by

A member of the Big Brother family is experiencing a health crisis.

Mickey Lee, a contestant on the 27th season of the CBS reality show earlier this year, has experienced multiple heart attacks, according to a GoFundMe page created to help with her medical expenses.

The fundraiser organizer, Kori Smith, shared that they are asking for support during a difficult time. Mickey is currently hospitalized in intensive care and is in critical, but stable, condition. While she’s receiving excellent medical care and is surrounded by loved ones, her recovery is expected to be a long and challenging process.

Kori described the Atlanta event curator as full of life, saying Mickey has positively impacted many people with her bravery, strong personality, and memorable time on Big Brother. She urged people to offer Mickey the same care and encouragement now that she needs it.

The 35-year-old was hospitalized recently, just three months after being eliminated from the reality show Big Brother. She lasted 59 days in the competition before being evicted on September 4th.

In the end, Ashley Hollis won season 27, defeating Vince Panaro. The jury voted 7-1 in favor of Ashley.

In an Instagram post during the season finale on September 28th, Mickey reflected on her journey, writing, ‘The Micktator lived, laughed, blinked, and left her mark… what a ride it’s been!’ She continued, saying that while the show is ending, she’ll always cherish the memories, personal growth, and support she received from fans.

As I reflect on everything, I just want to say thank you to all of my incredible fans. Seriously, your support has meant the world to me – from the sweet comments and edits you create, to just being there every step of the way. You’ve truly made this whole experience so much more special, and I feel so seen and supported. I’m so grateful to have you all rocking with me!

Mickey added, “This may be the finale, but it’s only the beginning of what’s next.”

Nikki Bella, known from Total Bellas, shared that one of her breast implants moved after being hit in the chest during a wrestling match with Piper Niven in July 2025.

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, that they would eventually get the issue resolved. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finished her current commitment – essentially, after her ‘boots were hung up’ – she would return to address the problem and make things look good. She emphasized that the situation would improve and that these ‘girls’ would be put to good use in the future, but not in their current condition.

Lupita Nyong’o, known for her role in 12 Years a Slave, received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids – non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus – in 2014, the year she won an Academy Award for her performance in the film.

She didn’t reveal her diagnosis until 2025, sharing on Instagram that she had privately struggled with it for over ten years.

She explained that growing up, many of us are taught to expect period pain and accept it as a normal part of womanhood. This often leaves us dealing with a common issue in silence and feeling isolated.

 

In July 2025, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six revealed she was hospitalized for a hernia. This happened because she had been wearing pants that were too tight, causing a gap to form in her abdominal muscles.

Someone on X – that’s Twitter now, if you haven’t heard – messaged me, asking why I haven’t been posting lately. It totally caught me off guard! I couldn’t help but reply, explaining that about six months ago, I wore these really tight pants and, well, I ended up with a hernia. I’ve been too embarrassed to mention it to anyone, honestly!

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery to fix a nearly ruptured appendix.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain, which led him to the emergency room. He discovered he had a perforated appendix – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

Oh my gosh, I was so worried! Our amazing Racing Louisville midfielder just went down, like, right at the beginning of the game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field. It happened so fast, and I was instantly terrified. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, just before she collapsed. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.

Savannah was given immediate medical attention on the field and taken to a nearby hospital for more tests, according to a statement from the National Women’s Soccer League. They reported that she is currently in stable condition and is alert.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from a cement truck accident he had at age 11 still cause him problems now.

“It’s been incredibly difficult,” Devine shared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast in 2025. “I experience spasms throughout my body, and doctors recently told me I was facing a life-threatening situation—within the last year, actually.”

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying his body has some minor imperfections and isn’t quite working as it should.

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital because of severe back pain. He described being in so much pain that he had to crawl on his hands and knees, and the pain worsened during a recent RV trip with a friend.

He described a lingering tingling sensation in his knees and toes during a March 2025 episode of his podcast, Trading Secrets. He explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he was able to squat 295 pounds, but now he can’t even do a squat, or even stand on one leg without falling. He said it felt like he’d had a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Gina Kirschenheiter, from The Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is recovering well.

In March 2025, the actor from 30 Rock experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

The comedian later posted on social media to explain that he hadn’t been feeling well due to food poisoning, but he was starting to feel better.

In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday celebration for her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a clay pigeon shooting trip when the incident occurred.

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a gun unsafely. Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped her, checked her injuries, and drove her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet came dangerously close to her right eye – less than an inch away.

The Kim Possible actress explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind her eye, and doctors believe it’s too dangerous to try and remove it with surgery right now. She’s being closely monitored by doctors, but currently her vision is normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving, saying she cherished her daughters, husband, family, and friends. Reflecting on the experience, she shared that seeing her life pass before her eyes made her realize how quickly things can change, and urged everyone to embrace their loved ones whenever possible.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, even though it can be harsh, because it helped her figure out what was wrong with her health. After noticing she looked “puffier” and receiving criticism online, doctors began commenting, suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome, a condition linked to high cortisol levels or steroid injections. This prompted Amy to realize she had been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section. She wouldn’t have discovered this without the online attention. Amy was relieved to learn her condition was a type of Cushing syndrome that would resolve on its own, and she’s now healthy – news she called “the greatest imaginable.”

In December 2024, an AHL player suffered a skate cut during a game, requiring 25 stitches to close the wound.

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly developed stroke-like symptoms, initially unable to speak or move the right side of her face. Although these symptoms briefly subsided, she went to the hospital for evaluation. Tests revealed she had suffered a small blood clot to the brain, diagnosed as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). Further investigation at UCLA discovered a hole in her heart, called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Doctors determined the blood clot had traveled through this hole and reached her brain, causing the TIA. Hailey has since undergone a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now recovering well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also experienced one. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the rest of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained that the virus affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on the affected side. He also shared that it had become increasingly difficult for him to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey later told viewers on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well and was going to be okay, expressing her relief that he was fine.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. He explained that while in Atlanta, he suffered a severe headache and asked for aspirin, but then lost consciousness. He doesn’t remember the next twenty days.

Initially, a doctor gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, was worried and took him to the hospital. There, doctors discovered he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

After surgery, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair on May 4th, unable to walk. He then went to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for the prayers he received, saying he needed them all.

The reality TV star said she temporarily stopped breathing while running a mile during the first challenge on the NBC show.

She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, everything went dark, but then she saw light, leading her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where your body essentially starts to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker. While filming the show, she experienced a sudden, severe headache while at the gym. She described collapsing and being violently ill, realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan revealed she had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. She immediately underwent surgery to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she temporarily lost her ability to speak, often muttering incoherently.

After a week, her speech returned, and she was discharged from the hospital a month later. However, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had grown and required a second surgery. This procedure was unsuccessful, leading to a major bleed and a dire prognosis. Doctors had to perform a more invasive surgery, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia reports that she has now made a full recovery and is doing well.

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, credits her family with helping her through a difficult time. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and immediately reached out to her loved ones, who quickly came to her aid. She told TopMob News’ Will Marfuggi in December 2024 that they “just came to my rescue.”

Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to other health issues. In addition to recovering from the stroke, she was also dealing with lupus and kidney problems.

Fortunately, Cori is now recovering well. “I’m doing great,” she said. “I just had a little bit of motor skills that I had to work back on. But other than that, I was fine.”

Shailene Woodley struggled with serious health issues throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she described losing her hearing, being unable to walk for more than five minutes without needing to rest for hours, and experiencing constant stomach pain. She faced a confusing array of diagnoses from different doctors. Determined to find answers, Woodley, who comes from a holistic health background and studies herbalism, sought help from both traditional doctors and alternative healers. This search for well-being lasted for ten years. The physical discomfort led to anxiety around food and ultimately, struggles with body image, identity, and feeling comfortable in her own body. Thankfully, after focusing on both her physical and mental health, Shailene is now feeling much better and considers herself very healthy. She’s grateful to be in a good place now.
