Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa will be left in tears this evening over a horrifying slur by Mickey Rourke. The Hollywood star and boxer’s journey in the house hasn’t gone smoothly so far.
On launch night, he horrified fans with the way he looked at AJ Odudu in her catsuit as he entered the house. Since it aired on TV, AJ’s friends and co-stars have shared their concerns for her but she has insisted she is fine.
Mickey finds himself at the centre of trouble again tonight when he uses a homophobic slur when referencing JoJo. During a chat tonight, he asks JoJo: “Where’s the smoke room? Where’s the cigarette room?,” before then asking: “Do you like girls or boys?”
“Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary,” JoJo replies, before Mickey says: “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.” JoJo then replies: “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
As he heads into the garden, Mickey asks Chris if they get to choose who they vote out. He tells the Love Island star: “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.” JoJo overhears and replies: “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.”
“You can’t do that Mickey,” Chris then warns Mickey but he doubles down on his comments. He then says: “I need a fag,” before gesturing to JoJo and saying: “I’m not talking to you.” Chris then interjects and says: “Mickey, you can’t say that.”
“I know. I was talking about a cigarette,” Mickey then replies, and JoJo is left upset by his comments as Chris comforts her. Big Brother then calls Mickey to the Diary Room and warns him not to do that again.
Big Brother tells him: “Mickey before you entered the Big Brother house the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you … Mickey, do you understand how this language could be offensive to your Housemates or the viewing public?”
“Yeah I think so. If I was saying it in a nasty kind of way or if I truly meant it,” Mickey then replied, with Big Brother saying back: “Mickey, Big Brother thinks your language was offensive and unacceptable …
“As a result, Big Brother is giving you a formal warning. Further language or behaviour of this nature could lead to you being removed from the Big Brother house. Mickey, do you understand?”
Mickey then says: “Yes I do. It’s some serious stuff …. I apologise. I don’t have dishonourable intentions – I’m just talking smack you know. I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean in it any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.”
