MTV Reality Star Killed in Car Wreck

TMZ has learned Kandice Hutchinson, one of the contestants kicked off the upcoming MTV dating show "A Double Shot at Love," died in a car accident a short while after taping her last appearance for the show.

We're told the producers of the show -- which features two bisexual twin sisters (above left ) looking for love -- edited her scenes to remove some of the more outrageous behavior, out of respect for the family. Sources close to the show tell us the producers have been in touch with the girl's family and they are supportive of MTV's plan to keep her in the show.

Launch photosAccording to KDFW in Texas, Hutchinson died on October 21 after her car was rear-ended causing Kandice to be ejected. Police said she died on the scene.

The first episode of "A Double Shot at Love" will be dedicated to her.

151. WOW..I understand that this is america and we all have the opportunity to voice our opinions but some of these comments are just ridiculous..Now I'm not going to sit here and say this young lady isn't responsible for what happened or that her being irresponsible didn't lead to her death but there's no excuse for anyone to applaud or laugh at the fact that she passed away..No matter what you may think about her..she's still someone's daughter, sister, cousin, grandchild and friend..I don't understand how people can sit here and show absolutely no respect or compassion for this young lady or her family..especially being that her family is dealing with this during this time of year..What's even more bizarre is the fact that some of you people are calling her all these hateful names based on how she was portraid on a reality show..Now anyone with a ounce of common sense knows that most reality tv is fake and that the networks try to get people to do crazy things to boost ratings..Most of these people are the total opposite off camera in their everyday lives..I don't mean to preach but I will never understand why people spend so much time and energy writting and saying negative things about a person they know nothing about..To everyone who laughed, made nasty comments about her, thinks it's such a wonderful thing that she died..just know you will all have to answer to a higher power one day..

152. Let me just add that I'm only saying she was responsible for her own death based on reports that she was drunk..

153. 146. I can tell you it is sad for the girls to have to tell people their sister died in a car wreck but, not because they were embarassed of her. She was a good role model to them because she taught them to not pass judgement and be a good friend.

I think it is so sad that all of you people have nothing better to do than get on a "gossip site" and find someone to talk about to make yourselves "feel" better. THIS IS WHAT I CALL SAD!!!!!

I don't know any of us (her friends and family) that just go on websites to talk about someone for no reason. We are on here to defend her........ What a sad life you all must have....

154. I wasted an hour of my life last night watching this show. How disappointed I was to see Kandi as a mean, fat sloppy pig. Singer? Said she was a makeup artist--I would hope she was, as the way she was painted up. YUK. MTV has sunk to a new low with this awful show. Shame on them and anyone that would participate in it.

155. and lo and behold: some ignorant individual had to come back and say something insignificant and hurtful.

thank you for proving me right.

nothing gives anyone the right to be heartless. we didn't say she was a saint. we said she was amazing and meaningful to us. go about your little life and stop with the harsh words. what's the point?

to the rest of us: there's no reason to respond to anything these people say. let them talk their nonsense. they didn't know her. they have to sit on this website and look for gossip columns to give them something to live for. they are free to have their own opinion. let them.

we're better than that. she was better than that.

157. I knew Kandi personally and yes she was wild and bi-sexual..... WHO CARES! What matters is the FACT that she was a beautiful person with a heart of gold and anyone who knows her... is missing a part of themselves now that she is gone. Just because she was on a show doesn't label her a whore... SHE WAS FAR FROM IT. Her mother requested that MTV NOT edit anything about Kandi because that was the way she was... A strong woman that stands her ground and expresses herself.

If you are someone who labels people without ever even meeting them… than you are no better than a piece of trash in the wind. So please, if you did NOT know Kandi....keep your rude and degrading comments to yourself.... have some respect... She deservers respect. Take it from a military wife and mother who knows the value of honor, integrity and the value of a human life.

158. Wow people are so stupid! She was not drunk there is not one report that states she was nor was there any evidence of it also no alcohol showed up in the autopsy! Get a life and let her and her memory rest!

160. To all those who are calling Kandice a whore - how many of you are virgins and plan to be one until you're married? Hmmm thought so...you're all whores too.

A person died...have some respect.

161. You guys are ridiculous! She wasn't just another whore. You knew absolutely nothing about her and it is so disrespectful to put her down, and even more so now that she has passed. Regardless of what she was doing, she didn't deserve to die and you need to grow up a little bit more before you just start posting crap about people you don't even know!

RIP Kandice

162. Kandi was a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. So what if she was drinking & driving..yes it is wrong..but it is still a tradgedy that her life was taken away from one mistake. She had goals in life. She wanted to sing..& also she was a makeup artist..a beautiful one if I do say so myself. She said what was on her mind & stood up for what she believed in. That is a good person if you ask me. I believe a lot of people judged her on her appearance and picked her apart until they saw the end of the Double Shot At Love epidsode..I believe this because I was one of those people. I felt horrible afterwards & I still can't stop feeling bad. It said at the end "she has touched many peoples lives" that is the most true thing I have heard because she did...& she even touched mine..because of that accident..I looked back on the things I said & I feel like a bad person for judging someone I do not know..it made me sit down & think about how people make rude remarks just to be mean..and I was one of those people..but now I see what can happen & just how awful you feel afterwards. She made me realize that we're all people..& it truly matters what is on the inside & not the outside. Her looks most likely would have faded..but her amazing personality would have remained forever. Seriously people, I can honestly say she made me realize to look on the inside of people...and now because of what I had to go through (me feeling absolutely terrible) I am going to try & be a better person by not talking bad about people I never met/talked to & look past on whats on the outside. Kandice is a stunning girl, amazing makeup artists, and will live in my heart forever..because of her accident..she has touched my life...and I believe she is going to start making people a lot better on the inside.
R.I.P. Kandi..you are very missed beautiful.

ps; thank you.

163. ok for all the people who r saying the horrible things they r saying it doesn't matter if she was a whore a tramp a MTV reality star or anything it doesn't matter what MTV did about editing what does matter is the fact that someone died someone's daughter died someone's sister someone's friend died and you don't even know her yet you are all calling her a whore and a tramp saying she desreved to die I understand that she was drinking but nobody desreves to die. I mean someone loved her and now she's gone and she doesn't deserve to be bashed on a website by people that do not know her.
