Amazon Removes Alleged Kim Porter Memoir

Amazon removed a bestselling book from its site that’s advertised as the memoir of Kim Porter, a model and actor who dated Sean “Diddy” Combs and who died in 2018.

People who were close to Porter, including her children, claimed that the 59-page book, “Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side…,” was not real. Despite this, it made its way to the top spot on the Amazon list in September after Combs was indicted and arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

“We were made aware of a dispute regarding this title and have notified the publisher,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement, according to multiple media outlets. “The book is not currently available for sale in our store.”

Amazon’s decision to remove the book also comes after an attorney for musician Albert Joseph Brown, known professionally as Al B. Sure!, whose son Quincy Brown is Porter’s child, sent cease-and-desist letters to Amazon and to the person who published the book.

In a social media post on Sept. 23, Albert Brown wrote that there is a “significant suit headed right for the heads of the responsible parties who dragged my name into this bullshit.”

Quincy Brown and Porter’s three children with Combs signed a statement that the book is not real.

“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” they wrote. “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.”

An attorney for Combs also claimed the book was ”fake” and “a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy.”

The book was published by author, producer and journalist
