's troubled ex-wife Kimberly Mathers has been arrested again - just two days after appearing in court following a shock DUI crash.

Mathers, 51, was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly hitting a parked car in the 21 Mile Zone near Detroit around 9:20pm, Chesterfield Township PD Detective Sergeant Joseph Feld Scott confirmed to TMZ.

Police took Mathers into custody and booked her on a suspected DUI charge  at Macomb County Jail in Mt. Clemens, early Thursday morning.

No injuries were reported and it is not known where Mathers was travelling to or coming from.

The Daily Mail has contacted the Chesterfield Township PD for comment.

The latest arrest comes after Mathers pleaded no contest on Monday in court in connection with an incident on February 16. She was accused of smashing her white Range Rover into a parked Dodge Ram.

Parker, Mathers' son, was also in the vehicle with three of his friends to go shopping, according to TMZ. Mathers is also the mother of daughter Hailie Jade, 30, with the rapper whose real name is Marshall Mathers III.

She was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and failure to stop or identify after causing property damage.

Officials said the collision pushed the truck 50 ft from where it was parked, according to Click on Detroit.

Bodycam footage from the day of the incident showed her chatting with officers outside her home.

Mathers said to the cops that another driver in a 'little blue car' swerved into her lane, which she said led her to have 'no choice' or room, but to careen her Range Rover into a pickup truck in the lane to her right.

'I didn't see the pickup truck, but I felt the impact and my car felt the impact,' Mathers told police.

When asked if she had been consuming alcohol or narcotics, Mathers allegedly said, 'No.'

Officers pointed out to Mathers that she had made contact with her garage door with her vehicle.

She told police that she had been distracted by the 'screaming and yelling' children in the Range Rover, as they thought they were being followed.

When asked when the last time she drank was, Mathers said, 'An hour, two hours, maybe three hours ago.'

Police asked Mathers to retrieve her insurance information and conducted a search of the vehicle, which led them to discover alcohol.

Mathers, a native of Warren, Michigan, was clad in a hooded zip-up sweater in a separate part of the video, in which she was seen submitting to a preliminary breath test.

After breathing into a device, she was placed into handcuffs, at which time she asked police to notify her family of what was happening.

She allegedly crashed her car a second time as she pulled into her driveway, but failed to stop and slammed into her garage door.

A photo dated from February 23, that was obtained by TMZ showed what was allegedly Mathers' white Range Rover after it had crashed into the garage door, which was partially caved in.

The vehicle appeared to have a smashed passenger-side headlight, and the bumper was damaged and partially ripped off the vehicle, though it wasn't clear which of the alleged crashes may have caused the majority of the damage.

According to the publication, one of Mathers' neighbors, who claimed to have seen the crash, put in a call to the police.

After they arrived, she was reportedly taken to a hospital for unspecified injuries, then discharged early on the morning of February 24.

Mathers' life was once a magnet for controversy, particularly during her romances with Eminem, to whom she got married twice.

The two were introduced in 1987 and began dating years later, before tying the knot in 1999.

The marriage was short-lived, and the two divorced in 2001, but they later reunited and remarried in 2006, only to split again later that year.

In 1995, Mathers and Eminem welcomed their daughter, Hailie.

She later had her son Parker with another partner, and she and her then-boyfriend, Eric Hartter, welcomed their child Stevie Laine Scott in 2002, between her relationships with Eminem.

However, the rapper later adopted Stevie in 2005 after he and Mathers reunited. Hartter died in 2019.

Eminem also adopted Alaina Marie Scott, 32, who was the daughter of his ex-wife's sister Dawn Scott.

He adopted her in the early 2000s, and Kim's sister - who had battled drug addiction for years - died in 2016.

Mathers is expected to appear in court for a sentencing hearing on June 17.
