Sean “Diddy” Combs had four children with Kim Porter before her death in 2018. The kids have released their first statement since Diddy’s arrest.
Sean “Diddy” Combs, his family members, and former partners have all been placed under a microscope since he was arrested last week. Now, four of Combs’ seven children are condemning “hurtful and false rumors” about their late mother, Kim Porter.
Combs was indicted on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, 10 months after an explosive lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, accused Combs of rape and abuse throughout their relationship. (Combs denied the claims and they quickly reached a settlement. He pleaded not guilty in court and is currently awaiting trial.)
Due to the nature of Ventura’s allegations and the details in his unsealed indictment — as well as the 11 additional civil lawsuits that have been filed against Combs alleging assault, sexual misconduct, and other crimes — his past romantic relationships have become a particularly fierce source of speculation in tabloids and social-media comment sections.
Some have even gone so far as to suggest that Combs had a hand in Porter’s sudden death.
On Sunday, the Daily Mail published an article with the headline, “What really happened to Diddy’s dead girlfriend Kim Porter as wild conspiracies swirl.” Two days later, the British tabloid followed with another that reads, “Haunting Diddy X post to ex-partner Kim Porter as stars call for full investigation into her death.”
Combs and Porter began their long-term on-and-off relationship in 1994. They shared four children: Porter’s son, Quincy Taylor Brown, was born in 1991 and later adopted by Combs; the couple’s biological son, Christian Combs, was born in 1994; and their biological twin daughters, Jessie James Combs and D’Lila Star Combs, were born in 2006.
Combs and Porter broke up for the final time in 2007 after Porter discovered Combs had been unfaithful while she was pregnant with their daughters.
