Sean “Diddy” Combs’ children broke their silence Tuesday following his sex crimes arrest earlier this month, but the kids didn’t mention the accusations against their father.
Instead, Combs’ kids put out a statement condemning “horrific conspiracy theories” swirling around about their late mother Kim Porter — the disgraced hip-hop mogul’s ex.
“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,” Quincy Brown and Christian, Jessie and D’Lila Combs wrote in a joint statement shared on their Instagrams Tuesday night.
Porter, a former model, and Combs dated off and on from 1994 until 2007. Together they had son Christian, now 26, and twin daughters Jessie and D’Lila, now 17.
Porter had her first child, son Quincy, 33, with her former husband singer Al B. Sure! Combs later adopted Quincy when he was just three years old.
The siblings issued their statement following the release of a memoir filled with typos that purports to have been written by their late mother, Kim Porter, before her unexpected death in 2018 at the age of 47 due to lobar pneumonia.
They strongly criticized the so-called memoir, a 59-page self-published work that emerged on September 6 under a pseudonym by a self-identified investigative journalist, labeling it as completely false.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. Anyone claiming to possess a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” they asserted.
The children also condemned the “horrific conspiracy theories” surrounding their mother’s life and death.
The alleged memoir, titled *Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side…*, has climbed to the top of Amazon’s Best Sellers list, priced at $25. The author is identified as Jamal T. Millwood, a name associated with Tupac’s alias, leading conspiracy theorists to speculate about his alleged survival.
The author of the book even admitted to Rolling Stone that he couldn’t confirm its authenticity, and combined with allegations of domestic violence against Diddy—including claims from his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura—this has fueled rampant speculation and conspiracy theories regarding Porter’s untimely passing.
The siblings swiftly dispelled these rumors in their statement, writing, “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.”
