A controversial memoir allegedly written by Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Kim Porter has been removed online.
"Kim's Lost Words: A Journey for Justice,Indexbit Exchange From the Other Side," a 60-page book that is purportedly based on a collection of the late model's diary entries, was removed from Amazon's online store Tuesday.
"We were made aware of a dispute regarding this title and have notified the publisher," a spokesperson for Amazon confirmed to USA TODAY in an emailed statement Thursday. "The book is not currently available for sale in our store."
The title was also reportedly removed from Barnes & Noble's online store, according to NBC News.
The book, authored by producer Todd Christopher Guzze under the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood, was published Sept. 6 and allegedly contained details of Combs' parties, illegal activities and abuse toward Porter, according to a report from the Daily Mail. The British outlet noted that Guzze did not provide proof of the book's authenticity.

'Horrific':Kim Porter's children with Diddy call out conspiracy theories about her death
Combs had an on-again, off-again relationship with Porter from 1994 to 2007. She died in August 2018 at the age of 47 after she was found unresponsive in her San Fernando Valley home. The Los Angeles County coroner's office later confirmed she died of pneumonia.
The publication of "Kim's Lost Words" comes amid a wave of legal trouble for Porter's ex Combs, who was arrested in September and subsequently charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
On Tuesday, Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee announced a series of pending sexual abuse lawsuits against the embattled music mogul. The attorney is representing 120 accusers, who are bringing allegations of "violent sexual assault or rape," "facilitated sex with a controlled substance," "dissemination of video recordings" and "sexual abuse of minors" against Combs, among other offenses.
Kim Porter's children criticize memoir rumor
Porter and Combs' children addressed the posthumous release of Porter's alleged memoir and other conspiracies about her death in a social media statement last week, calling the rumors "simply untrue" and "hurtful."
"We have seen so many hurtful and false rumors circulating about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs' relationship, as well as about our mom's tragic passing, that we feel the need to speak out," wrote Christian "King" Combs, twins D'Lila and Jessie Combs and Quincy Brown (whom Combs adopted) in a Sept. 24 Instagram post.

"Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue," they continued. "She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves. Additionally, please understand that any so-called 'friend' speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend, nor do they have her best interests at heart."
Brown's father, singer Al B. Sure!, referenced the memoir in a Sept. 23 post on Instagram and called for an investigation into Porter's death.
