Some fans were surprised that Big Brother 19 winner Josh Martinez is not competing on the current season of All Stars. We now know why.
Earlier this week, Josh himself revealed that he would not be competing and to not listen to any rumors about him.
Josh was invited to quarantine with other contestants to possibly compete this season, but TMZ is now reporting that one of his numerous COVID-19 tests during the two week isolation period came back positive. It’s being speculated that it was actually a false positive, as every single other test he took after was negative.
A source told TMZ “the one positive was enough to scare producers who felt it was too risky to put him in the BB House with the other contestants.” He does not have the virus and has been seen out in Los Angeles with friends.
Be sure to check out all of the contestants competing this season.
Don’t believe everything you read online most of the rumors about me have been false. To be honest I’m bummed that I’m not on but couldn’t be more grateful with everyone over at CBS for always being so great, supportive, & being part of completely changing my life for the better.
