Rourke had received a warning for his earlier outburst and was told he would be kicked out if he continued his behaviour, where he said, “Going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” and then went on to make even more homophobic comments against Siwa.

At the time, the actor had apologised, saying, “I apologise. I don’t have dishonourable intentions. I’m just talking smack, you know. I wasn’t taking it all so seriously. I didn’t mean any bad intentions, and if I did, sorry.”

When news first broke of Mickey Rourke's behaviour towards JoJo Siwa, actress Bella Thorne, who had worked with Rourke in the 2022 movie Girl, took to Instagram to call out the actor and share an incident from the set where the actor deviated off script and physically assaulted her during a scene.

This is not the first time the actor has been accused of inappropriate behaviour on movie sets.
