Police arrested a former contestant on Big Brother regarding a theft charge in Lewisville, Texas, but she claims it is a case of retaliation by a former business associate.
Autumn Daly, who was on the show in 2001, was arrested in June regarding an outstanding warrant for theft, TMZ reported Monday.
When authorities located the woman at a store called Encore! Encore!, which she owns, Daly confirmed she had warrants for her arrest. She reportedly said she was working on them but had not wrapped them up at that time. Therefore, she was arrested.

We reached out to Autumn for comment and she tells TMZ … “It’s a retaliation attempt on the part of a former business associate who sued me in civil court and lost. It won’t stick and I’m in the process of suing them for $500K as well, so best I don’t say anything further.”
Daly appeared on the second season of the show and was the third person removed from the house after living there for several weeks during the competition.

The report noted that “A year ago the man was involved in a short high speed chase with officials from the Lake County, Illinois, Sheriff’s Office when they tried to arrest him for indecent solicitation of a child.” However, he was eventually located and taken into custody in Clearwater, Florida. Authorities charged him with three felonies.
In 2023, Breitbart News reported that a member of the UK’s cast of Big Brother came out as a transgender woman and admitted he would use the £100,000 prize to have “designer vagina” surgery.
