Ever since the arrest of the embattled Hip-Hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, his children have kept a low profile.
And in the wake of the trouble surrounding the rapper, questions have been raised about the untimely passing of their mother, American model and actress Kim Porter.
Now, they are speaking up against “horrific conspiracy theories surrounding their family”, and calling for respect for their mother’s memory.
Quincy, King, and twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs shared a joint statement on their social media accounts addressing the speculation.
“We have seen so many hurtful and false rumours circulate about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs relationship, as well as about our mom’s tragic passing,” the statement reads in part.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.”
Kim Porter’s children added that they are still dealing with the grief that came with losing their mum in 2018.
“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.”
The four Combs kids also said that the world has made a spectacle of their mother’s death, and disrespected her memory.
“The comments refer to a purported memoir, Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice from the Other Side, that was published days before Combs was arrested on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force and transportation for purposes of prostitution,” The Guardian notes, adding that “His children have not commented on the charges, which Combs denies.”
The report adds that Comb’s and Porter’s children are now said to be seeking legal advice about the 58-page purported memoir that details alleged disturbing and graphic sexual encounters between Combs and other celebrities.
“Combs’s attorneys have said the book is ‘fake’ and ‘offensive’, and ‘a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy.
