Mickey Rourke has departed “Celebrity Big Brother” after receiving a formal warning regarding his behavior.
On the show’s set, producers cautioned him about the inappropriate language he was using, which ultimately led to his exit from the program.
According to Variety, the “Sin City” star agreed to leave on Saturday, April 21st, following a disagreement with fellow housemate Chris Hughes.
A spokesperson for “Celebrity Big Brother” told the outlet:
“Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behavior.”
Prior to this, the Oscar-nominated celebrity had also received a warning for making inappropriate comments directed towards another housemate, Jojo Siwa.
During the April 9th episode, Rourke inquired whether Siwa preferred boys or girls, to which she responded, “Girls. My partner is non-binary.”
Rourke then stated, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore,” prompting the former Disney child star to reply, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
This incident also follows Bella Thorne’s previous account of her “humiliating” experience working alongside Mickey Rourke as her co-star in the 2020 thriller, “Girl.”
