“Before going into Big Brother, I was addicted to Xanax, struggled with Adderall and cocaine, and I took my last Xanax less than two days prior to moving into this show,” Michie revealed in a TikTok video on Friday. “At the age of 23, I literally went through Xanax rehab, post-surgery recovery (for a ‘stress-induced blood clot’), on national television for 100 days and beat 15 people to be the winner of Big Brother 21.” Michie revealed in the same video that he is now "proudly drug-free," adding: “I don’t want to go back down the same paths that I’ve been down and live the same life that I’ve lived.” ALSO: Big Brother loses casting director Robyn Kass, who's been finding contestants for the show since 2001.
