Music legend Al B. Sure! has launched a scathing attack on a fake memoir claiming to be written by his late ex-wife Kim Porter.
“The part with me, I have nothing to do with any activity of that nature. It’s the most disgusting, heinous lie I have ever heard of in my life,” Sure! told Page Six.
The book, “Kim’s Lost Words,” was self-published on Amazon by Todd Christopher Guzze under the alias Jamal T. Millwood.
Sure!’s lawyer, Robert J. Hantman, has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and CEO Andy Jassy, demanding the book’s removal.
“Should you fail to comply with these demands within ten days, we will have no alternative but to pursue all legal remedies available, including filing a lawsuit for defamation,” the letter warns.
Hantman added, “Amazon should be held to a higher standard… As if a fake memoir is not enough, it is shocking that Jeff Bezos’ Amazon would distribute it without any investigation of its validity or accuracy.”
Porter’s four children – Quincy, Christian ‘King’ Combs, D’Lila Combs, and Jessie Combs – have also denounced the book, stating:
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.”
Author Todd Christopher Guzze defended his work, saying, “Maybe not 100% of the book is true, but maybe 80% is… Sometimes you have to just put it out there.”
Sure! has shared excerpts of the fake memoir on social media, urging law enforcement to investigate the publisher.
