Former R&B singer Al B. Sure! sent a cease & desist letter to Amazon to block the sale of a memoir allegedly written by his ex, the late model Kim Porter.
According to Page Six, the book, titled Kim Porter’s Last Words, claims the “Nite and Day” singer slept with Porter and her other ex, Sean “Puffy” Combs.
Porter is pictured with her late mom, Sarah L. Porter, and her son Quincy in 2004.
In his letter, Sure! said the book falsely portrays him having sexual relations with Combs, who is locked up in a federal detention center in Brooklyn, New York.
The book was self-published under the pseudonym “Jamal T. Millwood” on Amazon earlier this month — and has already hit the best-seller’s list on Amazon. The book was written by a man whose real name is Todd Christopher Guzze.
Guzze has claimed he’s not sure if the diary is real or not. He claims he received Porter’s writings on a flash drive from a close friend of hers.
Porter died from double pneumonia in 2018 at age 47.
Sure! sent a cease & desist to former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and current CEO Andy Jassy.
Sure!’s attorney Robert J. Hantman said his client has been “defamed by false and malicious statements published” in the book.
The letter also states, “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 further claims the book, “falsely portrays Mr. Brown as engaging in fabricated sexual conduct, particularly with Sean Combs and the mother of his son, Quincy.”
The letter adds: “By misrepresenting his personal life and fabricating serious, false accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior, these defamatory claims have caused significant damage to Mr. Brown’s reputation.”
Sure! tells Page Six, “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.”
The letter is demanding that the author stop selling the book, and issue a public apology that, “must be clear, unequivocal, and widely circulated.”
