Bella Thorne Alleges On-Set Injury by Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke is once again in the spotlight, but this time it’s for all the wrong reasons. The 72-year-old actor, known for his tumultuous behavior, faces serious allegations from 27-year-old actress Bella Thorne.

Thorne took to X, formerly Twitter, to share her shocking experience while filming a movie with Rourke. She claims that he left her with painful bruises after an intense scene that went horribly wrong.

A Troubling Incident on Set

Thorne recounted the disturbing moment, saying, "This f–king dude. GROSS. I had to work with this man in a scene where I’m on my knees with my hands zip-tied behind my back. He was supposed to take a metal grinder to my knee cap but instead, he used it on my genitals through my jeans!"

"Hitting them over and over again. I had bruises on my pelvic bone," she added, calling her time working with Rourke one of the worst experiences of her career.

Disturbing Allegations Get Darker

While she didn’t name the specific project, they worked together on the 2020 horror film "Girl." Thorne followed up with more alarming details about her time on set.

She tweeted, "So many gross stories of things he made me go through on that movie, including covering me completely in dirt during his last scene as he revved his engine. He thought it was funny to humiliate me in front of the crew."

Forced to Face Rourke Alone

Thorne claimed she often had to visit Rourke's trailer completely unaccompanied because he refused to communicate with the director or producers. She bravely went in to convince him to finish his scenes, enduring his bizarre demands.

"I had to beg. Alone. In his trailer. I was uncomfortable, but I did what I was asked for the sake of the movie," she wrote.

Rourke's Response to Thorne's Claims

Rourke's representatives acknowledged the seriousness of Thorne's allegations but stated that he denies any intentional misconduct. They expressed concern over her statements and emphasized that he was unaware of any discomfort she felt at the time.

"Mr. Rourke will refrain from further comment at this time but is ready to cooperate with any appropriate inquiry," the statement read.

What Triggered These Claims?

Thorne's accusations came in the wake of Rourke's troubling behavior on the reality show "Celebrity Big Brother," where his inappropriate remarks made headlines. His comments towards co-host AJ Odudu and a homophobic slur aimed at contestant JoJo Siwa drew sharp criticism.

With tensions boiling over and public scrutiny intensifying surrounding Rourke, Thorne's revelations add another layer to the ongoing conversation about safety and respect in the entertainment industry.
