The latest edition of Celebrity Big Brother UK just started, and things have already gone downhill. Hollywood’s Mickey Rourke made some disgustingly homophobic remarks towards Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa.
If the moment had you ready to jump through the screen to defend JoJo, you weren’t the only one. Her partner, Kath Ebbs, was at home watching, and they just dragged Mickey for his inappropriate behavior.
Celebrity Big Brother handed Mickey Rourke a formal warning after JoJo Siwa homophobia
Mickey’s controversial comments included calling JoJo the f-slur and casually joking about tying her up. Plus, he said, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”
Big Brother gave him a formal warning, but Kath? They aren’t giving Mickey any second chances. They took to their Instagram to read him for filth, and we are one hundred percent here for it.
“A lot of people want to know my thoughts on Mickey Rourke, or however the f*ck you say his last name, on his comments towards my partner JoJo on Big Brother and quite frankly it is beyond disgusting and it’s literally taken me many hours to even process what the f*ck I just watched,” Kath began.
They continued, “Not only because that is the literal love of my life and I want to protect her at all costs, and I feel so helpless that I cannot be there to not only comfort her but to also lose it at that f*cking weasel of a man but secondly take the fact out that I have massive emotional stakes in the comments towards her.”
Kath pointed out that Mickey’s behavior went beyond just casual homophobia. They said his comments were “rooted in misogyny and violence.” He tried to pass them off as jokes, but no one laughed.
“He deemed her unf*ckable in that moment and then went if the male gaze is not a part of this situation and I have no power over you sexually, which also no offense Mickey you look like a f*cking foot so you don’t stand a chance with anyone anyway because you’re a f*cking loser,” Kath continued.
Big Brother addressed Mickey’s behavior, but Kath felt like it should have been handled more seriously. She called Mickey a “dangerous person.” However, ITV knew exactly what they were getting by casting him in the first place.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9 p.m. BST on ITV1, ITVX, STV, and STV Player.
