Kim Porter, Mother of Diddy"s Kids, Dead at 47

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.

Jenelle Evans: Did She Abandon Her Kids to Go on a Cross-Country Drug Run?!

Jenelle Evans has been involved in so much ridiculous behavior over the years that you might think there"s no way she could shock you at this point.

But apparently, the Teen Mom 2 star is intent on proving you wrong.

The last two months may have been the most bonkers of Jenelle"s life — which is really saying something.

And if a new report is to be believed, she decided to cap the whole thing off by ditching the kids and embarking on a drug-fueled cross-country odyssey.

Check it out:

1. Road Warriors

Jenelle and David have decided to ditch their responsibilities and hit the road. It’s like Easy Rider, except instead of hippie bikers, it’s a pair of negligent parents.

2. Traveling Twosome

Jenelle and David have made several stops on their road trip, including a visit to the Grand Canyon.

3. Taking Their Time

They seem to have a lot of time on their hands for two people with a bunch of kids at home (including one who’s homeschooled) but we digress.

4. Goin’ Back to Cali

It’s David and Jenelle’s time in California that’s attracting the most attention — and drawing some major suspicions.

5. The Timing

For one thing, California is being consumed by historic wildfires at the moment, so it’s a bit of an odd time to take a trip there.

6. To Be Fair…

Jenelle and David didn’t know that would happen at the time they planned the trip, so they can’t really be judged for the awful timing.

Thomas Ravenel: Evil Kathryn Dennis is Using Our Kids Ratings & Fame!!

Last month, Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis filed to amend custody of her two children following the arrest of baby daddy Thomas Ravenel.

Though Thomas is facing a criminal trial, he’s also making time to fight this custody filing.

Thomas is alleging that Kathryn is only making this move to get better ratings — and that Bravo put her up to it.

RadarOnline got their hands on some documents from Charleston Family Court.

Thomas is suing, but he’s not aiming directly at Kathryn.

Instead, the disgraced former politician is suing Bravo and production company Haymaker Media, Inc.

Thomas claims that they “encouraged, condoned and/or gave Plaintiff express or implied consent to initiate a lawsuit against the Third Party Plaintiff.”

This suit being, of course, “for custody of Plaintiff’s and Third Party Plaintiff’s minor children.”

“The Plaintiff filed and was encouraged to file this lawsuit,” Thomas’ team alleges.

And they say it was done “for the express or implied purpose of providing material for the filming of Season 6 of Southern Charm.“

Thomas is trying to stop Bravo from airing any footage of Kathryn’s kids. Even though it’s a reality show and she’s their mom.

“The Third Party Plaintiff requests that this Court enjoin the Third Party Defendants,” the suit says.

The papers continue: “from disseminating and/or airing any Season 6 and/or otherwise unaired video footage which features the minor children.”

Thomas wants no footage relating “in this matter and/or which directly or indirectly concerns the minor children, this litigation, and/or the custody dispute.”

He specifies that the dispute is: “between the Plaintiff and the Third Party Plaintiff.”

“And,” the papers say, he wants this footage to remain unaired on Bravo “permanently.”

Thomas is also asking the court to force the defendants to pay all attorney fees.

“Defendant is informed,” the suit claims.

“And believes it is not coincidental that Plaintiff initiated this litigation during the filming of the next season of Southern Charm,” the documents conclude.

Kathryn Dennis is a reality star.

While she’s not literally always filming, she does spend a lot of her life during periods when she’s filming.

That is how the reality business usually works.

Thomas should know that — he spent five years on the show that he’s now suing.

If there is a special component to Kathryn’s timing, it probably has less to do with reality television.

It probably has more to do with Thomas Ravenel’s arrest in September for assault and battery.

The arrest stems from harrowing accusations from Nanny Dawn, one of two women who have come forward to accuse Ravenel of rape.

Kathryn insisted that she was going to avoid directly commenting on the allegations at first.

(She did manage to get a 50/50 custody split around that time, very quietly)

But an arrest is much more difficult to gloss over for the sake of one’s shared children.

Kathryn very likely seeks to limit how much her very young children are exposed to what’s sure to be a highly publicized trial.

It was the month following Thomas’ arrest that Kathryn filed to amend their custody arrangement.

There is doubt that Thomas’ team’s argument that Kathryn’s sinister plot to have custody of her own children is a ploy for ratings.

It seems more likely that, at “worst,” she cynically figured that right now — while he’s facing trial — may be her best shot at getting custody.

If Thomas ends up going to prison, she’s a shoe-in for custody anyway.

But if Thomas avoids prison time or is acquitted, she may never have this good of a chance in court again.

And again, how much of their father’s trial do Kensie and Saint really need to be exposed to?

We’re no legal scholars, but some wonder if perhaps Thomas doesn’t believe that he has a real chance of blocking Bravo from filming.

It may be that he hopes to instead plant a seed of doubt in family court about Kathryn’s intentions.

If he can successfully portray his ex as an opportunistic glutton for fame, the court may be less inclined to see things Kathryn’s way.

But the guy who’s about to face trial for rape is going to have an uphill battle to convince anyone that he’s the good parent.

Thomas Ravenel Accuses Kathryn Dennis of Exploiting Kids for "Marketability" and Fame

Thomas Ravenel continues to prove that he’s simply the worst.

We doubt anyone familiar with the former Southern Charm lead would argue this point, but please allow us to explain why it must now be emphasized once again…

As previously reported on The Hollywood Gossip, Kathryn Dennis recently filed to amend her ongoing child custody agreement with Ravenel.

The stars are no longer together, but they will forever be parents to a four-year old daughter named Kensie and a nearly three-year old son named Saint.

Dennis filed these papers and asked a judge to grant her full custody of the toddlers after Ravenel was arrested for sexual assault.

Obtained by People Magazine, the documents accuse Ravenel of relying “upon the use of full-time nannies” to care for his kids, while also referencing the pair of sexual assault allegations brought against him.

Dennis also alleges that Ravenel “has drunk alcohol to excess, mixed with prescription drugs, that has caused him to be impaired during periods of time in which he had custody of the children.”

She says plenty more as well.

Dennis claims her ex of exhibited “periods of impulsive and uncontrollable bouts of anger” and “extreme narcissism and anger management problems.”

Moreover, Dennis went after Ravenel’s most recent girlfriend, Ashley Jacobs, writing that he encouraged her to “verbally assault and attack” Dennis on the Bravo series, something for which Jacobs has actually apologized.

On November 6, responded to these scathing claims.

He actually filed a counterclaim, strongly denying all of Dennis’ allegations and accusing Kathryn of acting “in bad faith.”

Ravenel doesn’t believe Dennis actually cares about the well-being of her kids or that she really thinks Thomas is a bad influence on them.

Instead, Ravenel writes in his official reply that Dennis filed her complaint “for the purpose of garnering media attention, creating material for her storyline on Southern Charm and ensuring her marketability as a reality TV star.”

Indeed, there’s simply no way Dennis would want to keep her kids away from someone accused by two women of rape, right?

She must have a self-centered motive and simply must be making these claims to advane her own career.

(That second sentence was written with sarcasm, in case you couldn’t tell.)

In his filing, Ravenel allegsd that Dennis’ attempt to seek primary custody was “for the sole and/or primary purpose” of securing her role on the Bravo program and “progressing her storyline as the ‘rehabilitated mother who regains possession of her minor children.’”

(Dennis lost custody of the kids and entered rehab in 2016 after she failed a drug test. She has since earned back 50/50 custody.)

It’s hard to get much more cynical than that.

Ravenel even says that the producers of Southern Charm encouraged Dennis to seek full custody in order to have “dramatic material for next season.”

No one from the network has responded to this charge just yet.

Ravenel is asking the court to issue a restraint prohibiting Dennis from discussing their litigation on the show, on social media and with the press.

He’s also asking the court to prohibit their kids from being filmed or featured on Southern Charm.

Ravenel is saying all of this just days after a South Carolina judge found probable cause for second-degree assault and battery charges against Ravenel stemming from an incident in 2015.

A nanny who worked for the star has said on legal record that Ravenel “corralled” her into his master bedroom at that time, dropped his pants, blocked the door and “proceeded to rip my clothes off.” 

She doesn’t explain how, but the nanny says she managed to extricate herself from the situation before anything further took place.

Ravenel has denied this claim and has said he will not return to Southern Charm for Season 6.

Jill Duggar: I Love Derick Dillard More Than I Love Our Kids!

So Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard …

Things have been pretty weird for them lately, huh?

Well, they’ve been weird for years, but that’s just how things go in Duggar relationships.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that things have been different.

It all started several months ago when rumors began swirling that Derick was cheating on Jill.

The rumors started with anonymous claims about his unfaithfulness, then when Duggar fans and haters began to notice, that’s when things really started heating up.

And Jill and Derick haven’t done too much to fight those rumors — quite the opposite, actually.

A couple of months ago, Jill shared a photo of her bible, and everyone quickly noticed that she had an entire passage about adultery highlighted.

In the caption of that photo, she wrote that she was praying for Derick, which … not a great sign.

Last month, she shared another photo of more reading material — this time, she had a book about boundaries and creating them with toxic people in your life.

Interesting, right?

But now, in a brand new post, she’s changing her tune a bit.

And it sure is nauseating.

Along with the photo, she wrote a sickeningly sweet caption that she kicked off with a “man of my dreams” hashtag.

(Sad dreams, Jill, but OK.)

She then thanked him “for being my man and my best friend!”

“Love you!” she continued. “When I count my blessings, you’re at the top of my list!”

“So grateful to God for you!”

She wrapped things up with some kiss emojis and a “so in love” hashtag.

For one, it’s kind of strange that she straight up said that Derick is her number one blessing, huh?

Like, “sorry, Israel and Samuel, Mommy loves Daddy more than you.”

For two, pretty much no one was here for this silliness.

“In what universe does a girl/young woman ‘dream’ of marrying a lazy, bigoted, chronically unemployed grifter who drifts from job to job and resorts to GoFundMe scams to support her and her kids?” one of her followers asked.

Another person said that instead of being the man of her dreams, Derick is more likely “a man of your nightmares!”

“I am not really sure what you see in that man,” yet another doubtful fan wrote.

“He is soo full of himself!! The god I believe in would not hate or chastize a person for being gay or transgender.”

Other people pointed out that everything Jill said is really the kind of thing that would be much more meaningful if she actually said it to Derick instead of posting about it on social media.

Still others insisted that she’s just trying to talk him up because everyone hates him.

One of those people said that “Jill has to make him ‘look good,’ it’s a way of being in denial to herself that she is with the wrong person.”

“But she has no choice bc of her family and their values of marrying strangers and arranged at that.”

But whatever her motivations were for posting this, or however mistaken she may be, Derick is still into it.

“Aw, I’m blessed beyond measure by you babe, and I’ll love you forever,” he responded to Jill on Twitter.

“Thanks for being the best wife and mom to our boys! We all love you so much!”

The thing is that no matter what anybody thinks about any of this, and really no matter what Derick does, Jill is never going to leave him.

And how frustrating is that?
