The children of Kim Porter — Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D’Lila — have publicly refuted a memoir titled Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side, which claimed to be authored by their late mother and detailed her relationship with Sean Diddy. The self‑published 59‑page book appeared on Amazon in early September and quickly climbed to bestseller status, alleging a wide range of abusive or sensational claims against Diddy. Shortly thereafter, Amazon removed the listing after receiving notice of the dispute over its authenticity.

In a joint Instagram statement, the children categorically declared: “Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.” They also warned 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.” The statement further dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding Porter’s death in 2018, insisting the cause was established as lobar pneumonia and urging that her memory be respected.

The controversy has generated significant media attention, especially in light of Diddy facing criminal charges unrelated to the memoir. The timing of the book’s release — mere days before Diddy’s indictment — intensified scrutiny of both the claims within the book and the family’s response. While the book’s author has claimed to possess a flash‑drive with Porter’s alleged writing, he admitted he could not verify its authenticity.

Ultimately, the children’s strong rebuttal underscores their effort to protect Porter’s legacy and steer public narrative away from unverified allegations. They emphasized their personal grief and asked for privacy, while rejecting what they described as harmful rumors. Their message reflects both their commitment to truth and the emotional toll of seeing their family’s story become media spectacle.
