Mickey Rourke Called Out For Cringey, Homophobic Cracks At JoJo Siwa
HuffPost
"Celebrity Big Brother" producers swiftly warned Rourke his comments could get him kicked off the reality show.
Mickey Rourke’s crude comments about “Celebrity Big Brother” housemate JoJo Siwa have put him at risk of being booted from the show.
The American actor was put on notice after lobbing several homophobic remarks at former Nickelodeon sensation Siwa, who famously broke from her hyper-girly persona when she came out as queer at age 17.
In a clip posted to the “Big Brother” U.K. TikTok, Rourke, 72, can be heard awkwardly talking to Siwa, 21, about her sexuality as they made their way to the backyard to join several other housemates.
After the “Dance Moms” alum told Rourke she was attracted to “girls” and was currently dating a nonbinary person, he joked, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”
Laughing off the Oscar-nominee’s creepy comment, Siwa said, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay, and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
