Mickey Rourke Slams Bella Thorne’s Claim He ‘Bruised’ Her On Set

Mickey Rourke has denied Bella Thorne‘s startling allegations of on-set misconduct and harassment that allegedly left her with bruised “genitals.”

Through a rep, the actor stated that he “adamantly denies any intentional misconduct,” adding that he was left in the dark about any such concerns during filming.

Mickey Rourke came under fire from fans recently due to a homophobic remark he made involving JoJo Siwa.

Rourke and Thorne starred in the 2020 revenge thriller “Girl,” where he played the local sheriff and Thorne, the lead character. The actress accused him of harassing her on set before going on to slam the way he approached his work.

In a statement shared with Variety, a representative for Rourke said they are “aware of the statements made by Bella Thorne regarding her experience on set with Mr. Rourke during the production of a past film.”

“These allegations are extremely serious. Mr. Rourke adamantly denies any intentional misconduct,” the statement continued. “He was not made aware of any such concerns during filming and had no prior knowledge of Ms. Thorne’s discomfort until now.”

Rourke’s rep noted, “Out of respect for all parties and given the gravity of the claims, Mr. Rourke will not be making further public comment at this time. He remains willing to cooperate with any appropriate inquiry through the proper channels.”

“We affirm the right of every performer to feel safe and respected in their work environment,” the rep added.

Rourke’s response comes after Thorne took to social media to slam the “Angel Heart” actor following the uproar he sparked while appearing on ITV’s “Celebrity Big Brother.”

In what she described as “one of the all-time worst experiences of my life,” the actress claimed Rourke “bruised her genitals” when he continually smashed a metal grinder into her crotch instead of her knees.

“This f-cking dude. GROSS,” she wrote, alongside a screenshot of an article on Rourke. “I had to work with this man – In a scene Where I’m on my knees with my hands zip-tied around my back.”

She continued, “He’s supposed to take a metal grinder to my kneecap, and instead, he used it on my genitals [through] my jeans. Hitting them over and over again.”

Thorne added that she “had bruises on my pelvic bone” and working with the veteran actor “was one of the all-time worst experiences of my life working as an actress.”

In another social media post, Thorne narrated how Rourke made her “uncomfortable” and “humiliated” her on the set of the film.

“So many gross stories of things he made me go [through] on that movie, including in his last scene to speed up and rev his engine so he could cover me completely in dirt,” she explained. “[I don’t know] I guess he thought it was funny to humiliate me in front of the entire crew.”

“Having to go in his trailer absolutely alone because he refused to speak to the director or producers – so I had to convince him to show up and complete his job, as he shouted crazy demands that he wanted from the producers,” Thorne continued.

“In fact, I had to beg. Alone. In his trailer. Since the movie could not be finished without him. Everyone’s work would’ve just been lost and completely for nothing,” Thorne said, noting that she was “uncomfortable.”

However, the actress “did what [she] was asked to do and what was best for the movie.”

“Mickey should’ve never put anybody in that movie in any of those positions that he did,” Thorne added.

Thorne’s accusations come after Rourke sparked controversy with a homophobic comment towards JoJo Siwa on the set of “Celebrity Big Brother.”

The “9 1/2 Weeks” actor called Siwa a “f-g” and asked her if she “like girls or boys?” to which she replied, “Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary.”

He then claimed he would be able to “make her straight,” saying, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”

Siwa replied, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay, and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”

Rourke persisted, saying he was “going to vote the lesbian out real quick” if everyone had the chance to vote somebody out.

Siwa overhead the comments and made sure to register her displeasure with him, saying, “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning,” as Chris Hughes defended her, telling Rourke he “can’t do that.”
