Because Eric was a reckless parent, Eminem legally adopted Whitney as his daughter. Hartter was not allowed to meet her. He has tried to contact his daughter a few times but has been unsuccessful. Kimberly cut him off from the life of their daughter.

Eric Hartter is primarily known for his romantic involvement with Kimberly, and he is the biological father of Whitney Scott Mathers. In addition, he was a tattoo artist. His reputation as a tattoo artist was pretty good, but peddling drugs dragged him down.

Eric Hartter requested to see his daughter a few times, but Kimberly refused. She also threatened to take him to court. Finally, Kimberly realized that Eric couldn’t bring the law into the matter without the risk of his arrest.

Hartter’s mother, Marie Hartter, regretted not having an opportunity to see her granddaughter. Kimberly had cut her out of the little girl’s life as soon as she returned to Eminem. Marie decided, back in 2005, to sue Eminem for this impact.

While Eric remains out of the way, Eminem shows his daughter’s love and compassion.

Whitney Mathers says she has enjoyed growing up with her father and sisters. She spends a lot of time with her sisters, Hailie and Alaina. Hailie is the only biological daughter of Eminem with Kimberly.

Net worth

Under the work of the tattoo artist, Eric was trafficking drugs. His earnings from the tattoo job may have been decent, but there has never been anything to calculate. There’s barely any net worth information available.

Nothing is accurate about Eric’s annual income and assets. He was an addict who was on the run, hiding from cops. He was found dead after he was out of jail. So the chances are he was bankrupt.

Social media

We didn’t find Eric on any social media. He is a convicted felon and a criminal. He is always on the run, and that’s all we could know about him.

  1. I’m one of Eric’s ex-girlfriends and close friend. There’s a lot of information that is untrue in this article. I think that you should double check your information before you just put it out there like that. Eric had a lot of people that cared for him, and he wasn’t just some drug addict criminal. He had family and friends that would be highly upset if they read all this bullshit n slandering of his name. When he passed away it was because he had been clean for a while and relapsed.
