As more charges loom over the music mogul’s head, the world continues to search for answers. They won’t find those answers inside a memoir reportedly penned by Combs’ ex, Kim Porter. </p>
<p id=”par-2_47″>Sales for the memoir attributed to the late model, <em>Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side…</em>, skyrocketed after Combs’ arrest. Then, it quickly vanished from Amazon’s website and is no longer being sold. So, why exactly was the purported memoir pulled from the shelves?</p>

<p id=”par-3_62″>Kim Porter’s alleged memoir, <em>Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice From the Other Side…,</em> was released on Amazon in early September. The release came just a week before Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on myriad charges. While the memoir initially didn’t garner much interest, sales went through the roof in the aftermath of Diddy’s arrest before the retailer quickly pulled it.</p>

<p id=”par-4_43″>According to the <a href=”https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2024-10-02/kim-porter-book-diddy-abuse-allegations” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Los Angeles Times</a>, Amazon removed the book from its catalog due to concerns about its authenticity. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/diddy-family-tree-guide-sean-combs-kids-partners-parents-siblings.html/”>Porter’s children</a> stepped forward after the memoir’s release to insist their mother never wrote a book and that any diary claims are false. </p>
<p id=”par-5_46″>The book’s author alleged he received records and notes from two industry insiders as source material for the book. He did not reveal who provided him with the materials but did tell the <a href=”https://apnews.com/article/kim-porter-memoir-diddy-book-3c1a5120cdb590c3123ebdf8ab1bf0ae” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Associated Press</a> that his sources were close confidants of both Porter and Combs.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-how-did-kim-porter-die”>How did Kim Porter die?</h2>
<p id=”par-6_44″>Kim Porter died in her Toluca Lake, California, home <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/diddy-admits-he-did-a-bunch-of-rebound-stuff-following-kim-porters-death.html/”>in November 2018</a>. She was just one month shy of her 48th birthday. According to several sources, the model had flu-like symptoms, including a fever and sore throat, for several days before her death. </p>
<p id=”par-7_43″>An autopsy revealed that the mother of four died from lobar pneumonia. The form of bacterial pneumonia can be severe and extremely dangerous, especially for those with comorbidities. Porter was reportedly not treated with antibiotics, a typical treatment for pneumonia, before her death.</p>

<p id=”par-8_76″>While the coroner listed Kim Porter’s death as pneumonia, meaning she died from natural causes, not everyone believes that in the wake of Diddy’s arrest. According to <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/al-b-sure-investigation-kim-porter-death-diddy-combs-arrest-1235782456/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Billboard</a>, Porter’s ex-husband, Al B. Sure! is calling for an investigation into her death, suggesting she was murdered to silence her. Sure! theorizes that Porter knew enough about Diddy’s criminal behavior to bring down his empire. The controversial memoir also suggests that Porter’s death was caused by foul play.</p>
