Kim Porter's children shut down 'hurtful' rumours after Diddy sex trafficking arrest

Kim Porter's children - Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D'Lila - have released a statement to shut down the 'hurtful and false' rumours

Kim Porter's children have broken their silence to shut down the 'hurtful' rumours about her amid Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking arrest.

The model and actress was in an on-off relationship with Diddy, who is facing charges of sex trafficking, from 1994 until 2007. Together, they had a son, Christian 'King' Combs, 26, and twin daughters D'Lila and Jessie, 17. Diddy also helped to raise Quincy, Kim's 33-year-old son from her previous relationship with singer-songwriter Al B. Sure!.

Kim died of pneumonia at her home in Toluca Lake on November 15 2018 after suffering from flu-like symptoms in the days before. In a new post, Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D'Lila released a joint statement. It read: "We have seen so many hurtful and false rumours 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 no a friend, nor do they have her best interests at heart."

The statement 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. Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind, and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories. We ask that everyone please respect our mother, Kim Porter, and hold her legacy in high regard so that she may rest in peace. It's what she deserves. We love you and miss you mommy. Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D'Lila."

Their statement referred to a book that was released on September 6, days before Diddy's arrest. A shocking alleged 'memoir', called Kim's Lost Words, was published. Publisher Chris Todd claimed he obtained the book from close friends who Kim allegedly shared a thumb drive of her writing with, but he has not offered any documentary evidence to prove its authenticity and it is widely believed to be fake.

In the book, Diddy is described as a 'terrifying monster' who threatened Kim with a gun and first hit her for refusing to take part in a sex act. The final entry of the 60-page book says Kim texted her friends 'he got me' when she fell gravely ill. Kim's ex Al B. Sure! and her best friend Eboni Elektra have both said the memoir is fake.
