    Lee, who appeared on season 27 of the CBS reality show, is currently in the intensive care unit after suffering a series of cardiac arrests. Her condition was shared publicly through a GoFundMe page created to help with medical costs.

    It tells us that Lee is in the Intensive Care Unit and is receiving continuous care. It indicates that she is being watched over by physicians and cared for by people she loves.

    Big Brother run and castmate response 

    Lee appeared on season 27 of Big Brother, which ended on September 28. She was evicted on day 59, placing her in the middle of the season’s rankings.

    During the show, Lee spoke about her work as an event curator and her life in Atlanta. The season was won by Ashley Hollis, a 25-year-old attorney based in New York City.

    Even though Lee did not reach the finale, she remained part of post-season discussions among cast members. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly before the finale aired, fellow contestant Cliffton “Will” Williams named Lee as the player he most wished had stayed longer among those voted out before the jury phase.

    “Mickey for sure,” Williams said. “Mickey and I were close in the house, and she’s a good friend.” He also mentioned daily life in the house, saying, “She was an amazing cook, and I miss that.”

    The GoFundMe page reflects similar comments about Lee’s relationships. It says she has affected many people through her time on the show and beyond. The family continues to ask for support while Lee remains hospitalized and receiving care.
