Sean “Diddy” Combs’ four children with Kim Porter are breaking their silence on “horrific” rumors surrounding the model’s death and alleged memoir, in the wake of the music mogul’s sex trafficking arrest.
Quincy Taylor Brown, 33, Christian Combs, 26, and 17-year-old twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs addressed the “hurtful” and “horrific conspiracy theories” in a joint statement released Tuesday via Instagram.
“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,” began the statement.
The foursome slammed the “simply untrue” claims that Porter penned a book.
“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 cause of Porter’s 2018 death, they said, “has long been established. There was no foul play.”
The siblings added: “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.”
Porter died suddenly of pneumonia in 2018. She was 47.
“We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle off what has been the most tragic event of our lives,” they continued. “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. … Hold her legacy in regard so that she may rest in peace. It’s what she deserves.”
Earlier this week, Porter’s ex-husband, Al B Sure called for a probe into her death and alleged memoir.
Porter was married to the R&B singer, born Albert Joseph Brown III, from 1989 to 1990 and together they had Quincy Brown, whom Combs later adopted.
The speculation surrounding Porter has ratcheted up since the feds arrested Combs on Sept. 16. The Harlem native was charged last week with sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy.
He has pleaded not guilty and, after twice being denied bail, remains in custody and on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Combs on Tuesday was hit with a new lawsuit which, like so many others, accused him of drugging and rape.
