Kim Porter and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ children have slammed ‘horrific theories’ surrounding the death of their mother.
Porter and Diddy share Christian, 26, and 18-year-old twins D’Lila and Jessie.
The model-turned-actress died in November 2018 of complications from pneumonia, but rumours of something more nefarious have been spreading steadily since news broke that Diddy is facing multiple charges of sex trafficking and abuse.
Another of Porter’s ex-boyfriends, Albert Joseph Brown aka Al B. Sure!, called for an investigation into her death, implying that it was somehow linked to Diddy.
However, Kim and Diddy’s three children, as well as their half-brother Quincy Brown – whose father is Albert – have now released a statement thoroughly denying the rumours and begging the public to leave their mother out of any speculation surrounding Diddy.
They wrote: ‘We have seen so many hurtful and false rumours 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…

‘Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother.
‘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.’
They went on to describe how grieving their mother’s unexpected death has been an ongoing process that they’re still embroiled in.
They continued: ‘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.
‘We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle of what has been the most tragic event of our lives. Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind, and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories.

‘We ask that everyone please respect our mother, Kim Porter, and hold her legacy in high regard so that she may rest in peace. It’s what she deserves. We love you and miss you Mommy. Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D’Lila.’
Earlier this month, as the world continued to reel from the news of the allegations against the music mogul, a book was released called: KIM’S LOST WORDS: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side.
The book was supposedly written by Porter, who sent a hard drive containing its pages to record producer Chris Todd and then published under the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood.
But Porter’s kids have continually insisted she never wrote a memoir and that the book was not written by her.

They said in the statement at the time: ‘Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves. 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.’
The latest bombshell news in the Diddy case came when he was arrested last week and later charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The musician has been remanded to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after being denied bail twice and is said to be on suicide watch.
According to new legal documents, another woman has come forward alleging that he violently raped her in 2001, alongside his head of security, Joseph Sherman.
In the paperwork – obtained by TMZ – Thalia Graves named Combs and his Bad Boy Entertainment company, as well as Sherman, in the suit and detailed a brutal rape and assault that included the use of drugs and bondage.
