Amazon Pulls Kim Porter Book That Claims Abuse by Diddy
Written by djfrosty on October 2, 2024
Amazon has pulled from it’s website the bestselling 60-page Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice From the Other Side…, a memoir allegedly written by the late Kim Porter, a model and longtime partner of Sean “Diddy” Combs, according to Associated Press.
The book reveals an alleged abusive relationship between the couple, who share 26-year-old son Christian, as well as 17-year-old twins Jessie and D’Lila. They also share Quincy Brown, Porter’s son with Al B Sure!, whom Combs adopted. “We were made aware of a dispute regarding this title and have notified the publisher,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. “The book is not currently available for sale in our store.”
Combs’ attorney Erica Wolf called the memoir “fake” and “offensive – a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy” in a statement to Billboard last month.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue,” Combs and Porter’s children said in the 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.”
The statement went on: “Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother. 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.”
Porter passed away on Nov. 15, 2018, and her cause of death was determined to be lobar pneumonia. She was 47.
Diddy was arrested on Sept. 17 in New York City on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He has since been denied bond twice and will remain in prison until facing trial.
