Mickey Rourke
Nose-to-Nose with Chris Hughes …
‘Don’t F***ing Eyeball Me’
Published
Mickey Rourke faced off with another housemate on “Celebrity Big Brother” before his early exit … and, while the confrontation didn’t come to blows, it looks like it got very close.
The veteran actor — who we already knew had been booted from ‘CBB’ for continually using abusive language and behaving inappropriately toward his fellow housemates — appeared in the episode that aired Sunday, featuring a pirate-themed quest with his fellow contestants.

During a challenge where the group was forced to reveal hard truths about one another in order to open treasure chests … Chris Hughes — a reality television star and pro soccer player — stared down Mickey, who didn’t appreciate the look one bit.
Check out the clip … Mickey throws off the reflective shades he’s wearing and confronts Chris — telling Hughes not to eyeball him, and refusing to get back in line with the rest of his housemates-turned-crew.
Mickey uses some colorful language … telling CH not to “f***ing eyeball me, c***” at which point other members of the house are taken out of the game and yell out in surprise.
Hughes tells Rourke to “f***ing stand there” not backing down from the challenge … and, the whole house needs to get in between Mickey and Chris to prevent a brawl.

Big Brother then calls Mickey into the diary room and tells him his language and behavior stepped over the line … and, since he’s already received a warning after he used a gay slur on the show, BB has no choice but to boot him.
Rourke apologizes … saying, “I can’t take it back, you know, I stepped over the line. And I take responsibility for doing the wrong thing. ‘Cause I lost my temper, and I’ve been trying to work on it my whole life and I wish I would have had better self-control and I’m very sorry. I’m ashamed of myself for losing it for a few seconds there.”
As we told you … the show put out a statement Saturday — telling fans Mickey and showrunners had mutually agreed he should leave the program, though the clip seems to show it may have been more one-sided than originally indicated.
We’ve reached out to Mickey’s team for any further statement regarding his exit … so far, no word back.
