Diddy‘s sons have officially issued a cease and desist for the man responsible for a controversial Kim Porter book. TMZ reports that Christian Combs and Quincy Brown sent the legal order to a man named Courtney Burgess and a woman named Ariel Mitchell, who appears to be his attorney, for Burgess’ book, Kim Porter Tell It All.
The C&D finds Brown and Combs arguing that they are the heirs to Porter’s intellectual properties after her untimely demise in November 2018. And, while there isn’t a flash drive containing or an “original unedited” manuscript of her diary, it would belong to them if there were anything resembling the sort.
Burgess first posted his “tell all” book on his personal Instagram account in early October. Since then, Courtney has gone on a press tour for the text, appearing on radio shows and in interviews to promote it. During these appearances, Burgess has claimed that he received information for his book from sources close to Kim Porter. Christian and Quincy’s cease and desist calls his story “patently false,” and claims that Burgess is actively “misleading the public.”
With the legal filing, the Combs demanded that Courtney Burgess have five days to pull his book off the market, stop making what they perceive to be false statements regarding Kim Porter, and return anything that he may have that belongs to Porter. Additional legal action may be taken if the man fails to do so within the period.
According to TMZ, Burgess recently revealed that his phone had been confiscated, which carried a copy of Porter’s alleged flash drive.
Courtney Burgess had been largely absent from social media since Halloween. However, the man returned on Monday (Nov. 19) and announced that everyone who had previously ordered a book would receive theirs shortly.
