Jacky Oh's surgeon Dr. Zach previously sued multiple former patients
Late Wild 'N Out star Ms Jacky Oh's surgeon Dr. Zachary 'Dr. Zach' Okhah has sued a number of former patients for claiming in online reviews that he botched their procedures, Page Six reports.
Jacky, whose full name was Jacklyn Smith, died in Miami at the age of 32, TMZ reported on Thursday. She had previously said she was in Miami to have a 'mommy makeover' done in a social media post she subsequently deleted.
Okhah of PH-1 Miami, known as a BBL specialist, sued Leila Penn in July 2021 for more than $30,000 after she alleged the surgeon 'mutilated' her in a review for healthcare marketplace, RealSelf.
Okhah denied her claims in court documents obtained by Page Six and said her statements were 'false' and defamatory.
The website reports he also accused her of encouraging potential patients to get treatments elsewhere by 'directly engaging with' the commenters on the website.

Claim: Okhah of PH-1 Miami, known as a BBL specialist, sued Leila Penn in July 2021 for more than $30,000 after she alleged the surgeon 'mutilated' her in a review for healthcare marketplace, RealSelf
The surgeon dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice in December 2021.
In August 2021 the doctor filed a lawsuit, seen by the publication, for $30,000 against Kyla Neirenburg for stating in a Google review that 'happy patients' of his 'don’t exist.'
She also claimed in a review that patients should read Okhah's reviews on RealSelf because the positive ones were 'likely fake' or written by staff or friends of the surgeon.
Okhah argued Neirenburg's review was defamatory, but the suit was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice in December 2021.
DailyMail.com has contacted Okhah for comment.
