Debbie Nelson, the mother of rapper Eminem, is being sued, although not by Eminem himself for once.
Neal Alpert and the Rachel Erin Corporation launched a breach of contract suit on Monday (7 Apr) over Nelson's recently published book 'My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem: Setting The Record Straight On My Life As Eminem's Mother'.
The lawsuit claims that Nelson entered into a contract in November 2005 agreeing to let Alpert act as her exclusive agent for various radio, book, TV and motion picture deals, in return for 25% of the gross profits, but that she then developed and wrote 'My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem' without Alpert's knowledge, after entering into an agreement with another agent in July 2006.
According to the lawsuit, the book, initially released in the UK in September 2007 and due for its US release this week, has so far sold more than 100,000 copies, yet neither Alpert nor the Rachel Erin Company have received any commission.
