JoJo Siwa Accuses Mickey Rourke of Inappropriate Remarks on Celebrity Big Brother

During their time on Celebrity Big Brother UK, JoJo Siwa revealed that she was the target of repeated homophobic and inappropriate comments from fellow contestant Mickey Rourke, which were largely not shown on air. Siwa recounted that Rourke referred to her as 'the lesbian,' joked about voting her out based on her sexuality, and made a remark implying she 'wouldn't be gay anymore' if he stayed in the house longer. Rourke also used a British slang term for cigarette in a way that was perceived as a slur and later admitted to intentionally making offensive comments to provoke Siwa. Siwa described Rourke's behavior as 'bizarre' and said the incidents left her shaken, prompting producers to ask Rourke to leave the show. Rourke apologized for his actions before his ejection, while Siwa has since spoken publicly about the experience and is focusing on self-reflection and understanding her identity. The show's producers confirmed Rourke's departure due to his inappropriate conduct.
