Mickey Rourke’s Shocking Homophobic Comments on JoJo Siwa in Big Brother House

BBG News

In the upcoming episode of Celebrity Big Brother, airing on Wednesday night, Mickey Rourke received a caution from the show’s producers due to his use of derogatory language concerning JoJo Siwa that some find offensive and discriminatory.

In an upcoming TV segment, the renowned Hollywood actor, aged 72, is seen conversing with the 21-year-old singer, who openly identifies as a lesbian. The actor suggests that he might be able to change her sexual orientation after they spend some time together in the house.

In a conversation about personal preferences, Mickey queries the influencer: ‘Are you attracted to women or men?’ To which the influencer responds: ‘As for me, I prefer women. My partner identifies beyond the male/female binary.’

Instead of implying that he could alter her sexual orientation, Mickey asserted: ‘If I stay with you for more than four days, your sexual identity will no longer be gay.’

JoJo responds: ‘I can promise you that I will continue to identify as gay, and I’ll remain in a blissful partnership.’

A short while later in the garden, Mickey queries Chris about the rules, as the Wrestler star admits he plans to swiftly vote out the female contestant who identifies as a lesbian.

Yet JoJo overhears as she hits back: ‘That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.’

In response to Mickey’s action, Chris intervenes with a firm tone, saying, “You can’t go on like that, Mickey,” but the star remains unfazed as he continues, “I require some space,” before indicating towards JoJo and asserting, “I’m not addressing you.

In response to Chris stating, “Mickey, you can’t say that,” Mickey clarifies, “I realize it might sound strange, but I was actually referring to a cigarette.

As Chris consoles an obviously distraught JoJo following their conversation, it’s Mickey who gets summoned to the Diary Room, receiving a caution instead.

Before stepping into the Big Brother house, Mickey, it was made clear to you about the prohibited language and conduct.

After that, he repeats the whole conversation to Mickey and asks, “Mickey, is it clear to you how these words might be considered disrespectful to your fellow housemates or the television audience?

Mickey responds: ‘I believe that could be the case. If my response seemed harsh or if I genuinely felt that way.’

Big Brother continues: ‘Mickey, Big Brother thinks your language was offensive and unacceptable.’

Well, I get it now, no worries Big Brother! If my talk or actions continue down this path, I might be asked to leave the Big Brother house, right? Gotcha loud and clear!

Mickey then adds, ‘Yes I do. It’s some serious stuff.’

Influenced by Big Brother, he ultimately admits his apology, explaining that although his words might seem unkind, they are merely empty talk and not rooted in any intention to be disrespectful.

‘I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean in it any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.’

TopMob has contacted ITV representatives for comment.  

Two days have passed since Mickey faced criticism for his behavior deemed as creepy towards AJ Odudu during the debut of Celebrity Big Brother on Monday.

Spectators were shocked as soon as he arrived, the actor was quickly spotted making uncomfortable advances towards the ITV host, who clearly looked uneasy.

The Wrestler star received 89 Ofcom complaints following the awkward interaction. 

Fans admired AJ’s fellow host, Will Best, for shielding AJ when he intervened and prevented Mickey from continuing to hold onto AJ’s arm.

Maintaining a cool demeanor, AJ instructed the actor to “stop focusing on me” and guided both of them towards the exit. However, the actor could be overheard protesting, “No, I’d rather stay with you.

Later on, Will explicitly stated, “Leave AJ behind!” and subsequently, he was spotted holding her hand while showcasing their upcoming live segment together.

Spectators, too, expressed concern by saying, “Now, I’m worried about all the females residing in that home given Mickey’s behavior towards AJ during the live broadcast.

‘I needed a scandal this season and i believe mickey rourke will provide it.’

‘Oh dear. Not a fan of Mickey already after that entrance.’

‘Everyone’s joking about Mickey Rouke and I get why, but I want to be serious for a second.’
