JoJo Siwa has revealed a conversation she had with Mickey Rourke that didn’t make it on-air during their time on Celebrity Big Brother and it’s pretty appalling.
Rourke was removed from CBB
Rourke was shown the door early on by Celebrity Big Brother producers after a string of controversies.

You’ll remember he got his first warning just a few days into the show after referring to Siwa as “the lesbian” and calling her a homophobic slur.
He had initially apologized
Rourke had initially apologized to Siwa, saying he was a “short fuse” and that he “didn’t mean nothing by it.”
But since then, Siwa has claimed that there was more to their exchange that didn’t make the final cut following the offense.
Siwa claimed he had more to say
On Wednesday April 30, the former Dance Moms star shared on the Viall Files podcast that Rourke later told her he knew exactly what he was doing.
She was okay until he admitted it
Siwa shared that what upset her the most was when Rourke allegedly admitted to knowing exactly what he was saying.
She said, “What really tipped me over the edge is he then said to me, ‘I knew what I was saying and that’s why I said it’.”
She said he told her he meant to offend
Siwa also claimed Rourke told her, “‘I wanted to offend you. I knew it was going to offend you, and that’s why I wanted to do it. I like poking at a bear’.”
Rourke eventually left CBB
The Oscar nominee was eventually asked to leave Celebrity Big Brother less than a week in as he showed aggressive behavior towards others on the show.
As well as his conflict with Siwa, Rourke had had an aggressive confrontation with Chris Hughes and used ‘inappropriate sexual language’ towards Ella Rae Wise.
He had allegedly done even more
After leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house, celebrity and politician Michael Fabricant claimed that these controversies weren’t Rourke’s only ones in the house, saying that others took place but didn’t make it to the final cut.
Fabricant spoke about it on social media
Replying to a comment on X/Twitter, Fabricant said Rourke had taken part in more controversies off camera.
The former Conservative MP wrote, “[Mickey’s comments weren’t] said in isolation. There was a lot more, some of which could not be broadcast.”
