Burgess also allegedly claimed that Kim Porter, Combs’ ex and mother of four of his children who passed away in 2018, gave him a copy of her memoir along with videos showing Combs “sexually assaulting inebriated celebrities and minors.” Combs’ attorneys stress that Burgess and Combs have never met, and Burgess has no connection with Combs’ family.
Combs’ lawyer Erica Wolff previously told PEOPLE that the memoir is “fake,” “offensive,” and “a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy.” Combs and Porter’s four children also refuted the claims of the memoir before it was removed from Amazon.
Combs included Mitchell in the lawsuit as she filed multiple lawsuits against him, such as one on behalf of an adult entertainer who claimed to have been sex trafficked by Combs. The lawsuit notes that although Mitchell hasn’t served these lawsuits, she has talked about them extensively in the media.
