‘Homophobic’ Mickey Rourke attacks JoJo Siwa in shocking outbursts on ‘Celebrity Big Brother UK’

Mickey Rourke attacked JoJo Siwa in a series of “homophobic” outbursts on “Celebrity Big Brother UK.”
The former boxer questioned the “Karma” singer about her sexuality in a shocking preview of Wednesday’s episode.
“Do you like girls or boys?” he asked.
“Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary,” she replied, referring to Kath Ebbs.
Rourke, 72, then insinuated that he could change 21-year-old Siwa’s sexual orientation during their time together on Season 24 of the ITV reality show.
“If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore,” he said to the pop star, who clapped back, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
Elsewhere in the episode, the “Sin City” actor told his castmate Chris Hughes he was “going to vote the lesbian out real quick.”
When Siwa overheard his remark, she hit back, “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.”
Hughes interjected, telling Rourke that he “can’t do that.”
However, the “Wrestler” star then uttered another homophobic slur.
“I need a f-g,” he said before telling Siwa, “I’m not talking to you.”
After Hughes reminded Rourke that he could not use that language in the “Big Brother” house, the Oscar nominee responded, “I know. I was talking about a cigarette.”
Due to his remarks, Rourke was called to the Diary Room and issued a stern warning from the show.
“Mickey, before you entered the ‘Big Brother’ house, the rules regarding unacceptable language and behavior were explained to you,” he was told.
Rourke was then read back his exchange with Siwa and asked whether he understood how it could be viewed as “offensive” to his housemates and viewers at home.
“Yeah, I think so — if I was saying it in a nasty kind of way or if I truly meant it,” he replied.
The “9½ Weeks” star was told that he would be “removed” from the “Big Brother” house if he exhibited “further language or behavior of this nature.”
Rourke ultimately apologized for his actions, saying he did not “have dishonorable intentions” and was “just talking smack.”
“I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean in it any bad intentions, and if I did, sorry,” he added.
Page Six has reached out to reps for both Rourke and “Celebrity Big Brother UK” but did not immediately hear back.
