Mickey Rourke received a formal warning on the U.K.’s “Celebrity Big Brother” reality show for offensive and unacceptable comments made to contestant JoJo Siwa. Rourke asked Siwa about her sexual orientation, to which she replied that she is a lesbian. Rourke then made inappropriate jokes implying he could change her sexual orientation and used a homophobic slur in conversation with other cast members. Siwa called out the behavior as homophobic, prompting Rourke to apologize and explain that he was only joking. After being warned by Big Brother about his language, Rourke apologized to Siwa and they shook hands. The incident resulted in Rourke reflecting on his behavior and acknowledging his short fuse. The situation highlighted the importance of standing up against offensive language and behavior. Rourke, Siwa, and ITV have not commented on the incident. The incident serves as a reminder that words can have a lasting impact and that it is important to remain respectful and considerate of others at all times, especially in a public setting like a reality TV show.
