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.
