Shutterstock for Big BrotherHollywood actor Mickey Rourke left the famous Big Brother after “subsequent use of an inappropriate language” and “cases of unacceptable behavior,” said ITV.
On Saturday, Rourke, 72, used the behavior and language considered threatening and aggressive towards his colleague Chris Hughes, the BBC understands.
No physical altercation took place between the pair.
A few days ago, the star of the winning wrestler of the Bafta received a formal warning From Big Brother for “an unacceptable language and behavior” intended for another roommate, Jojo Siwa.
Siwa accused Rourke of being “homophobic” for having said that he “was going to vote the lesbians very quickly” and make other comments on his sexuality.
Love Island Hughes, 32, had comforted Siwa, 21, in the episode on Wednesday after Rourke’s comments.
A spokesperson for the ITV show said: “Mickey Rourke agreed to leave the famous Big Brother house tonight after a discussion with Big Brother concerning the additional use of inappropriate language and unacceptable behavior.”
The nominated star at the Oscars entered the TV show ITV on Monday alongside the personality of television and social media Siwa, Hughes and 10 other celebrities.
According to a Transcription published by ITV before the episode of Wednesday eveningRourke first asked Siwa if she loved boys or girls. She replied: “Girls. My partner is not binary.”
He then said to her, “If I stay more than four days, you won’t be gay.”
She replied: “I can guarantee that I will always be gay and I will always be in a very happy relationship.”
He then comments on the vote, and apparently referred to a previous conversation on the smoking area when he said: “I need a fag”, before calling on Siwa and adding: “I am not talking to you.”
After being said that he could not say that by Hughes, Rourke said: “I know. I was talking about a cigarette.”
Rourke was called in the newspaper room, where the big brother told him that “the language was offensive and unacceptable” and gave him the official warning.
He replied: “I apologize. I have no dishonorable intentions – I just speak, you know. I didn’t take everything if seriously. I didn’t mean bad intentions and if I did, sorry.”
After going back to the main house, Hughes told her that Siwa “was very upset earlier”, and she informed Rourke that it was “not an acceptable word”.
He said, “I want to apologize. I used to have a short fuse. And I don’t want to say anything by that. I think (sorry). If I didn’t say it, I wouldn’t tell you.”
Siwa replied: “I appreciate your apologies.”
