Late Kim Porter's Father Speaks Out On Diddy's Arrest: 'The Truth Will Come Out'

The late Kim Porter's father, Jake Porter, has shared mixed feelings about Sean "Diddy" Combs amid the rapper's recent legal troubles.

While acknowledging the serious charges against Diddy, Jake refrained from advocating for a re-investigation into his daughter's 2018 death, which was reportedly caused by pneumonia.

Since Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest and sex crime charges, several rumors surrounding Kim Porter's death resurfaced, which were further fuelled by the release of a fake memoir.

During an interview with the Daily Mail from his Georgia home, Jake Porter broke his silence on Diddy's arrest amid growing speculation surrounding his daughter's death and her relationship with the rapper.

After her passing in November 2018, Diddy delivered a heartfelt eulogy at her funeral in Columbus, wept at her gravesite, and stood hand-in-hand with Jake as they grieved together.

However, the 78-year-old's feelings toward the disgraced music mogul appear to be far more complex as he grapples with the serious charges brought against him.

However, Jake chose not to comment extensively on the recent charges against Diddy, simply stating that he was "aware of them from the news."

He also said: "When I saw the video of what he did to Cassie (Ventura). I was disgusted. I don't really have much to say beyond that. Everyone's innocent until proven guilty, I guess, but the truth will come out."

When asked if he believed any new information about his daughter's death might surface amid increasing calls for a re-investigation, Jake dismissed the original investigation as "a load of cr-p."

However, he stopped short of advocating for a new investigation into Kim's passing at the age of 47, which had been ruled a natural death due to lobar pneumonia.

A different family member, who wished to remain anonymous, was more outspoken, telling the outlet, "If she was my daughter, I would be demanding that the investigation be re-opened."

Reflecting on Kim, the relative shared, "I remember Kim as a little girl – she was just the sweetest little girl, And I remember how she grew up to be so beautiful and talented."

They added: "But I saw the change in her when we visited her out in California when she was with him [Diddy]. She was changed, something wasn't right."

They concluded: "Now I feel in my spirit he's guilty, but justice will just have to take its course."

The comments from Kim's family come after her children's recent statement calling for an end to all rumors about their late mom.

The heartfelt message was signed by Christian, 26, twins Jessie and D'Lila, 17, and Quincy, 33, Kim's eldest son from her previous relationship with singer Al B. Sure!, whom Diddy adopted during his long, on-and-off relationship with Kim between 1994 and 2007.

In their statement, Kim's children expressed frustration over the "hurtful and false rumors circulating about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs' relationship, as well as about our mom's tragic passing, that we feel the need to speak out."

They recalled how devastated they were by her loss but emphasized that "the cause of her death has long been established" and made it clear that "there was no foul play."

Diddy's kids also denied recent rumors suggesting that Kim wrote a memoir before her death. They clarified that anyone saying they possess a manuscript and claiming to be her friend is "misrepresenting themselves."

The children concluded their Instagram statement by urging the public to respect their mom's memory.

"We ask that everyone please respect our mother, Kim Porter, and hold her legacy in high regard so that she may rest in peace. It's what she deserves," they wrote. "We love you and miss you, Mommy."

Earlier this month, a 59-page book titled "Kim's Lost Words: A Journey for Justice from the Other Side" was released, quickly rising to the top of Amazon's bestseller list.

The book, allegedly compiled from a thumb drive containing entries from Kim's personal journals, details disturbing accusations. It claims Diddy once slapped her in a fit of rage and even issued death threats.

However, according to the Daily Mail, even the book's publisher, Chris Todd, has expressed uncertainty about the memoir's authenticity, saying he got the thumb drive from "two music industry sources."

Diddy, for his part, has voiced his anger concerning the book in question. Amid his stay at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, his lawyers issued a statement on his behalf, denouncing the book as "offensive" and "shameless."

His attorney, Erica Wolf, said, "The Kim Porter' memoir' is fake. It is also offensive a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy. Chris Todd has no respect for Ms. Porter or her family, who deserve better."

Wolf added, "Unlike the fabrications in his sickening 'memoir,' it is an established fact that Ms. Porter died of natural causes. May she rest in peace."
