Earlier this year, Jabbar faced accusations of using hard drugs and getting outside help to pass a drug screening.
“I’ve never taken any kind of hard drug,” Jabbar said on the Love & Marriage: Huntsville Reunion after being questioned by Carlos King, the show’s producer. “I’ve never taken anything, heroin, cocaine, crack… I’ve never taken anything like that.”
King also asked if Jabbar had been sober throughout filming the series; the reality star said that she was.
Love & Marriage: Huntsville follows three high-powered African-American couples and longtime friends as they come together to revitalize the thriving city of Huntsville, Ala. through their joint real estate venture, The Comeback Group.
