    ''I was a bodyguard for Eminem from spring 2000 (right before The Marshall Mathers LP was released) up until about fall of 2004 (right around when Encore was released).

    I can write a book about it. You never would have guessed Eminem was a celebrity. He was exceedingly humble, somewhat awkward and rarely a d-ck to people. He treated all of his staff, ranging from sound engineers to those who prepared food at the studio, very kindly and well. He never used his celebrity status to bully or throw contempt towards others, and actually shied away from it. Eminem's younger half-brother Nate, though, was a different story and used his relationship with Eminem to get him passes everywhere and into a different girl's pants every night.

    Also, Eminem was a serious fan of pistols (always carrying one on him, even after his arrests :O) and was, at certain times, quite a heavy prescription drug user. You fans were the biggest issue. Eminem could barely go anywhere and concerts, tours and any public appearances (especially around late 2002 when both The Eminem Show and the film 8 Mile were totally dominating popular culture) were the most chaotic experiences I have ever had.

    I do want to say, it is extremely important to never judge celebrities or make assumptions about them or what they do because they totally can (and many totally do) lose their minds with the exorbitant amount of fame and excess they are exposed to.

    EDIT: I see this has generated quite a bit of attention. Feel free to AMA. Many of you have asked me to tell me stories and off the top of my head, there are hundreds. I spent many, many hours with him and his crew and it was truly an experience that I will forever cherish. I'd be happy to answer more specific questions.''

    Didn't read any of it but I assume anyone who works with Em has to sign a confidentiality agreement so this could be bs
