Oscar-nominated actor Mickey Rourke was asked to leave the set of “Celebrity Big Brother UK” just days after the show started due to his “unacceptable” behavior towards his fellow contestants. The 72-year-old performer sparked controversy by making inappropriate comments to influencer JoJo Siwa about her sexuality, including threatening to “vote the lesbian out real quick.” Rourke also got into an argument with “Love Island” alum Chris Hughes.
Rourke received a formal warning for his behavior and apologized to Siwa, who was visibly upset by his comments. The tensions between Rourke and Hughes escalated, leading to the actor’s removal from the show, although there were no reports of physical fights.
The incident attracted criticism from fans and fellow celebrities, with Siwa’s mom speaking out about her daughter’s treatment on social media. Disney Channel alum Bella Thorne also accused Rourke of inappropriate behavior, claiming that he injured her genitals on the set of a movie they worked together on.
Rourke, known for his role in “The Wrestler,” was nominated for an Oscar in 2009. His sudden exit from “Celebrity Big Brother UK” has sparked discussions about appropriate conduct and respect towards others, especially in a reality TV setting. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining professionalism and decency in all interactions, regardless of the circumstances.
