They continued in part, addressing speculation that “foul play” was a factor in Porter’s death, and asked that fans “respect our request for peace.“Porter died in 2018and a coroner later determined hercause of death was lobar pneumonia.

Combs' attorney Erica Wolff also previously told PEOPLE thatthe memoir is “fake,““offensive” and “a shameless attempt to profit from tragedy.”

Wolff called out Chris Todd (real name Todd Guzze), who self-published the book under the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood.

“Chris Todd has no respect for Ms. Porter or her family, who deserve better,” Wolf told PEOPLE. “Unlike the fabrications in his sickening ‘memoir,’ it is an established fact that Ms. Porter died of natural causes. May she rest in peace.”

A source also previously told PEOPLE that Porter’s family was “exploring all their options,” specifically regarding legal action against the publisher.

At the time, Todd doubled down on the validity of the book, addressing himself in third person, and told PEOPLE , “Do you think Chris Todd would risk his ass and rep on something that was fake??Number one on Amazon.”

Combs is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centerafter being denied bail twicewhile heawaits trial. His next court is scheduled for early this month.
