Amazon take drastic action over controversial Kim Porter book as children with Diddy speak out
A controversial book about actress and model Kim Porter and her explosive relationship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been pulled by Amazon after their children together slammed 'untrue' claims
Amazon have taken a decisive decision over a recently-published controversial memoir about late model Kim Porter.
The online retailer confirmed the removal of the bombshell book from its site, which tells the story of an abusive relationship between the late actress and model Kim Porter and her longtime partner Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Their children denounced the 59-page book as a complete fabrication after it became an Amazon bestseller last month.
The book is titled Kim´s Lost Words: A journey for justice, from the other side. An Amazon spokesperson said: "We were made aware of a dispute regarding this title and have notified the publisher. The book is not currently available for sale in our store." Todd Christopher Guzze, who goes by the name Chris Todd, is the independent publisher of the book.

He describes himself as an "investigative producer, author and journalist". Last month, Todd claimed to The Associated Press that sources "very close to Kim and Sean Combs" provided him with a "flash drive, documents and tapes" from Kim that he pieced together to create the memoir.
Todd, who used the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood when publishing the title, did not comment on the removal from Amazon when contacted by the AP. The book was self-published on Amazon on September 6 - but since Kim's ex-boyfriend Sean Combs was arrested, sales skyrocketed.
It makes shocking allegations about the late model's relationships with her ex Combs as well as and her ex-husband Al B. Sure! - whose real name is Albert Joseph Brown III. Kim's ex-husband said he is ready to take legal action against anyone who contributed to the book which he described as a "fake" posthumous memoir.
Todd toldRolling Stonethat two people allegedly close to Combs and Kim contacted him about the book after claiming to have the late actress and model's hard drive - which he said he didn't question. He claimed: "They said they had her flash drive. I didn't ask too many questions about how they got it [or] where did it come from."
The man behind the book said he believes the memoir is accurate but didn't specify how or whether he verified or fact-checked the allegations contained in it. He also claimed that after contacting the representatives of the celebrities named in the book, their teams either "ignored him" or told him to "kick rocks."
He told the publication: "If somebody put my feet to the fire and they said, ‘Life or death, is that book real?’ I have to say I don't know. But it’s real enough to me. Sometimes you have to just put it out there. Kim's ex-husband, Al B. Sure!, slammed the memoir in a recent Instagram post, saying: "I am writing this post to formally request an investigation into an entire group of individuals who worked at or around the residence of Ms. Kimberly Porter including the publicists who assisted drafting this."
In a follow-up post, Al B. Sure threatened legal action, saying: "There will be [a] significant suit headed right for the heads of the responsible parties who dragged my name into this bulls***." Kim tragically passed away in 2018 at 47 years old due to pneumonia. Her children, Quincy Brown, 33, (with Al B. Sure! who was adopted by Combs), Christian Combs, 26, Jessie Combs, 17, and D’Lila Combs, 17, also condemned the book.
They said in a statement: "Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves. 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."
Diddy's lawyer Erica Wolff told People: "The Kim Porter 'memoir' is fake. It is also offensive - a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy. Chris Todd has no respect for Ms. Porter or her family, who deserve better. Unlike the fabrications in his sickening 'memoir,' it is an established fact that Ms. Porter died of natural causes. May she rest in peace."
