Mickey Rourke leaves Big Brother British after being warned for aggressive behavior

Mickey Rourke, 72, left Celebrity Big Brother, Big Brother’s British version with famous participants on Saturday (12). The actor would have been initially warned for aggressive behavior and later invited to leave the program for production, according to the Daily Mail.

The actor protagonists of films such as “9 1/2 weeks of love” (1986), “Sin City: The City of Sin” (2005) and “Sin City: The Fatal Lady” (2014), caused controversy in the program with homophobic and misogynous lines. Rourke’s expulsion from reality has gained great repercussion on social networks.

He was charged with homophobia by former starring Jojo Siwa, admittedly lesbian, after stating that he would “take the lesbian out of the program quickly” and make derogatory comments about his sexuality. In addition, seeing actress Donna Preston wearing an aesthetic care LED mask, she questioned the usefulness of the accessory. When he was informed that the goal was to “take care of neck wrinkles,” he said, “I can’t see the results yet,” which was considered a misogynic attitude.

After being called to the confessional, Rourke was warned by production: “His language is offensive and unacceptable.” The actor immediately apologized: “I had no malicious intentions, I was just talking bullshit. If I offended, I apologize.”

The situation worsened after a discussion with host Chris Hughes. According to the tabloid, Mickey Rourke bothered what he considered a disrespectful look and reacted with intense verb provocations. After a new conversation at the confessional, the actor agreed to leave the show. According to reality rules, participants receive cache of the participation, but the value may be reduced or canceled if the exit is voluntary.
