Bella Thorne claims Celebrity Big Brother’s Mickey Rourke caused ‘bruises on her pelvic bone’
The actors worked together on the 2020 film Girl.
Bella Thorne has claimed that Mickey Rourke caused an injury to her pelvic bone when she was making a film with him, describing him as ‘gross’.
This week, the 2025 series of Celebrity Big Brother launched in the UK on ITV, confirming that the Oscar-nominated actor was in the line-up alongside Michael Fabricant, Patsy Palmer, Chris Hughes and Danny Beard.
On the night of the live launch show, Rourke received backlash for acting ‘inappropriately’ towards presenter AJ Odudu on stage, staring at her and grabbing her before entering the House.
Shortly after the series started, the 72-year-old faced further criticism for homophobic comments that he made against internet personality JoJo Siwa, 21, which prompted a reaction from Thorne, 27, on social media.
The actress shared a screenshot of an article on her Instagram Story with the headline: ‘Rourke warned over ‘homophobic’ remarks to Siwa in Big Brother,’ with the warning occurring days before Friday night’s eviction, where Rourke is at risk of being sent home.
She then posted a comment on top of the screenshot, which began: ‘This f**king dude. GROSS. I had to work with this man.’
