As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ life comes under scrutiny again following an indictment accusing him of sex trafficking and prostitution, wild theories have begun to emerge regarding the death of his longtime girlfriend, Kim Porter.
Porter’s death caused shock when, as a seemingly healthy 47-year-old woman, she died of pneumonia on November 15, 2018, after having suffered flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to it. Some doubt that verdict, including Donald Trump’s eldest son.
The model and actress was in an on-and-off relationship with Combs, 54, from about 1994 until they split in 2007. Together they had a son, Christian “King” Combs, now 26, and twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie, now 17.
Porter rarely spoke of her relationship with Combs, whom she learned of. I was expecting a child with a woman named Sarah Chapman at the same time she was expecting twins. She claimed that she remained friends with the music mogul after they broke up.
But wild theories about Porter’s time with Combs began to intensify in April following Donald Trump Jr.’s allegations and reached a fever pitch after the release of a book days before Combs’ arrest containing what Porter’s friends say are his damning diary entries.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ longtime girlfriend Kim Porter died in 2018 from pneumonia due to a lung infection, according to Los Angeles officials.

Don Jr., the Republican Party standard-bearer’s eldest son, appeared on the AKADEMIKS podcast in April and claimed Porter was afraid of Diddy. He said he doesn’t believe she died of pneumonia.
His views on the subject came from his ex-wife Vanessa Trump, who he said was good friends with Porter.
He said that when Porter died, Vanessa called him and said, “There’s something up with that.”
‘(Porter) was very afraid of (Diddy)… this goes back years, and she was having these conversations with my ex…
“Not many people die at 47 from pneumonia… and I’m not trying to fuel any kind of rumors, but that’s a conversation I had with somebody who knew her well,” Trump Jr. said.
DailyMail.com has not confirmed any of Trump Jr’s claims, and Los Angeles officials have ruled that Porter died of pneumonia due to a lung infection.
The brief memoir, published on September 6, takes the accusations against Diddy a step further.
Kim’s Lost Words, the 60-page book published just days before Combs’ arrest, says Combs first hit Porter when she refused to use a harness on him.
The book also describes him as “a terrifying monster” when he allegedly threatened her with a gun in her own apartment.
Much of the allegations contained in the book centered on her and Diddy’s sex life, as she claimed the two were in an open relationship.
Porter’s memoir claims Combs first hit her after she refused to use a strap-on dildo to have sex with him.
The book says he recorded himself having sex with “young boys” he represented and that underage girls attended the sex parties he hosted.
The final entry in the memoir shows Porter falling fatally ill, sending a dramatic text to her friends saying “got me” and then calling 911.
The book’s Los Angeles-based editor and producer Chris Todd claims Porter shared a flash drive containing his writings with close friends, which he obtained and lightly edited into a book under the pseudonym Jamal T Millwood.
Todd has not offered any documentary evidence to prove its authenticity, but has put printed copies up for sale on Amazon.
The new focus on Porter’s death comes as prosecutors in the Southern District of New York accuse Combs of orchestrating elaborate, often days-long sexual performances called “freak-offs” in which he forced his victims to have sex with male prostitutes.
Combs, who has been denied bail, denies the allegations. His lawyers say the encounters were consensual.
Prosecutors also allege the rapper assaulted his victims to gain their consent, including by kicking, punching and dragging them by their hair.
After footage published by CNN in May showed Combs kicking and dragging his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura through the hallways of a Los Angeles hotel, he admitted what he did and apologized.
Diddy faced outrage when a video was released showing him attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016.
Diddy was seen throwing Cassie to the ground and kicking her furiously.

“I hit rock bottom, but I don’t make excuses,” she said of the explosive video.
Aside from Porter’s alleged diary entries, there is no firm evidence that the rapper ever abused Porter.
When talking to Rolling Stone In June, her father, Jake Porter, 78, told the magazine that he never saw Combs abuse his late daughter.
But when she saw the video of him hitting Cassie, she said, “it made me think.”
“I can say that I was disgusted by the video, and I wouldn’t treat my enemy like that,” added Jake Porter. “It was despicable.”
Porter had been photographed with Combs and their children in the months before his death.
Both We even spent Mother’s Day together in 2018 and had remained active parents to their three children.
“We are committed to our children even if we can’t commit to each other,” Porter once said.
Porter didn’t give too many hints about why her relationship with Combs ultimately failed, although Combs did tell Essence in 2006 that he wasn’t ready to marry her.
“In ending this relationship, I made a decision that was best for me, Sean and our family. I look forward to moving forward with my life and career and wish him prosperity, health and happiness in life and in love. We will remain friends and committed parents to our children,” Porter said in a statement after the couple split for the last time.
