Controversial actor Mickey Rourke made headlines on Celebrity Big Brother after he reportedly made homophobic comments toward fellow contestant Jojo Siwa. Rourke, 72, was issued a formal warning by Big Brother for his behavior and was eventually kicked off the show after an “unacceptable” altercation with Chris Hughes. The incident was deemed threatening and aggressive, although no physical altercation occurred.
Rourke’s behavior on the show raised eyebrows, with viewers also questioning his views on Donald Trump and his admission that he had been visited by the Secret Service for criticizing the former president. Despite facing eviction, Rourke opened up about his childhood on the show, revealing a vulnerable side that may have saved him from being eliminated.
Throughout his time on Celebrity Big Brother, Rourke also criticized his housemates’ cooking, particularly targeting Patsy Palmer, and expressed his distaste for his own Oscar-nominated film, ‘The Wrestler’. The actor’s controversial behavior and remarks led to his removal from the show, jeopardizing his reported £500,000 fee.
The incident between Rourke and Siwa has sparked a conversation about appropriate behavior and language on reality television. Rourke’s representatives declined to comment on the situation, but the show’s spokesperson emphasized the importance of respect and inclusion among housemates. The series continues to air on ITV and ITVX, with fans eagerly awaiting the resolution of the ongoing drama.
