Another thing that deeply traumatised him as a youth was the death of his uncle Ronnie, my brother. |

The two were just six weeks apart and were more like brothers, they did everything together. But when they were about 16, Marshall got into rap and Ronnie liked Bon Jovi. They fell out and didn't speak for two years. |

When Ronnie killed himself, Marshall was devastated. |

MARSHALL has accused me of being addicted to prescription pills. Well, back in 1990 I was run over by a drunk driver. I had to eat baby food as I couldn't swallow and during that time I was on medication. It wasn't pill popping and, whatever he says, I brought Marshall up in an alcohol, drug and smoke-free home. [No Affect] He sings about smoking crack and heroin. I honestly don't know what he does now, but he certainly drinks and he has introduced Nathan, who is just 15, to Bacardi. Nathan told me and I am very angry with Marshall for doing that. Nathan looks up to Marshall. It's hard now he is known as Eminem's brother. At one point Nathan wanted to live full-time with Marshall, who threatened to apply for custody. Now the only time Marshall phones it is to speak to Nathan; he doesn't have time for me.
