Keke Jabbar, beloved reality TV personality from the hit show Love & Marriage: Huntsville, has passed away at the age of 42.
LaTisha Moore Scott, Jabbar’s cousin and fellow cast member on the OWN reality series, shared the heartbreaking news 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 wrote on Instagram. “This is hard for our Family!!!!!”
YouTube vlogger Marcella Speaks reported Jabbar’s death, reading a statement from the family that said the reality star died “peacefully at home surrounded in love.” The statement described Jabbar as “a mom, a sister, a great friend, full of life, love, and laughter. She will sorely be missed.”
Jabbar’s tumultuous relationship with Scott was a central storyline on Love & Marriage: Huntsville.
Their intense and often contentious interactions were captured on camera, including a memorable scene where Jabbar threw a drink at Scott during a confrontation.
Earlier this year, Jabbar faced allegations of using hard drugs and allegedly using someone else’s urine to pass a drug test. During the Love & Marriage: Huntsville Reunion, Jabbar addressed these accusations.
“I’ve never taken any kind of hard drug,” she told the show’s producer Carlos King. “I’ve never taken anything, heroin, cocaine, crack… I’ve never taken anything like that.”
When asked if she had been sober throughout filming, Jabbar confirmed that she had.
Love & Marriage: Huntsville follows three high-powered African-American couples in Huntsville, Alabama, as they work together on a joint real estate venture, The Comeback Group.
The show is produced by King’s Kingdom Reign Entertainment in collaboration with ITV America.
