Keke Jabbar, a reality TV personality from Love & Marriage: Huntsvilledied. She was 42.

LaTisha Moore Scott, a cast member on the OWN reality series and Jabbar’s cousin, shared a post on social media.

“In this moment of grief, we ask for RESPECT and PRIVACY as we process this great loss!” Scott shared on Instagram. “This is hard on our family!!!!!”

Jabbar’s death was reported by YouTube vlogger Marcella Speaks, who read a statement from the family saying the reality star died “peacefully at home surrounded by love.”

“She was a mother, a sister, a great friend, full of life, love and laughter. We will miss her dearly,” Speaks said.

Jabbar and Scott were infamous for their feud throughout their lives on the reality TV series. Their strained relationship was caught on camera, and there were tense moments too.

In a scene from one of the final seasons, Jabbar and Scott were the protagonists of a confrontation that ended with Jabbar throwing a drink in Scott’s face.

Earlier this year, Jabbar was accused of using hard drugs and using another person’s urine to pass a drug test.

“I have never taken hard drugs,” Jabbar said in Love & Marriage: Huntsville Reunion after being confronted by the show’s producer, Carlos King. “I’ve never done anything, heroin, cocaine, crack… I’ve never done anything like that.”

King then asked Jabbar if she had been sober throughout filming, to which she replied yes.

Love & Marriage: Huntsville follows three influential African-American couples who have been friends for a long time and who join forces to revitalize the thriving city of Huntsville, Alabama through their joint real estate venture, The Comeback Group.

King’s Kingdom Reign Entertainment produces the Love marriage Franchise, with ITV America also acting as producer.
