“This Is Very Scary Now”: JoJo Siwa Just Detailed A Concerning Exchange She Had With Mickey Rourke On “Celebrity Big Brother” That Never Made It To Air
Mickey was then seen leaving the Diary Room and entering the kitchen, where most of the housemates were, including JoJo. When he asked her if things were “OK” between them, she said: “I think, just as a future, using the word ‘fag’ is not an acceptable word.”
And now, JoJo has revealed that a huge part of this conversation did not make it to air — and what was cut actually resulted in her telling Big Brother that she did not feel “safe” around Mickey.
“He said: ‘You’re gonna kick a dog while it’s down?!’” JoJo recalled. “And I’m like: ‘No, my god, no, like, that’s not the point at all, I just wanted you to know where I was coming from.’ Then that’s when Chris stepped in again, he was like: ‘No man, she’s just trying to say her feelings,’ whatever, then Mickey was like: ‘Well, I don’t really care about your feelings,’ and all this didn’t make it.”
“That’s what really tipped me over the edge. He then said to me: ‘I knew what I was saying, and that’s why I said it, I wanted to offend you, I knew I was going to offend you, and that’s what I want to do. I like poking at a bear,’” JoJo added. “And none of that made it. So then, I stood up at the chair, and I was like: ‘Why would you want to say something that you think would offend me?’ And he said: ‘Oh, so now you’re gonna stand up and attack me.’”
“I sat right back down, I was like: ‘No, not my point at all, I just wanted to have a conversation with you,’” she went on. “He said: ‘I don’t want to have a conversation with you,’ and he walked away. And that’s what shook me up. That’s when I went outside, took a second. I’m not upset that didn’t make it to air, I don’t care, like, it was my experience and what happened, but that’s when I really broke.”
“I told Big Brother: ‘I don’t really feel safe around him, like, this is very scary now,’ my bed was next to his,” JoJo continued. “But then I realized that I can make an example out of this situation. Whether it be a good example or bad example, I’m going to make it my mission to realize where he’s coming from. Like, he’s not a good man, and I will stand behind that. He’s gross, he’s creepy, he doesn’t know right from wrong. But he’s also a hurt man, and I can have sympathy for him being a hurt man while also not condoning his behavior.”
Mickey was not removed from the house until four days later, after he had a confrontation with Chris where he repeatedly called him a “cunt” and threatened him. He also made a sexually inappropriate comment to 24-year-old reality star Ella Rae Wise, reducing her to tears and leaving the majority of female housemates feeling uncomfortable in his presence.
Despite this, it was later revealed that Mickey is pursuing legal action over his removal, with his manager, Kimberly Hines, sharing in a statement to People that the show had disrespected Mickey by “publicly embarrassing him.” There was also unrest over the fact that Mickey isn’t receiving his full payout, with it being reported that he will only be paid 10% of his unverified £500,000 ($662k) fee.
