Why Her Mother's Story Was Shared
After the episode aired, McKee provided some insight as to what went into the episode. When her passing first occurred, some viewers wondered if MTV would actually show the events leading up to Douhit's final days. McKee said it was what her mother wanted.
"My mom chose to let @mtv share her story so she could inspire all of you to know God loves you, you are important, and to #alwaysbekind because we are not promised tomorrow," she wrote on Twitter. "Let's choose today to not be sad, but be happy this world got to have her impact."
