Kim Porter's purported memoir, made up of quoted diary entries, has landed on Amazon amid the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Kim's Lost Words: A Journey for Justice from the Other Side… was released on the retailer's website on September 6, about a week before Combs was charged with sex trafficking and extortion.

According to Daily Mailthe 60-page book was published by Chris Todd, a Los Angeles producer, who claims the book contains details Porter saved on a flash drive and gave to friends before her sudden death nearly six years ago. Todd released the unauthorized memoir under the name “Jamal T. Millwood,” per Daily Mail. He is listed as a co-writer with Porter.

The book is currently No. 1 on Amazon's bestseller list in the US Western Biographies category.

Todd provided no evidence to substantiate the troubling claims in the book, which includes multiple allegations of physical abuse.

“I was lucky enough to meet someone who supposedly had Kim Porter's flash drive,” he told the outlet. “I know the celebrity source very well. I know how close he was with Kim and Diddy, and all the people in the hip-hop community. This was supposed to be for Kim Porter to come out of the grave and tell her story.”

Todd added: “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. Now [that] the federal government has finally acted, I feel safer coming forward.”

Federal authorities arrested Combs in New York on Monday. The next day, authorities released a 14-page indictment that said in part: “For decades, Sean Combs … abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and hide his behavior.”

The 54-year-old rap mogul, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, has twice been denied bail and currently remains at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Its release date is listed as unknown.

As previously reported, Combs has been placed on suicide watch as a procedural measure for high-profile inmates. In a statement to Bulletin boardCombs' representative noted, “Mr. Combs is strong, healthy and focused on his defense. He is committed to fighting this case and has complete confidence in both his legal team and the truth.”

Porter, a mother of four who had three children with Combs — son Christian and twin daughters Jessie and D'Lilah — and an older son, Quincy, with R&B singer Al B. Sure, died of pneumonia in November 2018 .
