Rourke’s Big Brother appearance ends in controversy after inappropriate comments
Mickey Rourke entered Celebrity Big Brother UK on April 7 alongside JoJo Siwa, Chris Hughes, and Trisha Goddard. The season quickly descended into controversy.
Early in the show, Rourke targeted pop star and influencer JoJo Siwa with inappropriate questions about her sexuality. He asked if she “likes girls or boys,” to which Siwa answered, “girls.”
Rourke then reportedly made a disturbing remark: “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.” Siwa immediately stood her ground and responded, “I’ll still be gay and in a happy relationship.”
Rourke escalated the encounter by saying, “I’ll tie you up,” and later added, “I’ll vote the lesbian out real quick,” referencing Siwa’s potential eviction. The comments caused visible discomfort among the cast.
Housemates react as tensions rise inside the Celebrity Big Brother house
Love Island star Chris Hughes stepped in, telling Rourke, “You can’t say that,” as tensions boiled over.
Producers quickly intervened and issued Rourke a formal warning.
Following the incident, Rourke apologized. “I’ve got a habit of having a short fuse,” he admitted. “I don’t mean nothing by it. I do mean it [sorry].”
Despite the apology, conflict between Rourke and Hughes intensified. Eventually, Rourke was asked to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house.
JoJo Siwa’s partner, Kath Ebbs, spoke out afterward, labeling Rourke a “weasel” and supporting Siwa’s reaction to the confrontation.
Mickey Rourke shares surprising story about alleged Secret Service visit
In an April 11 episode, Rourke made a surprising claim while nominating MP Michael Fabricant for eviction. He used the moment to speak critically about politics.
“He’s a politician,” Rourke said. “They promise one thing, then do the opposite. Politics isn’t honest or truthful.” He then recalled a run-in with the U.S. Secret Service.
“I got myself in hot water back in the U.S. for comments I made about someone I won’t name. It wasn’t funny when the Secret Service showed up.”
Rourke’s past comments about Trump resurface following Big Brother remarks
This isn’t the first time Rourke has mentioned the Secret Service. In a 2022 interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, he referenced a similar incident.
“They call it the United States of America, but it’s now the Divided States,” Rourke said. “There’s one big reason, but I won’t say it.”
When Morgan asked what caused the Secret Service visit, Rourke replied, “Take a wild guess,” eventually confirming the remarks were about Donald Trump.
Rourke added, “It was the truth,” but declined to elaborate further, only saying, “Read my mind.” He has previously called Trump a “garbage can president” in 2018.
