Bella Thorne Accuses Mickey Rourke of On-Set Abuse: 'Gross' Behavior Exposed
Mickey RourkeIn a series of revealing social media posts, actress Bella Thorne has accused fellow actor Mickey Rourke of highly unprofessional and abusive behavior on the set of the 2020 film "Girl". Describing her experience as one of the worst of her professional career, Thorne's allegations paint a picture of on-set misconduct that left her both physically bruised and emotionally humiliated.
Thorne detailed an incident during filming where Rourke allegedly used a metal grinder prop inappropriately, striking her genital area through her jeans instead of her kneecap as was scripted. This action reportedly left her with substantial bruising on her pelvic bone. "It was one of the all-time worst experiences", she wrote, emphasizing the severity of the encounters with Rourke.
Compounding the allegations, Thorne shared further disturbing accounts of Rourke’s behavior, including using a vehicle to deliberately cover her in dirt, finding humor in her humiliation. In a particularly jarring account, Thorne described a scenario where she was sent alone into Rourke’s trailer to beg him to complete his scenes, highlighting an uncomfortable power dynamic that should never occur on a professional film set.
Rourke's representatives deny any intentional wrongdoing, stating that he was unaware of Thorne's discomfort and expressing a willingness to cooperate with any formal inquiries. "These allegations are extremely serious", read the statement, asserting that Rourke had no prior knowledge of any issues during filming.
These revelations come shortly after Rourke’s controversial exit from "Celebrity Big Brother UK" over homophobic comments aimed at fellow contestant JoJo Siwa. Following the incident, Rourke issued an apology that many deemed insincere, further tarnishing his public image.
The entertainment industry's history of turning a blind eye to "artistic temperament" in stars is once again under scrutiny, with Thorne's allegations serving as a reminder of the lingering issues of abuse and power imbalances in Hollywood. As the industry stands at a crossroads in 2025, the time for change is more pressing than ever.
