The late Kim Porter’s four children, Quincy Brown, Christian Combs and twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs, issued a statement following the release of a book on Amazon believed to be written by the popular matriarch.
In the lengthy statement, the children claim their mother never wrote a book and claim the book, now an Amazon bestseller, is full of lies. This is in line with Porter’s ex and Quincy’s father, Al B. Sure!’s claim that the book is not based on Porter’s “original book notes” and contains salacious stories that never happened.
“Claims that our mother has written a book are simply false. She has not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” her statement said. “Please understand that a so-called ‘friend’ speaking on behalf of our mother or her family is not a friend and does not have her best interests at heart.”
The children, however, disagree with Al B. Sure’s call for a further investigation into Porter’s death. The singer had suggested that Sean “Diddy” Combs and others acting on his behalf may have played a role in her death due to their alleged plans to expose the mogul.
“Although it was incredibly difficult to understand how she could have been taken from us so young, the cause of death has long been established,” they wrote. “There was no crime.”
The siblings continued, “We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle out of the most tragic event of our lives. Our mother should be remembered as the beautiful, strong, kind and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories.” Read their full statement below.
The official cause of death was given as lobar pneumonia. In three lengthy Instagram posts shared on Monday (September 23), Al B. Sure! called on multiple law enforcement agencies to further investigate her death. He wrote, “I am writing this post to officially request an investigation into an entire group of individuals who worked in or around the home of Ms. Kimberly Porter… Kimberlina was taken from us far too soon and before she could finish her true thoughts… It is evident that her ability to expose the reality of her personal abuses, drug addiction, #sextrafficking and #humantrafficking she was privy to, much like the brave actions of Ms. Cassie Ventura, posed a threat to those who profit from such heinous activities.”
The singer also called Porter’s death a “murder.” You can find his posts below.
