JoJo Siwa Criticizes Mickey Rourke's Homophobic Comments on CBB

Mickey Rourke faced backlash on Celebrity Big Brother after making homophobic comments towards fellow contestant JoJo Siwa. During an episode, Rourke questioned Siwa's sexuality and implied he could change it, stating, 'If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay anymore.' Siwa responded assertively, affirming her identity and her non-binary partner. Following the exchange, Rourke received a formal warning from the show's producers, who reminded him of the rules regarding unacceptable behavior. Rourke later apologized for his remarks, acknowledging their potential offensiveness. Siwa subsequently nominated Rourke for eviction, calling the decision 'pretty easy' after the incident.
