Mickey Rourke‘s facing expulsion from “Celebrity Big Brother” after making a series of offensive comments … including firing off a gay slur at JoJo Siwa.
The actor was pulled aside in the house to speak in the Diary Room … with ‘Big Brother’ telling him the show found the language he used “unacceptable.”
Earlier in the episode, Mickey asked Siwa — who came out as gay in 2021 — if she liked boys or girls. When JoJo said her partner was nonbinary, Mickey replied she wouldn’t be gay anymore if he stays longer than four days … basically claiming he could turn her straight.
Rourke later said he planned to “vote the lesbian out real quick,” and later he said he needed a “f**.” He then turned to Siwa and said he clarified he didn’t need her … instead wanting to light up a cigarette.
‘Big Brother’ issues Mickey an official warning, and Mickey apologizes … insisting he’s just trash-talking his opposition.
Rourke then leaves the room and tells his housemates he got in trouble … and, many of them point out his words might not seem like a big deal to him — but, they hurt JoJo’s feelings, for which Rourke directly apologizes.
MR’s already courted controversy during his run on the show … facing criticism after he grabbed and then ogled host AJ Odudu — prompting her to tell him to knock it off.
Looks like Rourke’s safe for now … but, he doesn’t seem to be making many friends in the house.
