"Jacky Oh was a loving friend and beloved colleague of the Wild N’ Out cast throughout five seasons. More importantly, she was a tremendous mother to three beautiful children. The BET Media Group extends our sincere condolences to the Smith family, DC Young Fly, B Simone, Nick Cannon, and all friends who loved and cared for Jacky Oh during this difficult time."

Fans were devastated to hear the tragic news of the young mother's death. Although her cause of death is unknown, some fans speculate that it could be surgery complications based on her now-deleted post. One user wrote, “We women got to love us first 100% before we love anyone else. Otherwise we will end up with the most beautiful children and a husband who cherishes us but we will still look in the mirror and not appreciate ourselves. And want more and more looking to being perfect while perfect has been right in front of our eyes the whole time."
