Mickey Rourke's Unruly Departure from the Celebrity Big Brother House

In a stunning turn of events, actor Mickey Rourke was ejected from the 'Celebrity Big Brother UK' house over the weekend due to his shocking use of inappropriate language and behavior that crossed the line of decency. The 72-year-old exited mere days after making headlines with remarks that were deemed homophobic towards fellow contestant JoJo Siwa.

The Controversial Comments That Sparked Outrage

The drama unfolded on Wednesday's episode when Rourke questioned Siwa about her sexuality, directly asking if she preferred girls or boys. When Siwa confirmed she was in a relationship with a woman, Rourke brazenly asserted that he could change her sexual orientation, saying, "If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore." Siwa firmly shot back, "I can guarantee I will still be gay and I will still be in a very happy relationship."

Escalating Tensions and Defensive Reactions

Rourke's comments didn't stop there; he suggested he would "tie [Siwa] up," further escalating tensions in the house. Fellow contestant Chris Hughes quickly stepped in, reminding Rourke, "You can’t say that," as Siwa became visibly upset and emotional over Rourke's disrespectful remarks. When Siwa overheard Rourke state he would "vote the lesbian out real quick," she responded, "That’s homophobic."
