Controversial contestant Mickey Rourke has sparked outrage on Celebrity Big Brother after making homophobic comments to 21-year-old contestant JoJo Siwa. During an episode, Rourke told Siwa that if he stayed longer in the house, she “won’t be gay anymore” and made other inappropriate remarks. The incident led to Rourke receiving a formal warning from Big Brother.
Viewers have called for Rourke to be removed from the show, with many finding his behavior disturbing and unacceptable. The incident has highlighted the importance of respect and inclusion training for all housemates and the need for appropriate behavior and language in the house.
Despite the controversy, the show continues to air on ITV and ITVX, with Rourke’s representatives declining to comment on the situation. The incident has sparked a conversation about the treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals on reality TV shows and the responsibility of producers to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all contestants.
