Mickey Lee, a contestant from the most recent season of Big Brother, is in intensive care after suffering a series of cardiac arrests, a sudden medical emergency that has prompted a public fundraising effort and renewed scrutiny of life after reality television fame.
According to a GoFundMe set up by organiser Kori Smith, Lee is currently in ICU in 'critical but stable condition'. The update says she has been surrounded by medical professionals and loved ones following the cardiac events, while warning that her recovery is expected to be long and challenging. The seriousness of the situation, combined with the public appeal for financial help, has surprised many fans who watched her on prime-time television just months ago.
