Amazon has yanked the best-selling purported memoir by late model Kim Porter about her years with accused sex trafficker Sean “Diddy” Combs” after the pair’s children blasted it for being completely made up.
The typo-ridden, 59-page book, “Kim’s Lost Words: A journey for justice, from the other side …,” claimed to have been based on recently discovered writings by Porter, who died in 2018, detailing alleged abuse by Combs during their on-and-off relationship from 1994 until 2007.
It became a bestseller on Amazon — before the online site yanked it Tuesday over the serious allegations that it was pure fiction.
“We were made aware of a dispute regarding this title and have notified the publisher,” an Amazon spokesperson said. “The book is not currently available for sale in our store.”
Combs’ kids with Porter, Christian, 26, and twin daughters Jessie and D’Lila, 17, slammed the book — self-published on Sept. 6 under a pseudonym by a self-described investigative journalist — as fake after it became an Amazon bestseller in September.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is mispresenting themselves,” their statement said.
Still, the $25 book quickly rose to the number one spot on Amazon’s Best Sellers list. The book’s author was listed as Jamal T. Millwood — the name of an alias used by Tupac Shakur, according to conspiracy theorists who claim he is still alive. The rap icon was shot to death in 1996.
The book’s independent publisher, Todd Christopher Guzze, claimed sources “very close to Kim and Sean Combs” provided him with a “flash drive, documents and tapes” from Porter that he pieced together to create the memoir.
Sales of the memoir skyrocketed after news of Combs’ Sept. 16 arrest at a New York City hotel and the shocking details alleged in the indictment against him.
Combs was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He pleaded not guilty but was denied bail for the charges stemming from alleged sex abuse at the height of his career in the 1990s and early 2000s.
