Mickey Rourke's manager, Kimberly Hines, addresses the controversy surrounding a GoFundMe campaign created to help the actor pay back rent and avoid eviction. Rourke, who denies authorizing the fundraiser, owed his landlord $59,100 after falling behind on rent for his Los Angeles home.
Mickey Rourke ’s manager is speaking out after the Academy Award nominee blasted a GoFundMe created in his name. His manager of nine years, Kimberly Hines spoke with “The Hollywood Reporter.”which comes after the Oscar-nominated actor turned down help from fans who'd donated more than $100,000 to keep a roof over this head.
Landlord Eric Goldie won a default judgement against defendant Philip Andre Rourke,"aka Mickey Rourke," on Monday, court records showed.Rourke had signed a lease agreement through at least April 30 of last year, with rent starting at $5,200 before going up to $7,000 a month for the three-bedroom home at 6520 Drexel Ave. in Los Angeles, according to court records. Rourke fell months behind and owed Goldie $59,100, including legal fees, by the end of last year, the landlord said in court papers.Just after the new year, Rourke's manager had organized a GoFundMe effort to help raise $100,000 so he could pay back rent and “stay in his home” during this “extremely stressful time.”Fans quickly helped the campaign reach its six-digit goal so that the actor would avoid eviction from his home due to “health challenges, financial strain, and the quiet toll of being left behind.” But Rourke said he never authorized this fundraiser and said he was “frustrated” and “confused” because he was unaware of the campaign. “That’s not me, okay?” he continued. “I’d rather, if I needed money, I wouldn’t ask for no f---ing charity. I’d rather stick a gun up my a-- and pull the trigger.” “My life is very simple, I wouldn’t go to outside sources like that,” he added, later calling the campaign “embarrassing.”
