The letter also states, “If these demands are not met within 10 days, we will have no choice but to pursue all legal remedies, including filing a lawsuit for defamation.”
The book, which is currently an Amazon bestseller, “falsely depicts Mr. Brown engaging in fabricated sexual acts with, among other things, Sean Combs and the mother of his son Quincy,” the letter claims. are.
The letter added: “By misrepresenting Mr. Brown’s private life and fabricating materially false accusations of inappropriate sexual conduct, these defamatory claims have caused significant damage to Mr. Brown’s reputation.”

The letter asks the author to stop selling the book and issue a public apology that is “clear, unequivocal, and should be widely distributed.”
“Amazon should be held to a higher standard,” Hantman said, adding, “As if a fake memoir wasn’t enough, Jeff Bezos’ Amazon has not conducted any investigation into its validity or accuracy. It’s shocking that they are distributing it without doing anything.”
Guse claimed to Rolling Stone that a source “had[Porter’s]flash drive.” I didn’t ask too many questions about how I got it (or where it came from). ”
He also admitted about the publication, “If someone were to hold my foot to the fire and say, ‘Life or death, is that book real?'” I have to say I don’t know. But it’s real enough for me. ” he added further. The information in this book may not be 100% true, but it may be 80% true. ”
Porter’s children, Quincy, Christian “King” Combs, Delilah Combs, and Jesse Combs, also object to the book, saying it contains “harmful and false rumors.”
“The claim that our mother wrote the book is completely false. She did not and anyone who claims to have the manuscript is lying to themselves.” they wrote in a social media post.
Combs’ attorney told Billboard, “Kim Porter’s memoir is a fake. It is both offensive and a shameless attempt to profit from a tragedy.”
Porter and sure! The two were married from 1989 to 1990 and had a son, Quincy.
Porter and Combs, on and off from 1994 to 2007, have three children.
Mr. Porter died of pneumonia in 2018.

The book was published before Combs was arrested and indicted on charges including extortion and human trafficking.
The suspect has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Prosecutors allege Combs forced victims and sex workers to perform in wild so-called “freak-offs.”
His lawyer countered: “Consensual adults doing what consenting adults do…You can’t be so puritanical in this country that you think sex is somehow bad. If you do… If so, there would be no more people.”
In 2023, Combs was accused of domestic abuse and sexual abuse by his ex-girlfriend, singer Kathy. Combs admitted wrongdoing, but they quickly settled the case the next day.
In May, a video surfaced of him violently punching her in a hotel hallway, for which he later apologized publicly.
