So sad! Dick Donato, AKA ‘Evel Dick’ from ‘Big Brother’ 8, just revealed that in 2011, he was diagnosed with HIV! He will come clean on the Oct. 1 episode of ‘Couples Therapy.’ Watch a sneak peek here.
Dick Donato, 51, is currently trying to make his relationship work with his on and off girlfriend, Stephanie Rogness-Fischer on VH1’s Couples Therapy. However, he reveals in the upcoming episode that the actual struggle is within — and that she didn’t want him to say on the show that he actually has been suffering with HIV.

Wow, this is so devastating. Just days after Frankie Grande found out his grandpa died while he was in the ‘Big Brother’ house, Derrick Lavasseur has learned the EXACT same sad news. With producers breaking the show’s ‘no outside communication’ rule twice already this season, will this affect the show?

And now in an eerie deja vu moment, contestant Derrick Lavasseur found out during the July 26 Big Brother live feed that his grandpa has passed away, too. Is the house cursed? Read on for all the details.
