After Saying He’d Tie JoJo Siwa Up To Turn Her Straight And Making A Young Housemate Cry With Inappropriate Sexual Comments, Mickey Rourke Is Pursuing Legal Action Against 'Celebrity Big Brother'
HuffPost
In addition to telling JoJo Siwa he would tie her up to make her straight, Rourke reduced a young housemate to tears when he made shocking sexual comments about her — leaving most of the female stars uncomfortable in his presence.
On Saturday, the news broke that Mickey Rourke had been removed from the UK’s “Celebrity Big Brother” house after repeated instances of “inappropriate language” and “unacceptable behavior.”
His removal came just days after the ITV reality show had launched, and the 72-year-old Hollywood actor had already sparked outrage for a series of anti-gay comments that he made about JoJo Siwa earlier in the week.
In uncomfortable scenes, Rourke asked 21-year-old Siwa if she liked girls or boys, she replied: “Me? Girls. My partner is nonbinary.” In response, Rourke said: “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”
Siwa remained calm as she retorted: “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay, and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship,” but Rourke horrified viewers when he hit back with: “I’ll tie you up.”
Soon after, Rourke told former “Love Island” star Chris Hughes: “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” and when he was called out on his comments, Rourke used the F-slur while motioning toward Siwa and saying: “I’m not talking about you.”
