Lyric Medeiros, a contestant on "Big Brother 28," has admitted to urinating in the show's shared shower facilities, a confession captured on the program's live feeds. Medeiros disclosed to fellow houseguest Mallory Aurichio that she has "peed every time [she's] come in the shower" and stated that she "don't feel bad about it — not even a little bit."
Medeiros' rationale for her actions was that "everyone in this house is out to get me." Aurichio supported Medeiros' sentiment, telling her, "You shouldn't. I wouldn't feel bad either."
The revelation has divided viewers. Some have labeled the act as "nasty" and "extremely inconsiderate," while others have questioned the taboo surrounding showering and urination, suggesting that many individuals engage in the same practice privately.
Around the same time Medeiros' confession circulated, contestant Taylor Brown posted a video detailing her extensive cleaning of the shared shower. Brown stated, "everybody in this house is disgusting," and explained that she had used a toothbrush to scrub the grout between the tiles, noting, "I don't think it was this clean before we got here."
Some fans linked Brown's cleaning efforts to Medeiros' confession, with one commenter writing, "Doesn’t help that Lyric’s peeing in it."
Medeiros is currently up for eviction this week. Earlier in the season, she was involved in a showmance with contestant Rome Seymour, who was later evicted. Following Seymour's departure, Medeiros reportedly aligned herself with fellow houseguest Kamu Kirk to ensure her safety.
Seymour, speaking after his eviction, commented on Medeiros' gameplay, suggesting she use her "cute damsel in distress presence" to gain favor with other houseguests. He described her as "smart" and adept at playing a "cutesy, lovey-dovey self."
Medeiros ultimately voted with the majority to evict Seymour, though he stated he forgives her, acknowledging the competitive nature of the game.
At the start of "Big Brother 28," up to 17 contestants shared the communal shower facilities. The show airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays on CBS and is available for streaming the following day on Paramount+.
