Kim Porter has been laid to rest. On Saturday, in her hometown of Columbus, Georgia, the late actress and model was mourned by hundreds of friends, famiily members and loved ones. Most of them remain absolutely stunned that the 47-year old is no longer with us. As previously reported, Ported died on November 15 after being found unresponsive in her Los Angeles home. The mother of four had been feeling ill enough to call a doctor just the day before, but it’s unknown at this time whether or not said illness played a role in her passing. At this time, we cannot say for certain why Porter died . On a celebrity front, Porter has been written about on websites such as ours because she dated Diddy off and on for 13 years, breaking up for good with the rapper in 2007. The two stayed very close over the years, however, because they were the parents of three kids together. The music mogul was in attendance at Porter’s funeral this weekend, of course, as were the following well-known individuals: – Kimora Lee Simmons. – Tichina Arnold. – NeNe Leakes. – Kandi Burruss. – Lil’ Kim. – Yolanda Adams. – Mary J. Blige. – Faith Evans. Shortly before the sad ceremony got underway, Diddy Tweeted the following message about the love of his life: “Today we lay to rest our ANGEL. Her spirit lives on with us FOREVER!!! We thank you all for your prayers and support. You have no idea how much it means to us. We thank GOD for all of you. #KimPorter. He had previously mourned Porter by leaving another post that read: For the last three days I’ve been trying to wake up out of this nightmare. But I haven’t. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you baby. I miss you so much. Today I’m going to pay tribute to you, I’m going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship. We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates. WE WERE SOME OTHER SHIT!! And I miss you so much. Super Black Love. Beyonce, meanwhile, also acknowledged Porter’s death on Saturday. The Grammy-winning artist honored Kim in a series of touching throwback photos, the first of which appeared to be taken from a yearbook. “Heaven couldn’t wait for you,” Beyonce wrote as a touching caption. According to TMZ, funeral details for Porter included the following: Porter’s golden casket traveled to the ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage. The church was decorated with white roses, many of which adorned the casket. A black and white photo of Porter was also placed near it. A live band and choir performed various musical numbers. “The service was lengthy with many people speaking and performing. The mood was somber but it was also a celebration of Kim’s life with uplifting music and prayer,” a source tells E! News. There was also a public viewing held at the Charles E. Huff International Funeral Home before the funeral commenced on Saturday, as well as a viewing on Friday. Porter is survived by her and the Diddy’s son Christian Casey Combs and twin daughters Jessie James Combs and D’lila Star Combs; along with the model’s father Jake D. Porter, Jr. and her grandmother Lila Mae Star. God broke the mold when he made Kim, there was truly no other woman like her,” Porter’s extended family, including Diddy’s, said in a statement on Friday. “Although her time here on earth was far too short, she lived a life full of purpose and meaning. She was a loving mother and devoted friend. She was the epitome of kindness and grace. “There wasn’t a person she met who’s soul she did not touch. Kim was the type of woman who changed lives for the better. “She will be forever remembered and missed by so many. As her family, we promise to honor her every day of our lives. We love you always.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
Diddy has spoken out for the first time since the stunning death of Kim Porter . As previously reported, Porter passed away last week for unknown reasons. She had been suffering from pneumonia for several weeks and had called her doctor the day before her death because she was not feeling well. At this time, however, we cannot say for certain what caused the passing of the 47-year old actress and model, who dated Diddy off and on for 13 years and who was the mother to three of his kids. According to a 911 call, Porter was in “cardiac arrest” prior to paramedics arriving at her home. She was pronounded dead at the scene. We’ve heard from many sources in the time since, all explaining how close Diddy and Porter remained after their final break-up in 2007 and all describing Diddy as devastated and heartbroken. But, as we said, this is the first time we’ve heard from Diddy on the subject. “For the last three days I’ve been trying to wake up out of this nightmare. But I haven’t,” the music mogul wrote on Saturday, alongside a throwback video of the pair posing together for a pregnancy photoshoot. He continued: “I don’t know what I’m going to do without you baby. I miss you so much. “Today I’m going to pay tribute to you, I’m going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship. “We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates. WE WERE SOME OTHER SHIT!! And I miss you so much. Super Black Love.” This is a screen shot from the aforementioned video Diddy posted: Diddy and Porter were on such good terms after they split over a decade ago that they never formalized a custody arrangement. They were able to work everything out on friendly and flexible terms. “He and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work,” a People Magazine source says. “They were still a family.” The pair were parents of twin girls born in 2006 and a son born in 1998. Porter, meanwhile, was also the mother of another son from another relationship. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Porter’s death in a statement explaining that officers responded to a death investigation at 11:40 a.m. local time in Toluca Lake, California. Once they arrived, they found a female unresponsive at the residence. Her cause of death remains undetermined at this time. Diddy and Porter started dating in the 1990s and ended for good in 2007. Their kids include: Christian, 20, and 11-year-old twin daughters D’Lila Star and Jessie James. Additionally, Combs raised Porter’s eldest child, Quincy, 27. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam The Bad Boy Records entrepreneur is also the father of two other kids – son Justin, 24, and daughter Chance, 12 -whom he shares with exes Misa Hylton-Brim and Sarah Chapman, respectively. He’s often spoke positively of their mothers, and of Porter. “I’ve been truly blessed to have some great, incredible relationships that have afforded me these children by these very strong, intelligent, beautiful black women,” Combs has told People of his exes, adding: “The mothers of my children [are] my best friends. My hat goes off to them.” May Kim Porter rest in peace.

Source: Taylor Hill/David Crotty/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images / Getty Kim Porter’s Death Brings Diddy And Cassie Together Again Diddy has been understandably devastated by the unexpected death of ex-girlfriend Kim Porter . Friday US Weekly reported that the hip-hop mogul was inconsolable over the loss of the mother of three of his children. “Diddy is inconsolable,” the insider says. “Kim’s passing has turned his life upside down.” The source described the former couple’s relationship as still close, even following their breakup: “Kim and Diddy didn’t always see eye-to-eye on things, but their love for their children and the deep respect they had for each other trumped any issue they had,” the source says. “They were on very good terms in recent years. She was a ‘ride or die’ and very loyal to Diddy.” “Kim treated all of Diddy’s children like her own — not just the ones they shared — which makes the situation even more devastating,” the insider tells Us. “Diddy values family over everything in his life. He sees his children as an extension of himself. [They are] his proudest achievement, and he has deep connections to them individually.” Fortunately Diddy has been able to turn to former girlfriend Cassie for support. The pair were spotted together just a day after Porter’s death. Combs was photographed stepping out of a silver vehicle in Los Angeles, casually dressed in red basketball shorts and a black “Do The Right Thing” hoodie. Cassie was also dressed down in a black, oversized sweatshirt, leggings and sneakers. The pair had reportedly split a month ago after dating for 11 years. A source told E! News that the “Me and You” singer “reached out to Diddy” by “sending him a text message checking up on him and expressing her condolences” following the news of Porter’s death. “Cassie reached out to Diddy,” a source tells E! News exclusively,”sending him a text message checking up on him and expressing her condolences.” We’re told he was “pleasantly surprised” to hear from her and “very touched by her thoughtful text.” We’re glad to know that Diddy is surrounded by loved ones. This is obviously a sensitive time and we can understand why Cassie would want to make sure Puff is okay. Diddy posted on Sunday for the first time following Kim’s death. Hit the flip for his words.
For most of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 2, fans have been watching Ronnie get pounded on by girlfriend Jen Harley . The two have a very unhealthy relationship. On Thursday night, however, we were left to wonder whether this muscle-bound reality star stepped out on his violent baby mama and pounded another woman. With his penis. In her vagina. Did he really cheat on Harley ?!? The situation to do so presented itself because Angelina brought along her friend Lindsay (aka “Jewish Barbie”) for a night out with the cast in Jersey. While Pauly D and Vinny most certainly seemed interested in this special guest, Jewish Barbie set her sights on Ronnie from the start. That much was clear. She Twerked for him. She joked about who’s bed she’d be sleeping in that night. She got Ronnie’s mojo going, big time. During these interactions, though, Ronnie was also texting/fighting with Harley. They starting having issues when she sent him photos of his ex (possibly Sammi Giancola?) to show him how happy women were without him. Ouch , right?!? Harley also allegedly told Ronnie she was going to find another guy to raise their daughter — all over text message! Ignoring Snooki’s advice to “pass [Jewish Barbie] off” to Pauly or Vinny, Ronnie decided to tell Lindsay that the group had a hot tub at their place. Once they arrived there, the girls and guys mostly separated. Upstairs, the girls played a game of “F-ck, Marry, Kill,” where Lindsay revealed she was interested in banging Ronnie. D’uh. Meanwhile, the men were downstairs busting Ronnie’s chops about the entire ordeal. They were totally joking around, but when they realized Ronnie was actually considering hooking up with Jewish Barbie,” they tried to talk him out of it. “Women in hot tubs are Ronnie’s Kryptonite, okay?” The Situation told the camera. “When Jewish Barbie comes out in her bathing suit, he will be left powerless.” Yup. That’s exactly what transpired. As the episode came to a close and the credits rolled, Ronnie and Lindsay went to his room and he told her she could sleep in his bed. “There goes my life,” he joked before the the episode faded to black. Elsewhere this week… Snooki thought she was pregnant! She got this idea in her head because she actually vomited after many days in a row of drinking. It’s true: Snooki vomited! “Nicole never throws up,” JWOWW said in shock, leading her and her friend to assume Nicole was expecting. So they ran out to get a pregnancy test. “Me and Jionni are trying to have a baby, so maybe I’m pregnant!” Snooki said to the camera. “If it says no, I’m gonna be really upset. I really want a baby.” (Editor’s Note: Maybe you shouldn’t have been drinking SO hard if you were trying. Just saying/judging.) In the end, the test came back negative, and Snooki was bummed. “Why did I throw up like that?” she wondered, apparently forgetting that she had been gulping down vodka seltzers for four days straight.

Upon passing along the shocking news yesterday that Kim Porter died at the young age of 47 , nearly every outlet referred to the model as Diddy’s ex-girlfriend. And this was an accurate description. But it’s also an incomplete one. According to TMZ, Porter and Diddy may have broken up for good in 2007 (following 13 years of off-and-on dating), but they remained very close in the decade-plus since. This was only natural and logical because they shared three kids together (twin girls born in 2006 and a son born in 1998), but insiders say the relationship went beyond a mere co-parenting arrangement. “They genuinely had love and affection for each other,” TMZ writes. This was evident to anyone who perused Porter’s Instagram page. Just over a week before she passed away, Porter posted a lengthy tribute to Diddy on the occasion of his 49th birthday. These same sources say Porter and Diddy celebrated holidays as a family, vacationed together and simply hung out on a frequent basis. Overall, there was never an extended period of time during which the exes were even on particularly bad terms. Heck, Diddy and Porter never even formalized a custody agreement; they simply worked around each other’s schedules and amicably figured out who would care for the kids when. It really is a tragedy all around. Porter was found dead at her Toluca Lake home Thursday following what appears to have been a cardiac arrest. She had reportedly recently gotten over pnuemonia and had contacted her doctor the day before because she felt ill — but no cause of death has been confirmed as of this writing. Porter leaves behind her and Diddy’s 20-year-old son Christian and 11-year-old daughters Jessie James and D’Lila, as well as 27-year-old Quincy, who’s dad is recorded artist Al B. Sure! “Diddy is devastated and shocked. “He and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work,” a source tells People Magazine, adding: “They were still a family.” That much appears evident. In the wake of Porter’s death, many in Hollywood took to social media in order to express their shock and remorse. Wrote 50 Cent: R.I.P to Kim Porter, I send my condolences to her friends and family. She was loved and will be missed dearly. I know puff is hit right now he loved her for real, soul mate type shit. Chin up puff, Positive vibes only. And Missy Elliott: This is so heartbreaking. Lord please give her kids & her whole family strength. And Tevin Campbell: Totally shocked. Kim Porter has left us. Too young. Nothing but memories of her, my lil bro and I goofing around in the lab with Al B. Heartfelt prayers/condolences to the family especially the kids. Sad. The official account for talk show The Real even chimed in as follows: We are so sad to learn that actress and model Kim Porter has passed away at 47 years old. Our thoughts and prayers are with her children, family, and friends. May she rest in peace. We concur. And we send our condolences to all who knew Kim Porter well.
After the way that Tamra Judge betrayed Shannon Beador , it looks like Shannon isn’t speaking to Tamra . Now, Tamra has given a new interview. In it, she lays all of the blame for her fractured friendship at the feet of Gina Kirschenheiter. In an interview with TooFab , Tamra Judge says that she has now seen a very important The Real Housewives of Orange County scene. She says that it hasn’t convinced her that Gina is anything other than a sneaky saboteur. “To me,” Tamra says. “As I watch it, that’s what I see it like, It’s like, ‘Hey, now we’re friends, let’s team up.'” She is referring to Gina telling Shannon about what Tamra and others had said behind Shannon’s back. “It was really a weird situation,” Tamra shares. “Because she’s never been close to Shannon, ever.” Tamra doesn’t buy it: “So for her to say, ‘Oh, I’m so worried about your mental state,’ but yet, prior to that, all she was doing was shit-talking Shannon?” With those words, Gina drove a wedge between Tamra and Shannon’s friendship. “It wasn’t cool at all,” Tamra says. Tamra is especially critical of Gina’s timing. She says that it was a shady move, “especially when she had [cosmetic eye] surgery a few days prior.” We all saw that Shannon was trying to focus on her recovery at the time. “She just wanted to get her upset,” Tamra characterizes. Gina, in Tamra’s eyes, is just a troublemaker — a troublemaker with no clear endgame. “My biggest thing is like, what was her point of doing that?” Tamra asks. One does wonder what Gina had to gain, because Tamra doesn’t think that she was just trying to be earnest. “She [got close to] Shannon like 15 minutes ago,” Tamra characterizes. Tamra continues: “and all of a sudden, she wants to sit down and say, ‘Hey, let me just tell you what your friends are saying.'” “In Gina’s defense, she did say ‘friends,'” Tamra admits. Tamra says: “but when I got the message [from Shannon], it was more like, ‘Gina said you were saying all kinds of horrible things about my mental state.'” Clearly, Shannon was very distressed at the time. She has been going through so much this year. “And,” Tamra explains. “That’s why I said to Gina, ‘Let me hear your side of the story before I lose my s–t.'” “But her side of the story wasn’t great,” Tamra says. That said, it doesn’t sound like everyone’s still at each other’s throats. Tamra tells TooFab that she and the other Housewives parted ways “on decent terms” after filming the reunion special in October. “Nobody’s fighting,” Tamra claims. “Well, except for Kelly [Dodd] and Vicki [Gunvalson].” We all saw Kelly’s recent assessment of who should and should not return to the series. “It’s funny because neither one of them think the other should be on the show anymore,” Tamra says. “But I think they’re both great for the show,” Tamra notes. “They’re exactly what the show needs.” So, what was Gina’s real motive for speaking to Shannon? Maybe she really was just trying to be a good friend. Her characterization of what the other women were saying didn’t miss the mark by much. That said, chaos for the sake of chaos may have also been a motive. We’re not accusing Gina of being a chaos demon. But she’s a Real Housewife — you know that she wants to come back next season. Proving that she can stir up drama like this sounds like a great way to get a ticket back next season. View Slideshow: Kelly Dodd: Fire Has-Been Vicki Gunvalson! Bish is Past Her Expiration Date!
Kim Porter, the very serious ex-girlfriend of Diddy and the mother of three of the rapper’s kids, was found dead at her home in Los Angeles on Thursday. She was 47 years old. According to various outlets, Porter had been suffering from pneumonia is recent weeks, but her exact cause of death is unknown at this time. And we do not want to speculate. Per TMZ, the police received a call to Porter’s Toluca Lake resident around noon today. The patient was described as being in cardiac arrest at the time of this call. Also per TMZ, Porter had contacted her doctor on Wednesday because she was feeling ill, but we again wish to stress: We do not know the cause of her death at this time. Porter worked off and on as an actress and a model. She and Diddy started dating in 1994 and went through many ups and downs over the course of approximately 13 years, splitting for good in 2007. The former couple remained in each other’s lives, however, because they share three children together: Twin daughters who were born in 2006, Jessie James and D’Lila; along with a son named Christian, who was born in 1998. Porter was also mother to a son named Quincy from a previous relationship. Said rep Cindi Berger to TMZ shortly after the website learned Porter had passed away: “Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time.” Diddy has not yet responded to a request for comment, but we cannot imagine what he must be going through right now. Porter had only just shared a photo of Diddy and their kids (below) on her Instagram page, simply writing “LOVE” as the caption. It’s clear the exes remained close long after their break-up. In honor of the musician’s birthday on November 4, she also posted a close-up of Diddy and wrote online: HAPPY BIRTHDAY @diddy on this day a GENIUS was born ,may you continue to be the Driving Force of ENERGY that GOD created you to be !! Thank you for giving me the best gifts of life our CHILDREN. As word of Porter’s passing makes it way around the Internet, meanwhile, many social media users continue to post notes of sorrow and shock. “This is awful! Praying so hard for her children and her lover ones!! #RIPKimPorter sending so much love to her babies. My God!” wrote Gabrielle Union, for example. And rapper Mase took to Instagram, posted a beautiful photo of Kim and captioned it as follows: “Can’t Believe Someone So Special and Contributed So Much… IM SPEECHLESS you were one of the first to believe in me as artist and believer.” “YOU EVEN VISITED ME IN CHURCH.” And then there was this from singer Tevin Campbell: “Totally shocked. Kim Porter has left us. Too young…. Heartfelt prayers/condolences to the family especially the kids. Sad.” An autopsy to determine the cause of death will soon be conducted, Page Six reports. May Kim Porter rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
