On
Dec.
2,
Simmons
took
to
Instagram
to
share
pictures
of
the
damage
after
a
fire
erupted
inside
her
house.
Several
images
shared
to
the
entrepreneur’s
Instagram
account
Saturday
captured
members
of
the
Los
Angeles
Fire
Department
spraying
water
over
a
smoky
blaze
that
was
located
near
a
fireplace
inside
the
Baby
Phat
founder’s
LA
pad.
In
her
caption,
Simmons
confirmed
that
she
and
her
kids
were
“fine”
following
the
incident.

“My
house
caught
fire.
The
kids
and
I
are
all
fine,”
Simmons
wrote. “I
cannot
express
the
deepest
gratitude
to
the
numerous
battalions,
ladders,
and
units
that
attended
to
us
for
many
hours
today
and
quite
possibly
saved
our
lives,”
she
added.
“THANK
YOU!”
The
womenswear
entrepreneur
is
a
proud
mother
of
five
children.
Simmons
shares
daughters
Ming,
23,
and
Aoki,
21
with
her
ex-husband
Russell
Simmons.
The
busy
matriarch
is
also
a
mother
to
son
Kenzo,
14,
with
ex-boyfriend,
Djimon
Hounsou,
and
son
Wolfe,
8,
with
her
estranged
second
husband
Tim
Leissner.
In
2020,
Simmons
adopted
her
son,
Gary,
10.
After
the
fire
news
hit
social
media,
some
netizens
on
Instagram
speculated
whether
Sean
“Diddy”
Combs
had
anything
to
do
with
the
blaze
due
to
his
alleged
beef
with
the
fashionista.
Social
media
detectives
pointed
to
a
2004
article
from
New
York
Magazine
in
which
writer,
Phoebe
Eaton,
mentioned
an
incident
where
Combs
allegedly
threatened
to
hit
a
then-pregnant
Simmons.
“There
was
a
nasty
cloudburst
when
Kimora
said
something
to
Combs
and
he
threatened
to
hit
her,”
the
article
alleged.
Simmons
added,
“And
I
was
pregnant!
The
moron!”
Combs
“eventually
got
down
on
his
knees
in
public
to
apologize”
for
his
outburst,
the
article
claimed.
After
Cassie
filed
her
explosive
assault
lawsuit
against
the
famous
record
exec
in
November,
Simmons allegedly
shared
a
cryptic
Instagram
message
about
the
eyebrow-raising
case.
“As
you
sow,
so
shall
you
reap,”
she
wrote
along
with
a
heart
emoji.
The
timing
was
too
coincidental
for
social
media
sleuths,
who
littered
blog
posts
about
the
blaze
with
theories
that
Diddy
might
have
done
it.
We
even
spied
a
comment
saying
authorities
may
need
to
“COMB”
through
all
of
the
evidence.
Here
are
a
few
comments
that
stood
out
to
us.
Do
you
think
Kimora
will
clear
the
air
about
whether
this
was
a
case
of
an
accident
or
arson?
What
do
you
think?
Is
there
something
fishy
going
on?
