The “fake” Kim Porter memoir that was allegedly filled with abuse claims about her disgraced ex, Sean “Diddy” Combs, has been pulled from Amazon.
“We were made aware of a dispute regarding this title and have notified the publisher,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement about “Kim’s Lost Words: A journey for justice, from the other side …”
“The book is not currently available for sale in our store.”
Independent publisher Todd Christopher Guzze, also known as Chris Todd, told the Associated Press last month that the memoir – which became a bestseller in September – was created after sources “very close to Kim and Sean Combs” provided him with a “flash drive, documents and tapes” from the late model.
He published the $22 book under the alias Jamal T. Millwood.
“Kim’s Lost Words” detailed incidents of abuse and other acts of violence that Combs, 54, allegedly committed against Porter before she died in 2018 from lobar pneumonia.
Sales for the memoir skyrocketed after the “Act Bad” rapper was arrested by federal agents last month on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
When excerpts from the book went viral online, Porter’s ex-husband, Al B. Sure!, threatened to take legal action against the creators of the “fake” memoir and called for an investigation into the people close to his ex who assisted with the book.
The “Nite and Day” singer, 56, also shut down the book’s claims that he had a sexual relationship with Combs.
“Original notes are distinct from the fabricated bulls–t and offensive pages circulated via Amazon which depict graphic sexual acts involving me that NEVER took place and were edited and added after Ms. Porter’s tragic murder,” he wrote on Instagram last month.
The fabricated book was also slammed by Porter and Sean’s kids: Quincy Brown, 33, Christian Combs, 26, and 17-year-old twins Jessie and D’Lila. (Porter shares son Quincy with Al but Sean adopted him when he began dating the actress.)
“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,” the four kids said in the statement.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.”
The kids ended their statement by asking the public to “respect” their mom and “hold her legacy in high regard.”
Meanwhile, Combs is currently sitting behind bars in a Brooklyn detention center after he was denied bail. He has pleaded not guilty to the sex trafficking charges.
