Kim Scott body cam footage obtained by TMZ shows a tense emergency response at her Michigan home after a reported suicide attempt, with Eminem's ex-wife yelling at police and paramedics as they placed her on a gurney and moved her toward an ambulance.
TMZ reported that the video comes from the police response at Scott's home. The outlet said she appeared angry as first responders strapped her down and took her outside.
What does the Kim Scott body cam video show?
According to TMZ, the footage shows Scott shouting at officers and medical workers while they move her from the house to the ambulance. In one portion, she directs insults at a man inside the home who later walks outside as responders continue working around her.
TMZ said a second body-camera angle shows the same scene from closer range, with Scott continuing to yell as she is wheeled toward the ambulance.
About a minute into one clip, according to TMZ, an officer shows other responders what the outlet described as an apparent bite mark allegedly left by Scott. Officers later photographed the marks as evidence, TMZ reported.
The officer was taken to a hospital because of the alleged bite and exposure to Scott's blood, according to TMZ. Scott was arrested on allegations of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest, the outlet reported.
What did police say happened on July 11?
TMZ previously reported that police said they found Scott in the basement of her home on July 11 and described her as "irate and combative." Police said she was wearing only a bra and underwear when responders encountered her, according to TMZ.
Police alleged Scott resisted being handcuffed, bit an officer on the forearm and kicked another officer in the shin while being escorted out of a room. TMZ reported that officers then used a Taser on her.
TMZ also reported it obtained a 911 call from Scott's home. In dispatch audio credited by the outlet to Broadcastify.com, a dispatcher tells first responders they are being sent to an address in Chesterfield for a "suicide attempt."
Has Kim Scott responded?
TMZ did not report a public response from Scott to the body-camera footage or to the police allegations. The allegations tied to the arrest have not been adjudicated in the information reported by TMZ.
Scott, also known as Kim Mathers, has long been publicly known through her past marriage to Eminem. The latest report centers on the emergency response and the police allegations from the July 11 incident.
