Mickey Rourke Gets ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ Warning After JoJo Siwa Calls Out His ‘Homophobic’ Comments
Mickey Rourke has received a formal warning on ITV’s “Celebrity Big Brother” after JoJo Siwa accused him of making homophobic comments about her.
The two are currently starring on the U.K. version of the series and an exchange between them on Wednesday night’s episode went awry, leading to the warning for Rourke. According to the BBC, 72-year-old Rourke asked if 21-year-old Siwa was romantically interested in boys or girls, to which she said: “Girls. My partner is nonbinary.” He then replied, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.” Siwa told Rourke: “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
The actor and former boxer then made a comment that he was “going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” which Siwa overheard. “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning,” she responded.
