### Former Family Attorney Speaks Out on Kim Porter and Diddy Combs Controversies
Kim Porter would be deeply disturbed by the recent headlines about her alleged "memoir" and Sean "Diddy" Combs' involvement in a sex-trafficking indictment, said her former family attorney, Suzanne Kimberly Bracker, in an interview with Business Insider. Bracker, who secured a $20,000-a-month child support agreement from Combs for their son Christian, remarked, "She would be turning over in her grave right now."
Porter and Combs had a tumultuous relationship that spanned nearly a decade and ended in 2007. Despite their frequent breakups and reconciliations, Bracker described a passionate and controlling dynamic, noting that Combs was "jealous and obsessed" with Porter, even going so far as to have her followed constantly.
Bracker emphasized that Porter was too private and classy to expose personal details in a tell-all book or participate in any of the "freak-outs" Combs allegedly orchestrated. The purported memoir, "Kim's Lost Words," has been denounced as fraudulent by Porter's friends, her ex-husband Al B. Sure, and another family lawyer. Christian and Porter's other three children have also condemned the book, deeming it filled with "horrific conspiracy theories."
"Kim never gave even an interview about her private life," stated Bracker, underscoring Porter's commitment to her children's privacy. "There was no way in hell she would want a book published."
Though their relationship included instances of physical altercations, Bracker clarified that Porter held her own. "If anything, she was beating him," Bracker said, denying that Combs was violent towards Porter during their representation period.
Dismissing any notion of Porter's involvement in the coerced sexual performances described by federal prosecutors, Bracker asserted, "I guarantee she was not part of these 'freak offs.' She would have cut off his penis if he ever proposed that to her."
Bracker began representing Porter in 1999, amid Combs' involvement with Jennifer Lopez and legal troubles related to a Times Square nightclub shooting. Despite Porter's knowledge of Combs' infidelities, particularly with Lopez, she remained jealous but resilient. She eventually agreed to file for paternity and child support after Combs' acquittal in 2001.
Revelations of Combs' controlling behavior included hiring private investigator Joe Mullin to follow Porter, a tactic reminiscent of Donald Trump's divorces. Bracker recounted how Combs would incessantly call Porter, always aware of her whereabouts, reflecting his controlling nature.
While Combs could be generous, his support was often inconsistent. Bracker advised Porter to act swiftly on child support claims to preempt lawsuits from nightclub shooting victims, but Porter hesitated until after Combs was acquitted.
Combs, now facing multiple civil and criminal cases, including a recent lawsuit involving an alleged assault by his son Christian, has pleaded not guilty to the sex-trafficking charges and remains in federal custody. His attorneys have yet to comment on these ongoing cases.
