“Mickey Rourke is currently facing a very difficult and urgent situation: he is at risk of being evicted from his home. Life doesn’t always move in a straight line, and despite everything Mickey has given through his work and his life, he is now dealing with a challenging financial moment that has put his housing at risk,” the fundraiser reads.
“The goal is to give Mickey some stability and peace of mind during a stressful time so he can stay in his home and have the space to get back on his feet. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference.”
The GoFundMe is run by Liya-Joelle Jones, a friend and member of his management.
He reportedly signed a lease last March for $5,200 a month that was raised to $7,000 a month, and got a 3-day eviction notice in December, via the LA Times.
Last year, he was removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house.
