Eminem and ex-wife agree to be nice
Eminem and his ex-wife Kim Mathers have agreed not to criticise each other in public for the sake of their daughter.
The decision was made following a court hearing in which the 34-year-old rapper and his ex-wife agreed that insulting each other could prove harmful to their 11-year-old daughter, Hailie.
Eminem filed a motion in a Michigan court earlier this month that sought to prevent Mathers from making "derogatory, disparaging, inflammatory and otherwise negative comments" about him in the media.
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."
"We're happy the court was able to bring this matter to a just and equitable resolution," Eminem's lawyer, Harvey Hauer, said outside the courtroom.
Michael J. Smith, Mathers' attorney, said the decision was reached "for the full benefit of the child."
However, Smith said the order does not prohibit Eminem from performing songs in which he is critical of his former wife.
The couple married in 1999, divorced in 2001, remarried in January 2006 and separated three months later. Their second divorce was finalised in December.
Their daughter, Hailie, was born in 1996.
