Bella Thorne made a number of allegations about her time working with Mickey Rourke following his anti-gay comments towards JoJo Siwa on Celebrity Big Brother UK.
Earlier this week, JoJo informed the former wrestler that she is gay. “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore…I’ll tie you up,” he replied. Mickey was subsequently issued a warning for his numerous comments and apologized to Jojo.
In light of his comments, Bella spoke about her own experiences working with Mickey on the set of the 2020 movie Girl. “This fucking dude. GROSS,” she wrote on Instagram and X.
She then detailed a scene where her hands were “zip tied” while she was on her knees. “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,” she alleged. “I had bruises on my pelvic bone — Working with Mickey was one of the all time worst experiences of my life working as an actress.”
“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,” the 27-year-old further alleged.
She further alleged that she had to go to Mickey’s trailer “absolutely alone because he refused to speak to the director or producers.” Bella claimed of working with the 72-year-old, “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.”
As an additional note, she wrote, “Fuck Mickey – how he acted doesn’t negate the incredible hard work that everybody else put into that movie. Everyone worked HARD literal blood, sweat, and tears to make that vision and I’m really proud of everyone and the work that was done on that movie.”
BuzzFeed has reached out to a representatives Mickey for comment.
