In a gripping turn of events, Mickey Rourke finds himself facing eviction from his Los Angeles home after falling behind on rent. The ‘Wrestler’ star recently approved a GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising over $59,000 to cover his outstanding rental bill. This initiative was launched by Liya Joelle-Jones, a friend and member of Rourke’s management team, who expressed the heartfelt support he’s received from fans during this tough time.
As reports reveal, Rourke’s financial troubles began when his rent increased from $5,200 to $7,000 per month. Just before receiving a three-day eviction notice, his landlord filed a lawsuit to recover the unpaid rent. The GoFundMe page has raised nearly $29,000 so far, showcasing the compassion of his supporters. While it’s uncertain what the future holds for the actor, Rourke’s situation serves as a stark reminder that even Hollywood stars can face real-life challenges.
As Rourke rides this emotional rollercoaster, one can’t help but wonder—does fame really shield one from life’s hardships?
