Premiering on OWN in 2019, Love & Marriage: Huntsville “centers around the lives of three high-powered African-American couples who come together to revitalize the thriving city of Huntsville, Alabama, through their joint real estate venture, The Comeback Group,” per OWN’s website. Jabbar and Scott joined the series in 2023, the pair notably feuding during their time together on the show. In one scene, Jabbar threw a drink at Scott’s face.
Jabbar’s passing comes after she was last active on social media in May. On May 22, the reality star marked a special occasion as her oldest son Amaree graduated from high school, writing, “My first born graduated from high school yesterday and it was such an emotional experience. I didn’t expect 18 years to go by this fast! We’re so proud of you Amaree. Go shine like the star you are!!!”
Her most recent post was shared on May 26 when Jabbar posted a video announcing her swim wig line while celebrating Memorial Day weekend family. Following the news of Jabbar’s, tributes and condolences have flooded the comments section of the clip, with one person writing, “Rest In Peace KeKe.” Another follower commented, “I didn’t know her but I’m heartbroken that she passed away. My condolences to all who loved her.”
