Mickey Rourke’s pal hits out at CBB as he reveals ‘real reason’ actor was axed

Mickey Rourke’s close friend Keith Mason has claimed ‘woke culture’ was the reason the Hollywood actor was removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house. On Saturday evening, it was announced the 72-year-old star agreed to leave the programme following a series of offensive comments and “threatening and aggressive” language.

A spokesperson said yesterday evening: “Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.” In a teaser clip for tonight’s episode, it was revealed Mickey was axed following an altercation with Chris Hughes. Big Brother said his “language and behaviour was threatening and aggressive”. He also used inappropriate sexual language towards Ella-Rae Wise.

Keith claimed ‘woke culture cancel brigade’ was the reason Mickey was axed

Before he was axed, Mickey was already in hot water when fans accused him of staring down AJ Odudu. He also apologised after making homophobic comments towards JoJo Siwa and fatphobic comments towards Donna Preston.

However, Mickey’s friend Keith believes the ‘woke culture cancel brigade’ was the reason he was kicked out of the house.
