Who was Kim Porter?

Kim Porter was an American model and actress. Per her IMDB, she has starred in films and TV shows like The Brothers, The System Within, Wicked Wicked Games, Mama I Want to Sing, and Single Ladies.

What did Kim Porter die from?

Porter died in November 2018 at the age of 47 from lobar pneumonia. She and Combs dated on and off for over a decade and had three children together. In an interview in April 2019 with Essence Magazine, Combs called Porter his “soulmate” and revealed her last words.

He said a few days before she died, she had the flu and wasn’t feeling well, so she sent the kids to his house. “One night, I was checking on her, and she was like, ‘Puffy, take care of my babies,’” Combs said. “She actually said that to me before she died.”

When he got the news, Combs said there was “screaming and crying”, but he quickly remembered Porter’s words, and he “jumped into mummy mode” to ensure the children didn’t hear about their mother’s death on “social media or the news”.

Why is Diddy embroiled in controversy right now?

Combs has been accused of sexual assault in four separate lawsuits over the past few weeks. The first was filed in November by Combs’ ex-partner Cassie, who alleged he raped and sex trafficked her during an abusive 10-year relationship.

The suit was settled the next day, but three more have been filed against Combs since then. In the latest, which was filed at the start of December, a woman claims Combs took part in a “gang rape” attack on her when she was a teenager. Combs denied all the allegations in a statement to media outlets, saying he “will fight for my name, my family and for the truth”.

“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he said. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.” He posted the same statement on Instagram on December 6.

What are the conspiracy theories around Kim Porter’s death?

Although the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled Porter’s cause of death as lobar pneumonia, some fans have taken to platforms like Reddit to hypothesise conspiracy theories around her passing.

Per Sportskeeda, Porter’s ex-husband Al B. Sure suggested that her death was the result of foul play.

RadarOnline also added that Porter reportedly told Sure that she was “running” and he supposedly said “call the FBI”. However, these claims haven’t been verified by external media sources.

In another report published this month, conspiracies began surfacing around Kimora Lee Simmons being a potential target of an attack orchestrated by Diddy, per Yahoo! Entertainment. The Baby Phat founder revealed that a fire had broken out in her Los Angeles home, weeks after netizens began speculating that Simmons and the rapper were engaged in a newly relit feud. Simmons was a close friend of Porter, states the source.
