Mickey Rourke Exits Celebrity Big Brother Amid Controversy Over Inappropriate Behavior

Hollywood star Mickey Rourke has exited Celebrity Big Brother after his use of inappropriate language and threats towards fellow contestant Chris Hughes.


Rourke, 72, faced a formal warning just days prior to his departure, following homophobic remarks directed at JoJo Siwa. His continued use of aggressive language prompted his removal from the show, raising concerns about behavior within the reality TV environment.

Rourke, known for his role in The Wrestler, joined other celebrities on the show, but his comments drew backlash from both co-contestants and the producers, leading to the decision for his exit.

Mickey Rourke has left Celebrity Big Brother after facing backlash for "unacceptable behaviour" towards fellow contestants, particularly Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa.

The 72-year-old actor reportedly made threats and inappropriate comments, including remarks deemed homophobic. Rourke received a warning before ultimately agreeing to leave the house after discussions with Big Brother producers.

In recent episodes, Rourke questioned Siwa about her sexuality, making remarks about voting her out due to her being a lesbian. Despite initial apologies, the situation escalated and culminated in his exit from the show, sparking further discussions about conduct in reality TV settings.
