The entertainment industry is mourning the loss of reality star Keke Jabbar, who passed away at the age of 42. Known for her role in “Love & Marriage: Huntsville,” Jabbar’s unexpected death has left fans and colleagues in shock.
Close friend and YouTuber JoAnn Jenkins, who had a close relationship with Jabbar, spoke out to dispel rumors surrounding the cause of death. According to the New York Post, Jenkins addressed the speculations during a YouTube livestream on Wednesday night.
“Keke did not overdose, Keke did not take her own life. Keke loved life. Keke was not ready to leave life. She wasn’t ready to leave her children, her husband, or her family,” Jenkins stated emphatically.
Jenkins elaborated that Jabbar had a tendency to fall asleep unexpectedly and often “go to sleep wherever.” She recounted that Jabbar decided to rest in her car after encountering an issue with it. Tragically, this decision led to her death.
“So, seven-something this morning, her husband goes to the garage,” Jenkins continued. “He sees Keke, what he thinks is asleep in the car. He tries to get her attention. He opens [the car] up. She isn’t breathing,” she explained. “Her husband, her life partner, her best friend tried to bring his wife back, the mother of his children, and he couldn’t. Keke passed from carbon monoxide poisoning. That’s it. That is all,” she added.
The initial announcement of Jabbar’s death came from blogger Marcella Speaks, who read a statement from Jabbar’s family on Tuesday. “It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Keke. She passed away peacefully at home surrounded by love,” Speaks conveyed during a YouTube livestream. “She was a mom, a sister, and a great friend full of life, love, and laughter.”
The family has requested privacy during this difficult time. “She will be sorely missed, and at this time, we are asking for respect and privacy in our moment of grief while we process this great loss,” the statement read. “The Jabbar Family and the Scott Family.”
Keke Jabbar’s vibrant presence and contributions to reality television will be remembered by many, and her loved ones and fans alike deeply feel her loss.
