- The campaign titled “Help Mickey Rourke Stay in His Home” raised about $96,000 toward a $100,000 goal before GoFundMe marked donations as paused.
- Rourke denounced the fundraiser in an Instagram video, calling it humiliating, saying he had no knowledge of it, and urging fans not to donate.
- Manager Kimberly Hines’ team organized the drive to avert eviction, says it was not a grift, is offering refunds, and has handled temporary lodging and a new apartment.
- Court filings reviewed by outlets allege about $59,100 in unpaid 2025 rent and seek lease forfeiture, with the eviction case remaining pending.
- The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department took Rourke’s legally registered shotgun for safekeeping after a team member requested deputies take the firearm.
