A Hollywood Nightmare: Bella Thorne Speaks Out

Bella Thorne has made headlines after sharing her harrowing experiences working with Mickey Rourke on the set of the 2020 film 'Girl.' Following Rourke's controversial anti-gay comments directed at JoJo Siwa on 'Celebrity Big Brother UK', Thorne felt compelled to unveil the disturbing truth behind their filming.

Disturbing On-Set Allegations

In a series of candid posts on social media, Bella didn't hold back. "Working with Mickey was one of the all-time worst experiences of my life as an actress," she boldly declared. She recalled a particularly traumatic scene where her hands were 'zip-tied' while she was positioned on her knees, stating, "He was supposed to use a metal grinder on my kneecap, but instead, he targeted my genitals through my jeans—hitting them repeatedly."

A Culture of Fear

Thorne's allegations paint a picture of an uncomfortable and fear-inducing environment. She claimed she was often left alone to confront Rourke, who reportedly refused to communicate with the director or producers. "I had to beg him to fulfill his role, alone in his trailer, because without him, the entire film project would be jeopardized," she recounted. Her discomfort was palpable, yet she felt compelled to carry on for the sake of the production and her co-stars.

Standing Up for Her Colleagues

Despite her distressing experiences, Bella emphasized that Rourke’s behavior does not diminish the hard work put in by the cast and crew of 'Girl.' "Fuck Mickey," she stated emphatically. "His actions don’t erase the incredible effort everyone else dedicated to the film. We poured our blood, sweat, and tears into this project, and I'm genuinely proud of what we accomplished."

Awaiting a Response

As the drama unfolds, BuzzFeed has reached out to Rourke’s representatives for a comment, but it remains to be seen how he or his camp will respond to these alarming allegations.

The Aftermath of Controversy

The film industry continues to grapple with issues of conduct and accountability, and Thorne's revelations add fuel to an ongoing conversation about the treatment of artists behind the scenes. How this impacts future collaborations remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Bella Thorne is unafraid to speak her truth.
