Kim Porter‘s children have slammed “horrific theories” surrounding her death.
The model-turned-actor died of pneumonia in November 2018. Still, in the wake of her former partner Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest on sex trafficking charges, rumors have spread that her passing was linked to the rap mogul’s alleged misconduct. Another of her ex-boyfriends, Albert Joseph Brown — a.k.a. Al B. Sure! — calling for an investigation into her death.
However, Porter’s and Diddy‘s children, Christian and twins D’Lila and Jessie, as well as their half-brother Quincy Brown — whose father is Albert Brown — have now released a statement on Instagram blasting the speculation.
“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 … Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother,” they wrote.
“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,” the statement continued. “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,” the siblings stated.
“We ask that everyone please respect our mother, Kim Porter, and hold her legacy in high regard so that she may rest in peace,” they requested. “It’s what she deserves. We love you and miss you, Mommy. Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D’Lila.”
And although a book was released earlier this month titled KIM’S LOST WORDS: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side — which was supposedly on a hard drive Porter sent to record producer Chris Todd and then published under the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood — her kids insisted she never wrote a memoir.
“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,” the siblings said.
