Diddy’s children break silence as they address speculation surrounding deceased mother Kim Porter’s involvement – after rapper’s sex trafficking arrest

Diddy‘s children have broken their silence after their father’s sex trafficking arrest.

Three of the controversial rapper’s children posted a joint statement on Instagram on Tuesday night.

The bombshell message was signed off by Diddy’s three children with late partner Kim Porter: Christian, 26, Jessie, and D’Lila, both 17, in addition to her eldest son Quincy, 33, who she shared with singer Al B. Sure! whom the rapper later adopted.

Porter – who was an American model – passed away of lobar pneumonia after several days of ‘flu-like symptoms’ at the age of 47 in November 2018.

The statement from her children read: ‘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.’

Porter and Diddy – born Sean Combs – were in an on-off relationship from 1994 until 2007. 

There is a new book which is alleged to be Porter’s memoir and includes claims of Diddy assaulting his late girlfriend, taping himself having sex with a male teenage popstar, and sex parties with an Oscar winner and his wife.

The 60-page book published on September 6, titled Kim’s Lost Words, claims to be a collection of the diaries of Porter, the mother of three of his children who died of pneumonia in 2018, was leaked by her friends. 

The statement took aim at the book as Porter’s four children continued: ‘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.

‘OUR LIVES WERE SHATTERED WHEN WE LOST OUR MOTHER. SHE WAS OUR WORLD. AND NOTHING HAS BEEN THE SAME SINCE SHE PASSED.’

Since her death there have been many conspiracy theories surrounding the way in which she passed which have only amplified since Diddy was indicted for racketeering and sex trafficking.

The statement from Porter’s four children continued:  ‘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. 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.

The bombshell message was signed off by Diddy’s three children with late partner Kim Porter: Christian, Jessie, and D’Lila in addition to her eldest son Quincy who she shared with singer Al B. Sure!

‘AND LOVING WOMAN SHE WAS. HER MEMORY SHOULD NOT BE TAINTED BY HORRIFIC CONSPIRACY THEORIES.’

The publisher of the 60-page book, Kim’s Lost Words  claims Porter shared a thumb drive of her writing with close friends 

The four children finished off the strongly-worded statement by requesting that their mother is respected in her death. 

They concluded: ‘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.’

In addition to the four children Combs shared with Porter he also has three children with three other women: son Justin, 30,  and daughters Chance, 18 and Love, 23 months. 

It was recently revealed that Combs – who is awaiting trial at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City – has ‘been able to speak briefly to family members and his children via phone’ as per People.

Diddy’s phone call home came amid news his lawyers are not asking for him to be moved from the ‘Hell on Earth’ Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset, Brooklyn.

‘He is very concerned about his kids and their well-being,’ the source stated.  

‘He has three minor children, two of whom now have no living parent available with him incarcerated. Four of his seven children have neither parent available with him incarcerated.’

Another source said that the Combs kids are ‘in a state of crisis and shock’ following Diddy’s arrest.

‘It’s heartbreaking to see the children in the state they’re in. This is their father. But to them, he’s not Diddy — he’s Dad. He has always been a loving, devoted father.’ 

He shares Christian, Jessie and D’Lila with the late model and actress Kim Porter, who died in 2018 at age 47.

Quincy was Porter’s son with partner Al B. Sure!, and Combs went on to adopt him.

He shares Justin with stylist Misa Hylton, and Chance with businesswoman Sarah Chapman.

In December 2022 he welcomed the arrival of his youngest child, daughter, Love, with model Dana Tran.

Justin (M), Christian (R), and Quincy (L), arrived together at the federal courthouse as they supported their father in court earlier this week 

On Tuesday Justin, Christian, and Quincy arrived together at a New York City courtroom to support their father.

Combs’s three daughters and 23-month-old baby girl were nowhere in view.

Another source told People that Diddy is not getting any special accommodations at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

‘He is being treated like any other detainee awaiting trial. As with all public figures in his position, he was placed on suicide watch upon admittance to the facility as a precaution.’

Diddy was arrested and charged last week for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The charge, which details allegations dating back to 2008, accuses him of abusing, threatening and coercing women for years ‘to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.’

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Following his arrest, he was denied bail by a judge after he used both his and his mother’s homes in Miami – worth $50 million – as collateral.

On Wednesday, he lost an appeal to overturn the decision and will remain in custody while pending trial.

He is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

The Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset, Brooklyn, also known as MDC, has a reputation for extreme violence, multiple deaths, squalid conditions, safety issues, rampant staffing shortages, smuggling of drugs and contraband, some carried out by its prison staff, and food that contains maggots – that have since been disproved. 

The jail has been deemed so dangerous that some judges have refused to send other violent offenders there. Some of the infamous prisoners detained there include Ghislaine Maxwell, Sam Bankman-Fried and R. Kelly.

Combs, who pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to sex trafficking charges, is being held in solitary confinement – away from the comforts of his $48 million mansion – and on suicide watch.

This summer there were two fatal stabbings and another stabbing in April where an inmate was knifed 44 times by MS-13 gang members at MDC, as per NBC reported. 

In the indictment against Diddy that was unsealed this week, it was claimed that federal raids on his Miami and Los Angeles mansions led to the discovery of over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.

It is alleged that the rapper would coerce and manipulate victims into taking part in days-long sexual performances, which he dubbed ‘freak offs.’

Diddy’s associates would allegedly ply victims with drugs to keep them compliant and would make threats against anyone refusing to engage, in claims similar to those made in a civil lawsuit brought by Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie last year.

These allegations were central to prosecutors bringing sex trafficking charges against the producer, with observers noting that authorities are increasingly expanding the law to suit their cases against powerful defendants.

A step up in federal sex trafficking charges was passed by Congress in 2000 as an intentional step to take down prostitution rings and pimps, but the evolving nature of the charge has seen it more recently used to snare individuals like Keith Raniere.

Notably, Diddy has hired the same attorney, Marc Agnifilo, who has previously challenged the government’s expanding use of federal sex trafficking charges in Raniere’s 2019 trial that led to a 120-year sentence.
