Kim Porter's children with Diddy call out 'horrific' conspiracy theories about her death

Kim Porter and Sean "Diddy" Combs' children are speaking out after conspiracies about her death and a fake memoir have circulated online.
Christian "King" Combs, twins D'Lila and Jessie Combs and Quincy Brown, whom Combs adopted — released a social media statement Tuesday night, calling the rumors and conspiracies "simply untrue" and "hurtful." Combs has three other children from other relationships.
"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 in a collaborative post.
The statement follows a culmination of rumors surrounding an alleged book written by the late model, including a Daily Mail report earlier this month. Titled "Kim's Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side," the outlet reported claims that the 60-page book is based on a collection of diary entries saved on a thumb drive and sent to producer Chris Todd before her death.

Though the Daily Mail noted Todd did not provide proof of the book's authenticity, it was published earlier this month and claims to include details of Combs' parties, illegal activities and abuse toward Porter.
The book also supposedly included a "final entry" amid her fatally falling ill with pneumonia in 2018, with the author suggesting Combs' involvement.
Porter's children set the record straight.
"Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue," they continued. "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, Brown's father, singer Al B. Sure!, took to social media, referencing the faux memoir and calling for an investigation into Porter's death. His Instagram post is still up as of Wednesday morning.
Combs had an on-again, off-again relationship with Porter from 1994 to 2007. She died in August 2018 at the age of 47 after she was found unresponsive in her San Fernando Valley home.
The Los Angeles County coroner's office confirmed at the time that she died of pneumonia. "The manner of death was certified as natural," according to a statement released by Sarah Ardalani, the former spokeswoman for the Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.

"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."
The group also requested peace amid the continued grief they feel.
"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's name has come up in sexual assault lawsuits against Combs, including in singer Dawn Richard's lawsuit earlier this month, in which she claimed to have seen Porter's face battered while she cried leaving a music studio in 2005. And in April Lampros' May lawsuit, she claimed Combs forced her and then-girlfriend Porter to take ecstasy and have sex together before he raped Lampros.
And in a May Rolling Stone investigation, two sources claimed the music mogul physically abused her, with former Bad Boy rapper Mark Curry adding, "I remember Kim used to go through a lot of stuff. If you live around them, you get to see the toxic relationship. … I think every relationship he had that I experienced around him was like that."
