Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother UK house after launching a homophobic tirade at fellow housemate JoJo Siwa earlier this week. A spokesperson for the show told Variety, “Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behavior.” After receiving a warning for his comments made to Siwa—including telling her, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore” and vowing to “vote out the lesbian real quick”—Rourke used language that was described as “threatening and aggressive” toward British TV star Chris Hughes, which is what ultimately led to the decision to have him leave the show.
