Marie, who was born in Galloway, New Jersey, has been able to impact the TikTok community through her love for dancing, and even though her account is private, she's garnered over 240,000 followers.

Her fans, after learning of her death, have begun dueting her TikTok videos as a way of paying tribute to the star. Besides dancing, the TLC star also had a special place for video games, and as stated in her obituary:

"She loved to spend her free time with her friends and family."

She also had a dream to one day open a dance studio for the less fortunate. TLC viewers got to experience Marie and follow her weight loss journey on the show.

Marie started her journey on the TLC show weighing 700 pounds, but while there, she did not lose the weight that she was intended to, so she later took matters into her own hands and managed to lose an impressive amount of weight.

After exiting the show, the star sued Megalomedia for mental health issues, drama and stress caused, saying they made her eat huge amounts of food to paint the picture of a person struggling to keep her diet in check.

Others who've sued the production company on similar claims include David Bolton who featured on season 6, sued the company for negligence, saying they did not cater to the contestant's mental health.

"The stars are pushed "to the edge of an emotional cliff"
