Bella Thorne: Did Mickey Rourke attack her physically?

Actress Bella Thorne (27) made serious allegations against her colleague Mickey Rourke (72) on social media. The Rourke, which is currently participating in the British version of “Celebrity Big Brother”, is said to have physically attacked and even injured Thorne during filming the film “Girl” (2020). This was shared by the actress in and.

The trigger for Thorne’s public opinion were homophobic statements that Rourke made in the reality show “Celebrity Big Brother” to 21-year-old internet personality Jojo Siwa (21). According to the matching media reports, the actor has already received a formal warning from the producers of the show. In response to these incidents, Thorne posted a screenshot of an article on Rourke behavior towards Siwa and wrote about it: “This type of disgusting. I had to work with this man.”

Then she describes a highly disturbing situation of the set of her joint film: “In a scene I knelt with hands tied behind my back. He should hold a metal grinder on my knee, instead he used it on my genitals through my jeans. He kept going. The 27-year-old describes the cooperation with Rourke as “one of the worst experiences of my life as an actress”.

In other posts, Thorne accused the 72-year-old even further inadequate behavior on the set. In his last scene, he deliberately turned up one in the engine to completely cover it with dirt. “I assume he thought it was funny to humiliate myself in front of the entire crew,” wrote Thorne. In addition, she was forced to go into his trailer alone to convince him to continue his work after refusing to speak to the director or the producer.

“I actually had to beg. Alone. In his trailer,” said the actress. She felt uncomfortable, but did what was best for the film. “Mickey could never have brought someone to situations as he did,” she added.

In a statement, Rourke’s manager Kimberly Hines already rejected the allegations. “I was there as a Mickey Manager and saw every encounter between Bella and Mickey. Bella was basically believed during the entire shoot and a larger diva than it was already Mickey!” Hines claims in return. On the day of this “alleged incident”, Bella Mickey allegedly even invited to her trailer after filming to spend time there. “Nothing inappropriate has happened on the set or elsewhere! As always, there are two sides to every story,” continued Hines.

In the film “Girl”, Thorne played the leading role of a young woman who returns to her hometown in order to revenge on her abusing father, only to find out that he has already been murdered. Rourke embodied a sheriff in the film that is involved in the murder investigations.
