Mickey Rourke is currently navigating quite a tangled web involving a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $100,000 without his consent. The actor recently took to Instagram to declare his frustration, labeling the crowdfunding effort a “scam” and emphasizing that he has no clue how it got started. Now, Rourke’s attorney is on the case, working diligently to ensure that every donor gets their money back—amounting to around $90,000 still needing to be refunded.
This whole ordeal comes on the heels of Rourke facing eviction, and while he initially found himself in a bit of a predicament, he’s turned things around by securing a new apartment in Los Angeles and fielding offers for work in Hollywood. Who would’ve thought that from eviction fears to Hollywood gigs, Rourke’s life would take such a wild turn? It’s not every day that a mix-up like this leads to a new beginning—life’s full of surprises, isn’t it?
