Kim Porter’s alleged memoir detailing her relationship with Diddy has been removed from Amazon following claims it’s a fabrication.
Amazon confirmed on Tuesday (October 1) that they had withdrawn the book, which is titled Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey For Justice, From the Other Side, from sale after it became a bestseller following Puffy’s arrest for sex trafficking and racketeering.
In a statement, the retail giant said: “We were made aware of a dispute regarding this title and have notified the publisher. The book is not currently available for sale in our store.”
The book was published independently by Chris Todd, who had no comment on it being pulled by Amazon.
It contained a number of salacious accusations about Diddy relationship with the late model, including that the Bad Boy boss had gay sex with numerous high-profile figures and was physically abusive towards Porter.
Todd claimed to have written the book based on a flash drive belonging to Porter that he had received, but later admitted that he was unsure of its authenticity.
The book had previously been denounced by Porter’s ex-partner Al B. Sure, as well as her and Diddy’s children Christian, Jessie, D’Lila and Quincy Combs (the latter of whom’s biological father is Sure).
The siblings released a statement on Instagram which read: “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.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. 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.”
It continued: “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. We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle of what has been the most tragic event of our lives.”
Al B. Sure has also issued a cease and desist order to Amazon as well as Todd over the sale of the book which he claims features “false and malicious statements”.
