Mickey Rourke has agreed to exit “Celebrity Big Brother UK” following his continued use of offensive language, Variety has confirmed.
“Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behavior,” a spokesperson for “Celebrity Big Brother” told Variety.
Rourke’s exit from “Big Brother” stems from a disagreement between the “Sin City” actor and his housemate, Chris, during a task. No physical altercation took place, but Rourke used language that was considered “threatening and aggressive.”
Earlier this week, Rourke received a warning for inappropriate comments toward fellow contestant JoJo Siwa. He said of Siwa that he was going to “vote the lesbian out real quick.” Siwa overheard his remark and responded, “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.” He also reportedly said, “I need a f–,” in reference to the house’s smoking area, but he then gestured toward Siwa and said, “I’m not talking about you.”
Rourke was then reprimanded in the confessional, where the show told him he would be “removed from the Big Brother house” if the behavior persisted. He then issued the following apology: “I apologize. I don’t have dishonorable intentions. I’m just talking smack, you know. I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.”
Following the incident with Siwa, a spokesperson for ITV said, “All housemates receive respect and inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the ‘Big Brother’ senior team to prepare them for living in the house and to set out ‘Big Brother’s’ expectation for appropriate behavior and language. Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and instances of inappropriate behavior are dealt with appropriately and timely.”
