Big Brother 27 houseguest Mickey Lee has passed away at the age of 35 after suffering from a series of cardiac arrests, her family announced today on Instagram.
Dear Big Brother Community, especially those who knew @Mi55y,
This one hurts deeply to write. I’ve received word that our friend, Melissa “Missy” Ziegler, has passed away. I don’t have details on what happened, but I’m asking everyone to lift her family and friends in prayer during this heartbreaking time.
Missy was a force in our community, a production employee with RealPlayer and RealNetworks, an interviewer for exit Houseguests, and the heart that hosted behind so many Big Brother wrap parties. She was one of the people who helped bring the Live Feeds era to life.
I was blessed to be close with her during the Big Brother 10 days. We built forums together, I created & crafted art for all of our pages together, shared every update on all Social Media platforms, and spent so many late nights FaceTiming, messaging, and laughing as we tracked everything happening on the feeds. We posted on every platform we could; Periscope, YouTube, & good ol' Vine… it was our world, and we lived in it together.
My message to Missy:
Missy, I love you so much. You were always in my heart, no matter how much time passed. I’ve carried the weight of our distance for years, how one man’s comment, opinions, and lies pulled us apart makes me so sad. You meant the world to me. What we built together was real, and you were always my #1 in this entire wild Big Brother journey.
I wish I had told you this sooner. I wish I had found the strength to reach out, to apologize, to bridge the gap we let form. I’ve missed you for a long time, more than I can put into words. I hoped we would find our way back to each other. I hoped we’d laugh again, create again, be us again.
Now I can only say these things from here, with a heavy heart.
Thank you for everything you were, to me, to your family, to this community. I’m holding your beautiful children, your husband, your family, and all your friends in my prayers.
Until next time, my friend.
I love you.
Your friend forever,
JLala
