Mickey Rourke has found himself embroiled in controversy as he denies setting up a GoFundMe page created to help him avoid eviction. The actor, who described the situation as“frustrating”and“embarrassing,”insists he would never ask for charity. While the page has raised over $102,000, he remains puzzled about who was behind it, claiming he values his independence too much to reach out for financial help from fans.
Rourke took to Instagram to express his feelings, saying he’d rather stick a gun up his backside than beg for money. His manager, Kimberly Hines, stepped in to clarify that the page was set up as a kind gesture by someone close to him. She emphasized that if Mickey doesn’t want the funds, they can be easily refunded. Talk about a classic case of miscommunication!
Adding another layer to the drama, Rourke explained his decision to stop paying rent, citing a lack of repairs from his new landlords. It’s safe to say that this wild ride is not just about finances but pride as well. In the world of celebrity, when it rains, it pours—the question is, how will Mickey weather this storm?
