Social media became a breeding ground for sadness on Thursday (November 15) when Kim Porter, veteran model and mother to four of Diddy’s children, abruptly passed away at age 47 after an extended bout with pneumonia.
People magazine obtained a statement from Diddy’s camp which read, “Diddy is devastated and shocked. He and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work,” while adding “They were still a family.”
News of Porter’s passing also touched many players within the music and movie communities and many poured their emotions onto social media as a result.

Rest in power Kim Porter, never caught up in the BS, always sweet. We shared some serious laughs, particularly when we found each other on the same casting call at MTV, amongst a hundred models and actors who were all way more comfortable than we were waiting to audition. ???
