“With profound sadness, the family of Mickey Lee announces her transition on Christmas in the early evening,” the statement posted to Lee’s official Instagram account said. Her family said Lee “captured the hearts of audiences nationwide” during her appearance on “Big Brother” and will be remembered for the joy she brought to fans and loved ones.

At the time, the fundraiser said Lee was in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition, surrounded by loved ones and medical professionals.

Lee became one of the most talked-about contestants on “Big Brother” Season 27, where viewers connected with her authenticity, strength, and competitive spirit. Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, but living in Atlanta, she was known outside the show as an event curator and creative professional.
Lee’s family said she formed genuine connections both on and off screen and left a lasting impression on fans and fellow cast members alike.
“She will be remembered for the joy she brought into the lives of so many,” the family wrote.
No additional details about her death were released.

Everything we know about viral incident
A Frontier Airlines flight was disrupted this week when a passenger erupted in a profanity-filled outburst against a flight attendant, accusing her of bias and “triggering” her, before being calmly removed from the aircraft.
The incident was filmed by another passenger in which it is clearly seen that a woman started curing the crew member loudly.
The passenger repeatedly claimed the flight attendant had “an issue with minorities” and stated she expected “a little bit more kindness and respect.”
The outburst was initiated from a mundane question that was “Are you from Florida?” which the passenger interrupted as disrespectful.
The flight attendant remained poised and confident throughout the exchange. She calmly addressed stating, “I don’t know what you went through today,” and firmly noted, “you’re in control of your own actions.”
After the passenger continued her tirade with continuous shouting profanities in an area with children.
She instructed a colleague to call security and informed the passenger she would be removed from the flight.
Another passenger on the plane, raised his hand in the gesture of solidarity, supporting the crewmember’s handling of the situation.
The cabin erupted in cheers when it was announced the disruptive woman would be taken off the plane.
Subsequently, the passenger was escorted from the aircraft by security.
Industry observers note that while incidents of passenger misconduct occur across all airlines, they are frequently reported on ultra-low-cost carriers such as Frontier.
