ALBAWABA - Mickey Lee has died at 35, family confirms.
The family of Mickey Lee, a former "Big Brother" houseguest known for her fun personality and bold gameplay, announced her death. Social media shared the news on Friday. She was thirty-five.
The statement on Lee's official Instagram account read, "Mickey Lee's family announces her passing on Christmas in the early evening with profound sadness." Her "Big Brother" performance "captured the hearts of audiences nationwide" and brought joy to fans and loved ones, according to Lee's family.
Lee had several heart attacks this month because of problems with the flu, so her family and friends started a GoFundMe to get her some help. At that time, the fundraiser said that Lee was in the ICU in a critical but safe state, with family, friends, and doctors around him.
The fundraising page said that the situation was a sudden health problem that put a lot of emotional and financial stress on Lee and her family because of the high costs of going to the hospital and continuing to get care.
Lee was one of the most popular contestants on "Big Brother" Season 27. Viewers liked how real and strong she was and how much she wanted to win. Before the show, she worked as a creative worker and event curator in Atlanta, where she lived, and Jacksonville, Florida, where she was from.
Lee's family said she made real connections with people both on and off screen and that fans and group members will always remember her.
The family wrote, "Many people will remember her because she made them happy."
