Star magazine spoke with Eminem’s grandmother Betty Kresin after complaints in the press from Sarah Mathers, who says she is the rapper’s half-sister and Eminem refuses to meet her.

“I don’t blame Marshall for being skeptical of these Johnny-come-latelies,” Betty Kresin said. “They twist it to make it seem like Marshall is the bad guy for not wanting to establish relationships with them, but why should he right?”

Betty Kresin added, “Now that he’s a multimillionaire, everyone who has any sort of family connection wants a piece of him.”
