Amazon Pulls Kim Porter’s Alleged Memoir After Her Kids Slam Claim She Wrote a Book

Amazon has responded to the backlash surrounding Kim Porter’s alleged memoir.
After Kim’s children Christian Combs, 26, twins Jessie Combs and D’Lila Combs, 17, whom she shared with Sean “Diddy” Combs, as well as Quincy Taylor Brown, 33, whom she shared with Al B. Sure! (real name Albert Joseph Brown) and who was later adopted by Diddy, spoke out against the memoir’s validity, Amazon has removed it from its platform.
“We were made aware of a dispute regarding this title and have notified the publisher,” Amazon said in a statement to E! News. “The book is not currently available for sale in our store.”
The online e-commerce company’s decision to pull the memoir, titled KIM’S LOST WORDS: A journey for justice, from the other side…, comes after the actress’ children spoke out against the book.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue,” Kim’s children wrote in a joint Instagram statement Sept. 24. “She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.”
Kim’s children also seemed to push back on a claim the book’s publisher Chris Todd made to the Daily Mail, who said the late 47-year-old had shared a hard drive of her writing—which allegedly detailed her on-and-off relationship with Diddy as well as some of his high-profile indiscretions—with “close friends.”
“Please understand that any so-called ‘friend’ speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend,” the children’s statement continued. “Nor do they have her best interests at heart.”
E! News reached out to Chris, who declined to comment.
Christian, Jessie, D’Lila and Quincy finished their statement by noting the pain they continue to feel following their mother’s 2018 death of pneumonia, the cause of which continues to be speculated by people including Quincy’s biological father—who called her death a “tragic murder” in a Sept. 23 Instagram post.
“Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother,” they added. “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. There was no foul play.”
And while the children did not directly address Diddy’s Sept. 16 arrest on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, they did push back on the “spectacle” that has been made out of their mom’s death. (Diddy has maintained his innocence on all charges.)
“Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, kind, strong, loving woman she was,” they concluded. “Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories.”
