Mickey Lee, a contestant from Season 27 of “Big Brother,” is currently in critical condition following several cardiac arrests. The 35-year-old reality star is being treated in an intensive care unit, where she is listed as stable but faces a difficult recovery process.
To manage the rising financial burden of her medical treatment, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched by fundraiser organizer Kori Smith. The initiative aims to help Lee’s family cover expenses not included in their insurance, such as specialized care, rehabilitation, and travel and lodging for relatives. By Monday afternoon, the campaign had already secured over $9,700 toward its $13,000 target.
Smith praised Lee as a “creative force” and a bold competitor during her time on the show, which concluded its most recent run in September. Several of Lee’s “Big Brother” castmates and alumni, including Jimmy Heagerty and Rachel Reilly, have shared messages of support and prayers for her health on social media.
Prior to this sudden medical emergency, Lee, who works as an event curator, had been active online as recently as last week to promote a podcast appearance.
