Mickey Rourke Issues Statement on Big Brother Removal: ‘I Did Wrong’

Mickey Rourke had to leave the British version of Celebrity Big Brother due to another instance where he employed offensive speech.

What did Mickey Rourke say about his removal from Celebrity Big Brother UK?

After a heated exchange with Chris Hughes during a pirate-themed challenge on the reality series set, I found myself in a difficult situation, as I was subsequently removed following another altercation with my housemate. It seems that JoJo Siwa’s incident may have been a precedent for what unfolded between us.

In a report from Deadline, Rourke confronts him, saying, “Are you staring at me?” He then warns, “Stop gazing at me like that.” Later, Hughes attempts to lighten the tension by claiming it was just a jest. However, Rourke grows more agitated and retorts, “Stop leering at me! You son of a gun.

As a housemate, I was summoned by Big Brother and given a stern talking-to for my repeated missteps within our living quarters. In the Diary Room, I admitted to crossing a boundary with my actions.

Rourke acknowledged his mistake, stating, “I’m truly sorry. I crossed a boundary, and I understand the consequences of my actions. I admit to acting impulsively due to anger, something I’ve been working on for a long time. I regret not being able to maintain self-control in that moment, and I feel deeply ashamed. There were no physical injuries, but I realize that my outburst may have hurt some feelings or caused discomfort among others. I apologize sincerely for any distress I’ve caused.

Later on, Big Brother chose to exclude Rourke from the residence. In his final address before concluding the series, he expressed remorse once more, admitting his mistakes and feeling embarrassed about his behavior.

In simpler terms, “I acknowledge that it was my mistake, I take full responsibility for it. You see, I have a quick temper which often leads me to upset others unintentionally. I sincerely apologize for causing distress. I feel deeply ashamed of my actions as I realize now that I crossed the line and made mistakes. Essentially, I’m admitting my faults and am trying to improve. In truth, I wish I could just move on from this situation, I wished I could have left yesterday, but it seems I wasn’t given that chance.
