Rourke, known for playing Randy “The Ram” Robinson in “The Wrestler,” drew criticism on the British reality television show for his comments to influencer JoJo Siwa and getting into an argument with “Love Island” alum Chris Hughes.
“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,” according to a statement from ITV’s “Celebrity Big Brother.”

The 72-year-old performer first sparked drama in the house when he approached Siwa, 21, and asked if she “likes girls or boys.”
Siwa, who has been open about her sexuality, responded that she likes girls and the “Angel Heart” performer snapped back with a shocking statement.
“If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore,” Rourke told Siwa.
“I can guarantee I will still be gay and I will still be in a very happy relationship,” Siwa quipped.
“I’ll tie you up,” Rourke replied and then said he planned to “vote the lesbian out real quick.”

Housemate Chris Hughes defended the “Karma” singer and told Rourke, “You can’t stay that.”
The “Sin City” actor received a formal warning for his behavior and apologized to the former child star, the outlet reported.
“I want to apologize,” Rourke said. “I’ve got a habit of having a short fuse. And I don’t mean nothing by it. I do mean it [sorry]. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t say it to you.”

There were no reports of any physical fights.
The Post reached out to representatives for Rourke, Siwa and Hughes.

The pop singer’s mom, Jessalynn Siwa, spoke out about her daughter’s treatment on Instagram on Friday before Rourke was asked to leave the show.
“Honestly, I’m surprised he didn’t go home,” Siwa’s mom said.
The “Dance Mom” added she was “really sad” that her daughter went to a foreign country “to do a TV show, and she got treated like that right away, right out of the gate. I think she handled it great. I think that everyone’s told me that ‘she handled it so well.’ Doesn’t make it okay; doesn’t make it right. I’m just lucky she can handle herself.”

The reality television star suggested that criticizing her daughter for singing, dancing and her sexuality has “become a culture.”
“Tell her you’ll make her not a lesbian,” Siwa’s mom said. “What next? I just take it for face value.”
On Friday, Disney Channel alumn Bella Thorne spoke out against Rouke’s past behavior, accusing the actor of injuring her genitals while on a movie set.
Thorne didn’t specifically name which film it happened in but the actors only worked together on the 2020 film “Girl.”
“This f–king dude. GROSS. I had to work with this man – In a scene where I’m on my knees with my hands zip-tied around my back,” Thorne recalled. “He’s supposed to take a metal grinder to my knee cap and instead he used it on my genitals thru my jeans.”
