Hollywood star Mickey Rourke has exited Celebrity Big Brother after being reprimanded for using inappropriate language and displaying unacceptable behavior.
On Saturday, ITV confirmed that Rourke's behavior had resulted in his exit. Just a few days earlier, he received a warning from show leaders for his remarks towards Siwa, where he made jokes about her sexuality. In an unsettling exchange, Rourke inquired about Siwa's sexual preference and suggested that her identity might change depending on his presence in the house.

While Rourke expressed that he didn't intend harm or dishonor, his comments have ignited debate about the expectations of behavior in such environments. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing conversations surrounding acceptance and language in both reality TV and broader society.
