Celebrity Big Brother bosses have been forced to intervene after a shocking row broke out between veteran actor Mickey Rourke, 72, and popular singer-songwriter JoJo Siwa, 21.
The explosive exchange occurred during a heated discussion about LGBTQ+ issues, with the 72-year-old star making several “homophobic” slurs towards his younger opponent. In a stunning admission, Rourke claimed he could “turn her straight” if she allowed him to.
The confrontation was sparked after Siwa, who has been open about her own struggles as a young woman in the entertainment industry, expressed her support for the LGBTQ+ community and its right to equal treatment. Rourke, however, took exception to her stance and launched into a tirade of insults that left many in the house stunned.
“I’m not trying to be mean-spirited, but I just don’t think it’s right that people are flaunting their sexuality all over the place,” Rourke said, his voice dripping with disdain. “And as for you, Siwa, I’ve seen the way you dress and carry yourself – you’re a girl who knows how to turn heads, and I’m not sure you need to be labeling yourself like that.”
Siwa was visibly shaken by Rourke’s remarks and tried to defend herself, explaining that her support for LGBTQ+ individuals wasn’t about flaunting their sexuality but rather advocating for the right to live freely without fear of persecution.
But Rourke would have none of it. “You’re just a kid, Siwa,” he sneered. “I’ve been around the block a few times and I know what’s best for you. If you let me, I can turn you straight in no time.”
The comment was met with gasps of shock from fellow housemates, who quickly rushed to support Siwa and condemn Rourke’s remarks.
“It’s not about being ‘straight’ or ‘gay’, it’s about respecting people’s right to be themselves,” Siwa said, her voice trembling. “And if you think you can change someone’s sexuality with a simple spell, then I’m afraid you’re living in the 18th century.”
The row has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many calling for Rourke to be removed from the show.
