Mickey Rourke’s Rep Reacts to His ‘Homophobic’ Comments on ‘Big Brother’


Mickey Rourke faced criticism and a warning from 'Celebrity Big Brother UK' producers after making controversial comments toward JoJo Siwa

Later in the episode, Rourke reportedly told costar Chris Hughes that he was “going to vote the lesbian out real quick.” When Siwa overheard his remarks, she replied, “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.” The actor, 72, made his debut on the U.K. game show on Tuesday, April 8, alongside stars including JoJo Siwa, but his behavior with Odudu, 37, is what caused the biggest stir. In a comment on Celebrity Big Brother UK ’s official Instagram, Chrishell Stause — who is married to non-binary musician G Flip — expressed her support for Siwa.
