Kim Porter’s Memoir Is Fake, Says Family

The Controversial Memoir

The person who published a supposed memoir from Kim Porter, Sean Combs’ ex-partner, told Rolling Stone that he can’t vouch for the book’s authenticity but believes it’s true.

A Mysterious Book

The 59-page book called KIM’S LOST WORDS: A journey for justice, from the other side… was self-published on Amazon. It talks about Porter’s alleged stormy relationship with Sean Combs before she suddenly died of lobar pneumonia in 2018.

Book’s Popularity Surges

Despite having many typos and factual mistakes, the book didn’t gain much attention until after Combs was arrested on serious charges. Now, it’s the top-selling book on Amazon, beating well-known authors like Sally Rooney, Nicholas Sparks, Hillary Clinton, and Ina Garten.

It’s strange how quick some stories can catch fire online .

Family and friends of Porter say the memoir is fake and filled with lies. Al B. Sure!, who has a son with Porter, stated there will be legal actions against those who spread this false information.

Porter’s close pals Kimora Lee Simmons and Lawanda Lane told Rolling Stone they don’t know who wrote the book. Lane mentioned, “Every page in that book is false,” and said Porter wasn’t writing any memoir before she passed. Another friend, Eboni Elektra, called the book "blatant lies" on Instagram.

Defending Her Legacy

A source close to the Combs family said they plan to look into their options regarding the book. They stressed Porter never wrote any manuscript and that the book’s claims are false and distressing for her loved ones.

Chris Todd, whose real name is Todd Christopher Guzze, is behind the book. He calls himself a producer, author, and investigative journalist, claiming to have solved famous murder cases. He even says he has proof Kurt Cobain was murdered, not a suicide.

Todd used the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood for publishing, hinting at a conspiracy theory about Tupac Shakur faking his death. According to Todd, he received the alleged memoir right after Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs last November. Two people supposedly close to Combs and Porter handed him the flash drive containing the memoir.

“They said they had her flash drive,” Todd claims. “I didn’t ask too many questions about how they got it [or] where did it come from.”

When asked to verify the sources or the book’s authenticity, Todd avoided giving clear answers. He said celebrity representatives ignored him when he tried to contact them.

“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,” Todd says. “Sometimes you have to just put it out there. Maybe not 100% of the book is true, but maybe 80% is. That is to get those people to come forward and either corroborate or deny [the claims], and that helps me as an investigator to know the truth.”

Although Todd insists he is a "voice for the voiceless" and represents Kim Porter’s voice, he gets annoyed when questioned about the book’s legitimacy. He wants people to focus on his other investigative work. “If I’m so hot, and my story and projects [are] number one on Amazon, where is everybody?” he asks. “Where’s my agent? Where’s CAA, the people I called for 12 years?”

“I’m trying to explain to you, this is not about Kim Porter, it’s about Chris Todd!” he adds.

Todd didn’t reveal how many copies of the book have been sold. Even though it’s a bestseller, it only has a 2.8-star rating. One person wrote, “This book is garbage … I don’t know who put this out, but this is unreal and I can’t believe I bought this trash,” and got a refund.
