Bella Thorne has accused actor Mickey Rourke of on-set misconduct, following his recent homophobia scandal toward JoJo Siwa on Celebrity Big Brother.

In several social media posts shared on Friday, Thorne alleged there were “so many gross stories of things” that Rourke made her go through while working together. Thorne did not name the project, but the two had previously worked together on the 2020 thriller Girl.  To quote Thorne “This f***ing dude. GROSS. I had to work with this man – In a scene where I’m on my knees with my hands zip-tied around my back. He’s supposed to take a metal grinder to my knee cap and instead he used it on my genitals thru my jeans. Hitting them over and over again. I had bruises on my pelvic bone,” Thorne alleged on her Instagram Story and reposted on her X account later on. “Working with Mickey was one of the all-time worst experiences of my life working as an actress.”

In a separate X post, Thorne continued, allegedly stating, “So many gross stories of things he made me go thru on that movie, including in his last scene to speed up and rev his engine so he could cover me completely in dirt. Idk 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. 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. I didn’t wanna do it. I was uncomfortable, but I did what I 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.”

A representative of Rourke shared with Variety that 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.” The statement reads “These allegations are extremely serious. Mr. Rourke adamantly denies any intentional misconduct,” the statement reads. “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 continued: “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…”

Thorne made these allegations following Rourke receiving a formal warning on Celebrity Big Brother after Siwa claimed he made homophobic comments about her on the show.
