Evel Dick with a guitar he donated to charity signed by former BB houseguests.

Many of you are wondering why Evel Dick Donato has left the Big Brother house. CBS did not really explain the reason behind Evel Dick’s departure on Wednesday night’s Big Brother episode, but Dick himself released a statement  via a video for Reality TV Zone to clear up some false rumors about his exit.

In summary–this was not a planned strategy to give his daughter Daniele an edge even though Daniele ended up with a Golden Key as a result of Dick’s departure. Here are excerpts from Dick’s statement:

“I wanted to address my departure from the BB house to stop all of the speculation and b******t rumors floating around the internet once and for all.

I wasn’t kicked out, I wasn’t put in jail, I wasn’t diagnosed with cancer, my mother, my son and my girlfriend weren’t in any kind of accident or caused me to leave the house in any way shape or form.

My brother wasn’t killed, I don’t even have a brother … all these rumors are just out of hand.

I would really like to apologize to CBS, the producers of the show, my daughter, my alliance, the other cast members and as well to all the fans.

I know you all are diappointed, as am I. This was very unexpected and was not planned in any way, shape or form.

I went into the BB house with the sole intention of winning the game and becoming the first two-time winner of BB. Nothing less would do for me. That was the goal, not making the jury, not bailing out, anything else. I was there to win.

I had a very good start in the game and was very happy with my position in the house, with my alliance and with my position within my alliance. Things were rolling very well and I couldn’t have imagined a better start.

People, friends, family and fans who know me know I would have never, ever left the house if it could have been avoided … I’m not a quitter, I’ve never quit anything and why would I leave, if it wasn’t for something important.

I was summoned the Diary Room and the producers gave me some bad news about somebody I was very close with. Actually, they didn’t even come on to the PA in the Diary Room, they came inside the Diary Room.

It was an emergency that required my immediate attention. There was no second thought. I had to leave and they understood completely.

I thank them for their understanding and their concern, it means a lot to me. As a matter of fact, they’ve contacted me a number of times since leaving to see how I’m doing and make sure everything is OK.

I really do appreciate how they’re helping me out.

I had no idea about any of this. Bottom line is sometimes things in life happen that mean a lot more than being on a TV show. Some things in life give you perspective about what’s really importantand this is one of those.

Sometimes people need you and if you’re true to them, you do everything you can for them. This person needs me and I’m there for them no matter what.

I am going to respect their privacy and am not going to say anything else about the situation.”
