Bella Thorne says costar Mickey Rourke injured her genitals

Bella Thorne took to her social media to discuss a traumatic experience that allegedly took place while she was working on a film with Mickey Rourke.

Her response came after he made bigoted comments about YouTuber and singer, JoJo Siwa.

“This f****** dude. GROSS,” she wrote along with a photo of his, “I had to work with this man — in a scene where I’m on my knees and with my hands zip tied around my back. He’s supposed to take a metal grinder to my knee cap and instead he used it on my genitals through my jeans. Hitting them over and over again. I had bruises on my pelvic bone.”

She further claimed, “Working with Mickey was one of the all time worst experiences of my life working as an actress.”

“So many gross stories of things he made me go through on that movie, including in his last scene to speed up and rev his engine so he could cover me completely in dirt,” the actress continued in another post.

Thorne added, “I guess he thought it was funny to humiliate me in front of the entire crew. Having to go in his trailer absolutely alone because he refused to speak to the director or producers — so I had to convince him to show up and complete his job, as he shouted crazy demands that he wanted from the producers. In fact I had to beg. Alone. In his trailer.”

She didn’t specify what the project was, but the two worked together on the 2020 horror film, Girl.

Rourke’s representatives released a statement in response, claiming, “We are aware of the deeply troubling statements made by Bella Thorne regarding her experience on set with Mr. Rourke during the production of a past film. These allegations are extremely serious. Mr. Rourke adamantly denies any intentional misconduct.”

The statement continued, “He has not been contacted previously with any claims of this nature and was unaware of any discomfort expressed by Ms. Thorne at the time. Out of respect for all parties involved and in light of the gravity of the claims, Mr. Rourke will refrain from commenting further at this time. He is prepared to cooperate fully with any appropriate inquiry. We extend our support to all professionals who deserve to feel safe and respected in their workplace.”
