Kim Porter passed away at the age of 47 in 2018, with initial reports citing cardiac arrest, according to TMZ. Nearly two months later, the Los Angeles coroner’s office confirmed that the model and actress had died from pneumonia.

However, the mother of four—sons Quincy Taylor Brown, Christian Combs, and twin daughters D’Lila Star and Jessie James Combs—has recently returned to the spotlight following the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs, the biological father of three of her children. Diddy was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution in Manhattan on Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, according to a federal indictment. In light of his arrest, producer Chris Todd has published a 60-page book titled Kim’s Lost Words, which claims to be a collection of Porter’s diaries. “This is a dangerous situation, and I didn’t want to claim ownership of Kim’s words. But now I’m willing to come forward because of the recent arrest of Sean Combs,” Todd stated.

While Diddy is set to begin his trial on May 5, 2025, — Here’s everything you need to know about Porter and the book allegedly detailing disturbing moments of her ex‘s sexual history and abuse.

How Was Porter and Diddy’s Relationship?

Kim and Diddy had an on-and-off relationship for years. Though they officially split in 2007, they reunited several times and were even pictured together on a Caribbean getaway in 2010, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Despite their split, Kim and Diddy remained close friends. In a 2007 interview with Essence, Kim explained, “You know how when two people go their separate ways, most of the time there’s animosity? It’s not like that with us. Sean and I have this bond, this friendship. It’s not about ‘if you’re faithful to me, if I’m being faithful to you.’ We’re friends. I’m the person he can tell his innermost thoughts to, and he’s that person for me.”

Combs praised Porter in an E! News interview, saying, “Kim is an incredible mother to our children. We’ve been part of each other’s lives for many years, and I have always admired her courage and strength. We’re the best of friends.”
