Keke Jabbar, a reality TV personality from Love & Marriage: Huntsville, has died. She was 42.
LaTisha Moore Scott, a cast member on the OWN reality series and Jabbar’s cousin, shared a post on social media.
“At this time we are asking for RESPECT, and PRIVACY in our moment of grief, while we process this great loss!” Scott shared on Instagram. “This is hard for our Family!!!!!”
The death of Jabbar was reported by YouTube vlogger Marcella Speaks, where she read a statement from the family saying the reality star died “peacefully at home surrounded in love.”
“She was a mom, a sister, a great friend, full of life, love, and laughter. She will sorely be missed,” Speaks read.
Jabbar and Scott infamously feuded throughout their lifetime together on the reality TV series. Their strained relationship was chronicled by cameras with tense moments among them.
In a scene from a recent season, Jabbar and Scott starred in a confrontation that ended with Jabbar throwing a drink at Scott’s face.
Earlier this year, Jabbar faced accusations of using hard drugs and using someone else’s urine to pass a drug test.
“I’ve never taken any kind of hard drug,” Jabbar said on the Love & Marriage: Huntsville Reunion after being confronted by the show’s producer Carlos King. “I’ve never taken anything, heroin, cocaine, crack… I’ve never taken anything like that.”
King followed up to ask Jabbar if she had been sober throughout filming, which she said she was.
Love & Marriage: Huntsville follows three high-powered African-American couples who are longtime friends come together to revitalize the thriving city of Huntsville, Alabama, through their joint real estate venture, The Comeback Group.
