Incredibly sad news in the Big Brother community as BB27 Houseguest Mickey Lee died on Christmas day following a series of cardiac arrests, a result of severe flu infection, per Mickey’s family announcement earlier this week.
Initial reports revealed Mickey was in the ICU after suffering multiple cardiac arrests and a GoFundMe page was set up by family and friends to support her care and hopeful recovery. Unfortunately just a few days later the news was announced by her family that Mickey had passed away at the young age of just 35.
Mickey Lee was the 8th evicted HG of Big Brother 27 and made big splashes in the game that season, notably taking over Rylie’s HOH with her secret power, and then turning on her ally Jimmy in a surprise move that same round of Week 4.
We also learned from comments made by host Julie Chen that Mickey had disclosed to Julie she health challenges after being born with a hole in her heart but no official word on how that may have been part of what led to her death.
The Big Brother community of her fellow HGs and past HGs came out in support of Mickey throughout the week and again in the news of her passing. Such a sad loss for Mickey’s family, friends, and the Big Brother fandom.
Mickey’s family had posted updates and messages through her Instagram page which you can follow @themickeyclee.
