Sean “Diddy” Combs' four children have spoken out for the first time since their father was arrested and indicted on organized crime conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, denying “horrifying conspiracy theories” about their late mother, Kim Porter, and a book that purports to be her own testimony.
Combs' sons Quincy (33, born to Porter and Al B Sure!, and later adopted by Combs) and Christian (26), and the couple's twin daughters Jesse and Delilah (17), wrote in a joint statement that they had “seen so many hurtful and false rumors circulating” about their parents' relationship and the death of their mother in 2018.
“The claim that my mother wrote a book is a complete lie. She did not write it and anyone claiming to have the manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” they wrote. “Please understand that any so-called 'friends' speaking on behalf of my mother or her family are not friends and do not have my mother's best interests at heart.”

“Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother. She was our world and everything has changed since she passed away. It is incredibly difficult to accept that she was taken from us so soon, but the cause of her death has long been clear,” they wrote. “No criminal conduct was committed and the grief will be lifelong. We continue to deal with her loss every day and we ask that you respect our request for peace.”
Porter, who had been separated from Combs for several years at the time of her death, was found dead in her home in November 2018. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office later confirmed that she died of lobar pneumonia.

“We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle of the most tragic event of our lives,” her children continued. “Our mother should be remembered as a beautiful, strong and loving woman. Her memory should not be tarnished by terrifying conspiracy theories.”

Earlier this month, Chris Todd Publishing released the book “Kim's Lost Words: A Journey to Seek Justice from the Other Side….” The 59-page manuscript, which Porter reportedly wrote before her death, contains allegations of abuse and detailed descriptions of sexual encounters with Combs.
“Kim Porter's 'memoir' is a fake,” Combs' attorney, Erica Wolf, told Fox News Digital. “And it's a shameless attempt to profit from a tragedy and it's disgusting. Chris Todd has no respect for Ms. Porter or her family, and they deserve better. Unlike the fabrications in his sickening 'memoir,' it is an established fact that Ms. Porter died of natural causes. We pray for her soul to rest in peace.”
