Kim Porter’s Children, Ex-Husband Al B. Sure Slam ‘Fake’ Memoir Attributed to Her: ‘Kimberly Was Allegedly Taken From Us Because She Was Set On Course to Accomplish What Cassie Ventura Did’

Veteran R&B singer Al B. Sure and Kim Porter’s children have slammed what is being called a new “fake” memoir credited to Porter, who was Sure’s ex-wife and Sean “Diddy” Combs’ longtime girlfriend.  

“Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice From the Other Side” was released on Amazon on Sept. 6, just a week before Combs was arrested and indicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. It is purportedly based on information Porter saved on a flash drive and gave to friends before her death in 2018 from lobar pneumonia. Sure also called for an investigation into her death.

“For over a decade and a half, I’ve been posting about, and tagging random law enforcement agencies in hopes to protect loved ones, avoid deaths & tragedies that could have all been avoided,” Sure (real name: Albert Joseph Brown) wrote in an Instagram post on Monday. He said his protests were “ignored” and ridiculed.” Sure and Porter were married from 1989 to 1990 and had a son together, Quincy Brown, 33, whom Combs later adopted.

Combs was arrested earlier this month on federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges and remains in custody, following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

“Unfortunately, Kimberlina was taken from us way to soon and before she could complete her true thoughts before this FAKE Unauthorized EDIT released on AMAZON which the disappearance of her computer and vital evidence raises significantly more questions,” Sure wrote in one of several long and involved posts, which include notes he claims were intended to be included in the book. “It is evident that her potential to expose the realities of her personal abuses, being drugged, the #SexTrafficking and #HumanTrafficking she was privy to, akin to the brave actions of Mrs. Cassie Ventura, posed a threat to those profiting from such heinous activities. In a nutshell, Kimberly was allegedly taken from us because she was set on course to accomplish what Mrs. Cassie Ventura did by ignited the Bon Fire which brings us here today with the avalanche that has brought Satin [sic., presumably ‘Satan’] to their chambers.”

Ventura’s sexual-misconduct lawsuit against Combs last fall, which was settled within a day, was the first of many that have led to his arrest and current incarceration.

On Tuesday, Porter’s children — Quincy, Christian “King” Combs, D’Lila Combs, and Jessie Combs — also slammed the book in a social media post.

“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,” they wrote in the statement. “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.”

“Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother,” the statement continued. “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.”

Erica Wolf, an attorney for Combs, also says the purported memoir is “fake.” She wrote in a statement to Billboard, “The Kim Porter ‘memoir’ is fake. It is also offensive – a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy. Chris Todd has no respect for Ms. Porter or her family, who deserve better. … It is an established fact that Ms. Porter died of natural causes. May she rest in peace.”

Rolling Stone reported that author Todd (aka Millwood, born Todd Christopher Guzze), told the publication that he cannot guarantee that the claims in the book are authentic, saying he received the flash drive from two unnamed “music industry” sources.

 “If somebody put my feet to the fire and they said, ‘Life or death, is that book real?’ I have to say I don’t know. But it’s real enough to me,” he said. “Sometimes you have to just put it out there.”

Earlier this year, Al B. Sure, who fell into a coma for two months in 2022 due to causes that are still unclear, made a statement that some perceived to imply that Combs was somehow involved in his illness.

The 55-year-old “Off on Your Own” artist surprised those in attendance at the Equal Justice Now Awards in Los Angeles, where he announced an upcoming project about his life and appeared to make reference to Combs.

“We’re going to be producing the Al B. Sure! life story,” the Grammy nominee said at the Equal Justice Now Awards in Los Angeles last March. “So hold on to your britches, and you’ll really understand how I ended up in a coma. You’re really gonna need to call Homeland Security.” He comment was perceived to be referring to Homeland Security’s raid of Combs’ residences in Los Angeles and Miami days earlier.
