JoJo Siwa’s famous mum Jessalynn revealed how she’d predicted Mickey Rourke’s final moments in the Celebrity Big Brother house after watching the show ‘afraid’ of seeing him turn physical
JoJo Siwa’s mum has spoken out after following her progress in Celebrity Big Brother. On Saturday night it was revealed that Mickey Rourke had been booted out of the house after countless shocking moments, and Jessalynn Siwa shared that she’d predicted his final moments.
JoJo, 21, was one of the first victims of Mickey’s outrageous comments and temper, with the Hollywood actor calling her a homophobic slur just hours into the show.
While he stuck to just words in his treatment of JoJo, things changed during an interaction with Chris Hughes that saw Big Brother call Mickey to the diary room twice in a bid to break up the fight.
During the tense moment, Mickey accused Chris of side-eyeing him and raged: “Don’t f***ing eyeball me. You c***.” Just before he finally entered the diary room, he also pointed at the floor and threatened that Chris was about to end up there.
Jessalynn shared that she thought it was a good thing Mickey was axed, and said that she was watching her fears of Mickey turning physical on his housemates unravel.
“To be honest, this is exactly what I was afraid of, something physical. I know some people think he was making good TV and will be sad he is gone but it’s not worth it for ones in the room with him,” she wrote on social media.
Just a couple of days before, Jessalynn also shared a sad video on Instagram addressing the homophobia aimed towards her daughter, and how she “wasn’t surprised” Mickey wasn’t voted off of the show despite his vile comments.
Jessalynn admitted she was “really sad” by the treatment of JoJo “right out of the gate,” which saw Mickey tell JoJo: “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore,” after she revealed that her partner was non-binary.
Just moments later while talking about voting, Mickey remarked to Love Island star Chris: “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.” JoJo overheard and replied: “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.”
Mickey doubled down on his vitriol again despite warnings from Chris, saying: “I need a fag,” before pointing to JoJo and snapping: “I’m not talking to you.”
Alongside Jessalynn’s comments about fearing that Mickey might become physical in the house, JoJo’s partner Kath Ebb – whom she’s been dating since January – shared similar thoughts after watching Mickey’s comments.
On Instagram, Kath said: “Let’s take out for a second the fact that I obviously have massive emotional stakes in the comments that Mickey made to JoJo by the virtue of her being my f**king partner. They’re also rooted in misogyny and f**king violence.”
Later, Kath called Mickey a “bully” and added: “There are so many layers to that interaction, it makes me feel sick to my stomach.” The social media star concluded: “I would not want to be alone in a room with him and I wouldn’t want anyone to be alone in a room with him.”
