On November 8th, Jeremy G told Smaack that her sister called and said there was a family emergency, and that Smaack needed to leave immediately. G said that her sister had called a couple weeks prior and tried to pull her off the show for "cultural reasons." Production gave her the choice to stay, but she ultimately packed her bags and left.

Smaack gave a small update on her Instagram story a few hours after she left the house.[2]
Trivia[]
- It was Vance who invited Smaack onto the show, as they are both involved in the Seattle music scene.
- She was the last contestant to leave Famous House before it was revealed to be Fishtank.
- It was suspected that a fan told Smaack's sister the true nature of the show, and that is why she called to get Smaack off.[3] It is unconfirmed if this was the real reason.
