'Big Brother' Villains Through the Years: Where Are They Now?

Being stuck inside a house for 99 days with strangers is going to lead to disagreements. There's no denying that. However, some just can't help but cross that line during their time in the Big Brother house, in turn, receiving the title of "villain." While many lean right into it — Dick Donato sure doesn't mind the name "Evel Dick" — others are quick to shoot it down. Jackson Michie, who won season 21 in 2019, was completely shocked by claims of bullying and racism made against him by fellow houseguests Ovi Kabir, David Alexander and Kemi Fakunle. "I know who I am and I know who I’m not, and I respect women more than anything. I’m very abrasive and I have a lot of energy and passion in everything I say and do. And I’m that way towards everyone. And is it right? No. I know that I need to work on it and tone it down in a lot of areas, but I don’t see race or gender or anyone when I’m having a conversation. And if someone upsets me, they upset me the same way that a guy would," he told Entertainment Weekly at the time. "I know that's not right, but it has never been anything about demoralizing or being condescending to women." [jwplayer vKmpuSuH-zhNYySv2] He continued: "It was hard hearing that because I’m an only child and I’m a mama’s boy at heart and I love my mom to death, but I know who I am. And I truly do respect women. I hate that someone may think that out there." For others, although they come off as villains in the house, they still remain fan-favorites. Season 2's Dr. Will Kirby came off abrasive during his time on the show, but ultimately took home the win — and was invited back for an all-stars season. Scroll through the gallery below to get an update on the biggest villains from the series and what they're up to today. [podcast_block]

During season 2, Shannon was generally rude to many of the houseguests, scrubbing a toilet with one of their toothbrushes and implying another was overweight. Now, she works as a paramedic in Florida and is married with two children.

Dr. Will Kirby

Although he's a fan-favorite, Dr. Will (who was in a showmance with Shannon in season 2) was definitely a villain during this time on the show, lying to win and using humor to get anything he wanted. In 2017, he married For Love or Money star Erin Brodie and the pair share two children.

Mike 'Boogie' Malin

Dr. Will's partner in crime was Mike, who had no problem lying and backstabbing to get ahead. He spent the majority of his time laughing at others on the show during confessionals. In 2011, he served as a mentor on VH1’s Famous Food. In 2020, he was bashed by former contestants for making racially-charged comments.

The following year, he was found guilty of felony stalking following an August 2019 arrest.

Evel Dick Donato

Although he won season 8, "Evel Dick" is known as one of the most infamous TV villains. He returned to play in season 13 with his daughter, Daniele Donato. However, he had to leave the show after learning he was HIV-positive. Now, he hosts a Big Brother recap show and has no problem stirring up drama amid other reality shows on social media.

Competing on seasons 10 and 11 of Big Brother, Jessie, also known as Mr. Pec-Tacular, rubbed his houseguests in the wrong way, constantly showing off his body in the house to the core. His narcissism cost him the game. After Big Brother, Jessie became a professional wrestler and still frequently pops up on Big Brother as a special guest. He has two sons.

During season 12, Matt hoped to gain sympathy and votes by telling the houseguests that his wife was sick with a serious illness — a huge lie. Now, he works in special effects.

Rachel Reilly

Rachel met her now-husband, Brendon Villegas, during season 12 of Big Brother — and it's a good thing since the rest of the house despised the pair. She returned for season 13 and ultimately won, regardless of causing a ton of drama in the house and crying a ton. She has competed on multiple reality shows since Big Brother. She married Brendon in 2012 and welcomed a daughter, Adora, in 2016. They welcomed baby No. 2 in November 2020.

Although season 15 included quite a few villains, Aaryn tops the list as one of the least-liked contestants, making many controversial and seemingly racist and homophobic comments. She was booed when she exited the show and later apologized for her offensive statements. Now, she works as a lifestyle YouTuber and is married to Nick Williams. The pair have three children.

During season 18, Paulie was disliked by many in the house and was accused of using and leading on Zakiyah Everette, who he had a brief relationship with. After the show, he went on to appear on Ex on the Beach and The Challenge. He is now in a relationship with Cara Maria Sorbello and living in Montana.

Although Cody found love with Jessica Graf during season 19 of the show, he was extremely disliked by everyone else inside the house, due to his bad attitude. After the show, he and Jessica won season 30 of The Amazing Race. He married Jessica in 2018 and the pair welcomed their first child, Maverick, in March 2019. In 2020, she announced she is pregnant with their second child. He also has a daughter from another relationship.

Jackson Michie

Season 21 winner Jackson was shocked when he found out at the end of the show that he was viewed as a villain after appearing manipulating to his showmance partner Holly Allen. Additionally, he was accused of voting based on race and age, something he adamantly denied. Jackson and Holly continued dating after the show but announced their split in June 2020.
