American actor Mickey Rourke caused controversy on a recent episode of Celebrity Big Brother after making homophobic comments to fellow contestant Jojo Siwa. During a conversation where Siwa opened up about her sexuality, Rourke responded by stating that if he stayed longer in the house, she wouldn’t be gay anymore, and also made inappropriate comments about tying her up and using a derogatory term. Following this incident, Rourke was issued a formal warning by the show’s producers.
Viewers and Siwa’s partner have expressed outrage at Rourke’s behavior, calling for his removal from the show. Many feel that his actions were deeply offensive and have no place in the house, despite the programme’s protocols for behavior training of contestants. Rourke’s representatives have declined to comment on the incident.
This incident comes on the heels of other controversial moments involving Rourke in the house. The actor had previously been called out for his behavior towards presenter AJ Odudu and has prompted questions about the level of respect and inclusivity within the Celebrity Big Brother environment.
As the show continues, viewers are left questioning the handling of the situation by the show’s producers and the implications of allowing such behavior to persist on national television. The incident has sparked a larger conversation about tolerance, respect, and acceptance on reality TV shows, and has raised concerns about the responsibility of broadcasters in addressing hate speech and discrimination on their platforms.
