Mickey Lee, a contestant on ‘Big Brother’ season 27, died on Christmas Day, her family shared. She was 35.
“With profound sadness, the family of Mickey Lee announces her transition on Christmas in the early evening,” her relatives posted to IG.
According to a GoFundMe made for her earlier this week, Mickey — who was from Jacksonville and was living in Atlanta — had been in the ICU after suffering a “series of cardiac arrests.”
“Mickey captured the hearts of audiences nationwide through her appearance on ‘Big Brother’, where her authenticity, strength and spirit left a lasting impression on fans and fellow cast members alike,” the family’s statement continued. “She will be remembered for the joy she brought into the lives of so many and for the genuine connections she formed both on and off screen.”
Mickey’s fellow ‘Big Brother’ alums are paying their respects to the late reality star, with Rachel Reilly posting, “She will always be remembered and I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know her for the short period I did- she shared so much light with us and was such an amazing soul.”
