QUINCY BROWN DEFENDS HIS DAD DIDDY ON SOCIAL MEDIA
There has been a media frenzy since Diddy was arrested in New York five weeks ago.
Sean "Diddy" Combs is at the centre of the controversy. A grand jury indicted him after he was arrested on September 16 at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan. He is currently awaiting his trial, which is scheduled for May 5 of next year.
He has entered a not-guilty plea to the charges of racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. Marc Agnifilo, his lawyer, told UNILAD that his client is "not a criminal" and "looks forward to clearing his name in court," reaffirming that the decision to arrest and charge Combs was "unjust."
However, because of their father's alleged behaviour, his seven children have become somewhat collateral damage. His adoptive son Quincy Brown, who was with his late mother Kim Porter before she passed away in 2018, has now defended his father and criticised the media for spreading "false narratives."
His son posted on Instagram: "Our family has been devastated over the past month. On social media, many people have made ridiculous judgments about him and us based on false narratives, conspiracy theories, and accusations.
"We are one and will be there for you at every turn. We cling to the truth because we know it will win out and that nothing can weaken our family's resolve. We love and miss you, Dad.
Following allegations that their late mother, Porter, wrote a memoir describing sexual abuse at Combs' hands, Brown and his siblings have already issued a statement. According to Brown's birth father, Al B. Sure!, the abuse was first described in a 60-page memoir from the Other Side called Kim's Lost Words: A Journey for Justice.
Before Combs' arrest, it was published on Amazon in September.
"The Kim Porter'memoir' is fake," Diddy said in a statement issued through his lawyer, Erica Wolf. It is also disrespectful—a blatant attempt to capitalise on tragedy.
It is a well-established fact that Ms Porter passed away from natural causes, in contrast to the fabrications in his disgusting "memoir." I hope she finds peace. In a statement, Brown and Kim Porter's four children—Christian, Jessie, and D'Lila Combs—referred to the rumours that their mother wrote a memoir as "simply untrue."
It said something like this: "Anyone who says they have a manuscript is lying. She didn't. Furthermore, please be aware that any so-called "friend" who speaks for our mother or her family is neither a friend nor acting in her best interests.
After explaining that "there was no foul play" and that their mother's cause of death "has long been established," it asked for "peace" as they "continue to cope with her loss every day."
