Diddy and Kim Porter’s Children Call Claims of a Memoir and Conspiracy Surrounding Her Death “Simply Untrue”

Kim Porter‘s four children are speaking out, calling claims that their late mother wrote a memoir “simply untrue.”

Christian (King) Combs and twins, D’Lila and Jessie Combs — whom Porter shares with Sean “Diddy” Combs — as well as Quincy Brown — whom she shares with Albert Joseph Brown (the R&B singer known as Al B. Sure!) — released a statement on social media Tuesday night, more than a week after Diddy’s arrest.

“We have seen so many hurtful and false rumors circulating about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs’ relationship, as well as about our mom’s tragic passing, that we feel the need to speak out,” they wrote.

The Daily Mail reported that a book, titled Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side, was reportedly saved on a hard drive by Porter and sent to Los Angeles record producer Chris Todd, who later released it on Sept. 6, using the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood. However, Porter’s children are now claiming she never wrote a memoir.

“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue,” they wrote in their statement. “She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves. Additionally, please understand that any so-called ‘friend’ speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend, nor do they have her best interests at heart.”

On Monday, Al B. Sure! also took to his Instagram to call for an investigation into Porter’s 2018 death, claiming that the model turned actress’s supposed knowledge of Combs’ alleged sex trafficking led to her death.

But her children are saying that’s far from the truth. “Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother,” their statement continued. “She was our world, and nothing has been the same since she passed. While it has been incredibly difficult to reconcile how she could be taken from us too soon, the cause of her death has long been established. There was no foul play. Grief is a lifelong process, and we ask that everyone respect our request for peace as we continue to cope with her loss every day.

“We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle of what has been the most tragic event of our lives. Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind, and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories,” the statement concluded. “We ask that everyone please respect our mother, Kim Porter, and hold her legacy in high regard so that she may rest in peace. It’s what she deserves. We love you and miss you Mommy. Quincy, Christian, Jessie & D’Lila.”

Porter was found dead in her home in Toluca Lake, California, in 2018 after days of flu-like symptoms. After initially listing her cause of death as “deferred,” the coroner later changed it to lobar pneumonia.
