Kim Porter’s children have spoken out against a recently published memoir on Amazon that claims to be written for their late mother. The book, titled Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, from the Other Side, was released in early September, and while it quickly gained attention, her children were compelled to address the false claims circulating around it. In a joint statement shared on Instagram, Quincy, Christian, Jessie, and D’Lila clarified that the memoir is entirely fabricated and that Kim never wrote or authorized such a book.
The siblings expressed their heartbreak over the continued rumors about their mother’s tragic passing in 2018 from pneumonia, stating that there has been no foul play, contrary to the book’s insinuations. They also addressed the conspiracy theories surrounding their parents’ relationship, denouncing the claims as hurtful and untrue. According to the children, anyone speaking on behalf of their mother in this manner is misrepresenting her and the family.
Their statement is a direct response to the surge of interest in the book following Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent legal troubles, with some speculating that the timing of the memoir’s release was an attempt to capitalize on the situation. Both the family and Diddy’s attorney have described the memoir as a “shameless” effort to profit from tragedy. They emphasized the importance of remembering Kim for her loving and kind nature, asking the public to respect her legacy and allow her to rest in peace.
Despite the book’s brief popularity, it has since been recognized as a hoax, and the author, Chris Todd (using the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood), has admitted that he cannot verify its authenticity. He claimed to have received the book from unnamed sources within the music industry, but the family remains firm that it has no basis in truth.
