 28, whose mother is Kim’s late twin sister Dawn. Dawn died of a drug overdose in 2016.

The musician has shielded his children from the spotlight but shared a rare insight into being a father in a Rolling Stones Interview in 2004, where he also spoke about Kim’s history with substance abuse.

‘You can never let a child feel like it’s her fault for what’s goin’ on,’ he said.

‘You just gotta let her know: “Mom has a problem, she’s sick, and it’s not because she doesn’t love you. She loves you, but she’s sick right now, and until she gets better, you’ve got Daddy. And I’m here”.’

Kim was hospitalised following a suicide attempt on July 30, reports TMZ.

It was claimed Kim was taken to hospital to undergo a medical and psychological evaluation, but is now at home recovering.

The ex-wife of the rapper was grieving the death of her mother and penned a heartbreaking tribute saying she wished she’d died instead of her – four days before she ‘attempted to take her own life’.

Heartfelt:  The family have been devastated by the loss of Kim’s mother Kathy Sluck who passed away last month, here is Kim’s tribute

Her mother Kathy Sluck passed away on July 23 at the age of 65 and her funeral took place in Michigan six days later. It is not known how she died.

Kim and Eminem married in 1999, only to proceed with a nasty divorce two years later during their famously stormy romance.

They remarried in January 2006 but had broken up again by April. Their relationship and Eminem’s rise to global fame inspired his hit movie, 8 Mile.

Eminem and Kim’s volatile relationship is one of rap music folklore – the controversial rapper has frequently taken verbal shots at his on-off lover during his recording career – rapping about killing her, her drug use and infidelity.
