Sean “Diddy” Combs' children fuel rumors about his late mother Kim Porter

The children of Sean “Diddy” Combs broke their silence on Tuesday after he was arrested on sex crimes charges earlier this month, but did not mention the allegations against their father.

Instead, Combs' children released a statement condemning the “horrific conspiracy theories” circulating about their late mother, Kim Porter, the disgraced hip-hop mogul's ex.

“We have heard so many hurtful and false rumors about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs' relationship, as well as the tragic death of our mother, that we feel the need to speak out,” Quincy Brown and Christian, Jessie and D'Lila Combs wrote in a joint statement shared on Instagram Tuesday evening.

Porter, a former model, and Combs were together on and off from 1994 to 2007. Together they have son Christian, now 26, and twin daughters Jessie and D'Lila, now 17.

Porter had her first child, 33-year-old son Quincy, with her ex-husband, singer Al B. Sure! Combs later adopted Quincy when he was just three years old.

The children's statement followed the publication of their typo-ridden memoirs, which Porter reportedly wrote before her sudden death in 2018 at age 47 from complications of lobar pneumonia.

The siblings called the so-called memoirs – a 59-page book self-published on September 6 by a self-proclaimed investigative journalist under a pseudonym – a 100 percent fake.

“Claims that our mother wrote a book are simply false. She did not. And anyone who claims to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” her statement said.

The alleged memoir, titled “Kim's Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side…”, is number one on Amazon's bestseller list. It costs $25 and is listed as the author as Jamal T. Millwood – an alias used by Tupac, according to conspiracy theorists who claim he is still alive.

The book – whose author told Rolling Stone he didn't know for sure if it was true – and allegations of domestic violence against Combs, including from his ex, singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, have sparked a flood of suspicion and conspiracy theories on social media about Porter's untimely death.

These rumors were also quickly denied by her children in their statement.

“It is incredibly difficult to understand how she could have been taken from us so early. The cause of death has long been established. There was no crime,” they wrote.

They criticized those who spread these rumors.

“We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle out of the most tragic event of our lives,” the siblings wrote. “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.”

The children have not commented on the charges against their father at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Combs was arrested last week and charged with conspiracy to commit organized crime, sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

He pleaded not guilty but was denied bail on charges related to alleged sexual abuse at the height of his career in the 1990s and early 2000s.
