Eerie 'Big Brother' Palm Reading Clip Resurfaces After Lee's Tragic Death

Not only is her final Instagram post gaining traction, but a resurfaced clip from "Big Brother" is making its rounds, and fans are calling it unsettling.

In the resurfaced footage, filmed during Lee's season, the reality star is seen laughing with her fellow houseguests as she recounts an ominous palm reading she received inside the house. Lee explains that housemate Ava Pearl, who casually read palms for fun, told her she had a short lifeline, a detail commonly associated with dying young. At the time, the moment was played for laughs.

"When she read my palm, she said I had a short lifeline," Lee joked in the clip. "I was like, 'Wait, am I going to die?'"

According to Lee, Ava immediately appeared flustered and tried to walk back the comment, responding, "Wait… maybe that's not the right line."

Houseguest Ashley Hollis chimed in during the conversation, recalling how Ava awkwardly shifted gears by saying, "Um, you know… let me do Ashley's."

The group laughed off the moment, but in light of Lee's death, the clip has taken on a chilling tone, with many fans calling it unsettling and difficult to watch in hindsight. "This is so devastating," one viewer wrote, while another simply commented, "Oh my gosh." Others focused on how unsettling the footage feels in hindsight. "So this is actually insane," one person said, as another added, "This is wild. This is wild in hindsight."
