Mickey Rourke Denies Reports of Impending Homelessness - Mickey Rourke exposes fake GoFundMe campaign for his rent debts
A GoFundMe campaign claiming to raise money for Mickey Rourke's rent debts has been exposed as a scam. The actor himself denied any involvement and called the fundraiser unauthorized and embarrassing. Fans had initially rallied to support the Hollywood star before the truth came to light.
The campaign appeared online, asking for donations to cover Rourke's unpaid rent in Los Angeles. Supporters quickly contributed, believing the actor was in financial trouble. However, Rourke took to Instagram to dismiss the appeal as fake and humiliating.
It remains unclear who set up the fraudulent fundraiser. Reports suggest it may have been started by a friend, a group of friends, or someone linked to his management. No individual has yet been publicly identified as responsible. The incident was later highlighted in Stern's daily VIP Briefing, which rounds up major celebrity news and photos. The case has left fans disappointed after their attempts to help were exploited.
The scam has been shut down, but the money raised may not be recoverable. Rourke's statement made it clear he had no connection to the campaign. Authorities have not confirmed whether an investigation into the fraud is underway.
