(NewsNation) — Sean “Diddy” Combs and Kim Porter’s children put rumors to bed late Tuesday night, posting to Instagram and shutting down talk regarding their mother’s sudden 2018 death.
“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,” the post said.
Signed by Quincy Brown, Christian Combs, Jessie Combs and D’Lila Combs, the kids denied claims that their mother wrote a memoir and that a manuscript of some sort existed.
Kim Porter’s alleged memoir
Earlier this month, a 59-page book was self-published to Amazon, titled “KIM’S LOST WORDS: A journey for justice, from the other side.” However, it has since come out that the man behind the publication of the so-called “memoir” told Rolling Stone he couldn’t authenticate the manuscript.
The children also said anyone attempting to speak on behalf of the family and Porter were “not a friend” and didn’t “have her best interests at heart.”
Still reeling from the death of their mother, the children asked for respect and privacy as they continued to navigate their journey through grief. The 47-year-old died suddenly in November 2018; an autopsy revealed the cause of death to be pneumonia.
“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 post stated, shooting down all speculation that Combs could have had a role in Porter’s untimely death.
Despite the established cause of death, speculative fans and Brown’s estranged father Al B. Sure! have called for a new investigation into Porter’s death following Combs’ arrest and indictment, according to TMZ.
Porter’s four children continued, “We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle of what has been the most tragic event of our lives. … Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories.”
Diddy’s allegations, arrest
Combs has been accused of using his music empire to engage in sex trafficking and having a pattern of abusing women.
He was arrested Sept. 16 after months of allegations and federal raids on two of his properties. He pleaded not guilty in New York court the next day.
Both his bids to bail out of jail have been rejected, leaving him in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center for the foreseeable future.
