Mickey Rourke Defends Homophobic Slurs!

Filed under: Sean Penn > Evan Rachel Whore > Mickey Rourke

wenn2566719.jpg

He wouldn't even apologize!

After reports surfaced of an inebriated Mickey Rourke firing back at a reporter for claiming that he was dating Evan Rachel Whore, he unleashed a few unkind words.

And now, he's defending them!

"She's a good friend, that's it. And tell that f***ot who wrote all that shit in the paper I'd like to break his f****** legs," Rourke said last November.

When he was asked about the statement on Sunday, he refused to take back the statement.

"I don't really give a f***. Life's too short," he said. "I have more gay friends than any 50 straight people I know, so I don't really give a s***. I meant what I said."

Oh, really?!

Considering he called Sean Penn "one of the most homophobic people I know," we think his ignorance may extend further to the point that he does not know the meaning of the word.

Look it up, sugar!

    hmmmm



  2. 2

    Creepface…seriously.



  3. 3

    Perez… didn't you, yourself, use that f-word recently? Didn't it result in a righteous ass kicking?

    You really shouldn't be pointing fingers at those who use colorful words to describe people when in this very post you call a woman a whore.

    Will you ever learn?



  4. 4

    Oh shut up you whiner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    YOU ARE RATHER FOND OF INSULTING PEOPLE WITH THE WORD YOURSELF AND KNOWING YOUR LEVEL OF BITCHINESS WHEN YOU SAID IT I'M SURE YOU MEANT IT A LOT MORE THAN MICKEY EVER DID



  5. 5

    Perez get over it. He is not homophobic. Mickey indeed does have many gay male friends. PErez you are a sad homo yourself.



  6. 6

    there you go mario, watch out fat head you will get sucka-punch !! by mickey

    It's always telling when the next statement is "I have friends who are…." I seriously doubt he has many gay friends because if he did they would not let his ass outside in the get-ups he wears.



  8. 8

    Does he think Will.I.Am is a f**got?



  9. 9

    Let's rewind to that hot June night in Toronto—- shall we Perez. Rmember??? The night you got smacked



  10. 10

    a lot of people grew up saying the f word, not trying to say your gay, but just as an insult, he obviously has gay friends, and he obviously didnt mean it as "gay" who cares hes old fix what you can instead of bitching at someone whos not even a homophobe



  11. 11

    Are all gay people just really angry - don't blame the rest of the world for your problems and NO we don't have to accept it! You go Mickey!



  12. 12

    SO ITS ONLY OK WHEN PEREZ SHOOTS THESE SLURS????? OH YA CUZ HES GAY….YAH THAT MAKES IT OK……….. hmmmmkay all that bleach is doing some serious damage to your brain

  13. Brtt says – reply to this


    13

    Hmm..Sounds like something you would do, Perez…wait a minute…you have!



  14. 14

    Who the fuck are you to talk about someone's homophobic slurs being that you are gay and you used the same word!!! Hypocrite, much?



  15. 15

    In all my lifetime, I don't think I've ever encountered a bigger idiot, nor a bigger hypocrite than you… where was your apologize for your gay slur?

  16. ap076 says – reply to this


    16

    Are you sure he meant it in a pejorative way?
    Perhaps he was calling the chap a bundle of sticks used as firewood.
    Just a thought.



  17. 17

    A 'F***OT' Is a type of meatball in the UK - What has it got to do with being gay?



  18. 18

    Really Perez? Weren't you just in the news about using that word? And you are one! so get the F over it.



  19. 19

    Who cares what people do in their bedroom??? None of my business if they're queer (i.e. homosexual). I really don't give a flying F**K through a rolling O whether or not they're queer - why would it bother somebody else?? Here's an idea - get a life!!



  20. 20

    you are the ignorant perez.. ever heard of freedom of speech!!!



  21. 21

    Lmfao! That's what you get Perez. Dont act surprise when someone else want's to talk shit back to you AFTER you bash them. You reap what you sew, keep ya trap shut.



  22. 22

    Whilst we have the dictionary out, let's look up these words shall we…
    Misogynist
    Plagiarism
    Irony
    Delusional
    etc,etc,etc…



  23. 23

    While, I don't necessarily agree with it - Yes, Perez and any other gay person can use that word f****t. We just do. Just like black people have their own word that they can say in every rap song and video, but if one white person says it you'd think the were trying to reinstitute slavery. No, it's right, but that's just the way it is.

    And on Mickey Rourke? I was one of the five people who saw the Wrestler. I'm ready for you to jump off the top rope and die.



  24. 24

    Ummm does perez and his "people" actually have the balls to get on someone's case for calling someone a F word?

    Let's see, perez pressured ABC through his blog into ruining Isiah Washington's career.

    Then he turns around and calls Will.I.am a "Fa g got" admittedly, to hurt him with a slur.

    Then he turns around and tries to get on Mickey Rouke's ass? Seriously. Who writes this shit?



  25. 25

    Hypocrite Much MARIO??? U ureself admited to about to call the guy from black eyed peas a N word but instead called him the same F word as Rourke , u are no one to call any one a homophobe.



  26. 26

    Good for Mickey Rourke! Perez, why is it that you can criticize everyone about every little thing but when someone states the truth you get your panties in a bunch. Let's face it, you're a flamer and you go out of your way to be weird, look ridiculous and judge everyone. Unless Lady GaGa does it, says it or wears it you will criticize it. Seems to me it wasn't too long ago you used that same exact word and then cried like a bitch when you got checked. Can't you just print the gossip and keep your dumb-ass comments to yourself.



  27. 27

    Even gays use the word to refer to other gays, as you well know, Perez Hilton. Doesn't make one a homophobe.



  28. 28

    wow its refreshing to see someone that does not "apologize" for saying something they really meant… why would you want a forced apology???



  29. 29

    Oh yeah, Perez regularly calls women "whore" and Bitch. He needs to stfu. Seriously this is one of the things that makes me wish perez's empire collapses like a deck of cards.



  30. 30

    Re: Fyrdanser – You took the words right out of my mouth. Well said.



  31. 31

    He's a fucken douche! I am almost embarrassed to have the same name!
    He needs to STFU and apologize. This coming from a guy who has done every drug,drank every booze there is! Why are people so homophobic? It's senseless and so wrong! UGH!



  32. 32

    What a hypocrite you are. You make a point of calling Evan Rachel Wood a whore every time you write about her, AND you've dropped the f-word yourself, and yet Mickey saying it is not okay?

    For once, why don't you lead by example.



  33. 33

    Go fuck yourself Perez. You too called someone that and tried to defend it until you were called out. He's no homophobe and you know it. If he is you are so fuck off.



  34. 34

    Re: Fyrdanser – Good post! Any answers,Perez? Probably not! Perez is a fucken hypocrite,we all know that!



  35. 35

    ………yet you calling a woman a whore is fine mmm explain that please



  36. 36

    I haven't read anything that hypocritical in a long time



  37. 37

    He is so gross… and this picture is gross too - the poor rose.



  38. 38

    Hey, Perez… Why was it that you were told to stay away from the march in DC?



  39. 39

    Isn't that the same f-bomb you dropped Mario? Sounds like you're both homophobic.



  40. 40

    HAHAHA!!! i just read ALL the comments to this little peice of gossip and i would have to say that i LOVE LOVE LOVE how most of the people responding dont think mickey was in the wrong. i totally agree he probably just said it b/c its a negative term, not trying to be homophobic. and perez, as much as i read shit off your site, i think your a total douche bag b/c you have no room to talk!! about anyone really! i mean when you criticize the way celebs dress and shit, LOOK AT YOU! your a walking fashion DISASTER! everytime i see a pic of you. you should be in worst dressed every week in us weekly…. just sayin…



  41. 41

    awful big rock to be throwing considering the glass house you live in regarding the use of that word.



  42. 42

    He wouldn't even apologize? Is that ur way of saying that cuz you apologized, that it was ok for you yourself to use the hate word. Hypocrite!



  43. 43

    "one of the most homophobic people I know," we think his ignorance may extend further to the point that he does not know the meaning of the word."
    .
    Et tu, brute?



  44. 44

    cruising for another smack down huh Mario…



  45. 45

    OH, PLEASE, PERVEZ, YOU AND THAT PENN GUY ARE 2 HYPOCRITES. You said the same word to will.i.am. so you cannot accuse HIM of being homophobic.
    and that Sean Penn can accuse others of being "homophobic" yet he can be hateful towards ppl that don't necessarily agree with the homosexual lifestyle??? how ironic…



  46. 46

    I would rather he not apologize and be honest about how he feels than apologize only to appease (sp) those who would condem him and have it be fake. Just because his opinion doesn't match yours doesn't make it less of an opinion. You can't pick and chose the times to uphold the 1st ammendment regardless of how it doesn't match your agenda.



  47. 47

    But, it's OK if YOU use the same word, right?? Pathetic Perez. P.S. People are scooping you by at least a day. This is old news.



  48. 48

    come on, back in the late 80's during the time of club USA on time square in nyc, he was seen walking out of a limo with a young gay latino, and they we making out. So, he hearts the cock.

    I'm not making this up, so there. And to prove I'm not making it up, why would I pick club USA,NYC, late 80's n time square. hmmm?



  49. 49

    HEY that's not fair Perez. didn't YOU use the same word in a heated moment? I doubt he's a homophobe…just like I doubt you are one. cut the guy some slack. we all use that word…it's ugly but we do…because it gets to people.



  50. 50

    Re: OMG3000 – THAT doesn't tell me anything. He could've been someone SIMILAR to MR, or something that sb made up and you believed it.
    And if it was true, that doesn't tell me that he's homosexual. He said that he before, he was living an horrible lifestyle and that now he's changed. I don't believe that he's homosexual.



  51. 51

    Why would Mickey Rourke need to apologize?
    Serious question, are gays looking for equality or power and dominance?

    It is one thing to be treated as an equal human being but it is another to want everybody to be vigilant about every word or opinion they say…

    This is coming from a minority who has been called many bad things in his life by whites but hey I am guilty of making fun or talking shit about the white man too..The same white man that provided all these opportunities to thrive, like the internet and blogging, we just have to work harder. Everybody needs to stop whinning about everything :-)

    People are getting to sensitive and going blind, words are 30% or less of the communication process and if we open our eyes we know when someone really has a bad intentions towards us or they are just being rude.

    It is in the tone of voice, the volume and intensity, body language , posture etc. Mickey Rourke is a man's man and that's the way I like him.
    Women have done enough to turn men into punching bags similar to Jon and now Gays are coming from another angle too?



  52. 52

    I have seen pictures of Mickey Rourke necking with a guy. I have always thought he was bisexual. Which…in my mind is gay. So what gives? How can he be homophobic? He is a homosexual. Or maybe it doesn't count if you don't partake very often…..



  53. 53

    I don't know how to act anymore. What I do hate is when some gays get on some kind of politically correct highground and they want everyone to kiss their asses. It is a power play. Kind of like the "Christians"…..when everyone must censor everything they do and say when in their presence. What a crock. Mickey is kind of disinhibited and scary at times. Basically he gets away with a lot of stuff because he is a bully.



  54. 54

    *
    Perez, you deserve another black eye and a FAT LIP.
    *



  55. 55

    i DISTINCTLY remember you using the exact same word towards the blak eye peas..hypocrisy much? Bless your heart



  56. 56

    The Wrassler Spews …



  57. 57

    mickey rourke is so obviously gay. he doesnt even try to hide it. how many straight guys flaunt their pet dogs?



  58. 58

    He's just a mess. Has been forever.



  59. 59

    So what's the difference in calling someone a whore or a F**?



  60. 60

    Perez, please! If we all freaked out about negative statements…. Get over it. He is a good guy. He probably did not mean anything by it.



  61. 61

    Why? Why?? WHY would he would do that? What a mess.



  62. 62

    It's about time someone doesn't apologize.



  63. 63

    CAGE FIGHT now that I would love to see, Mickey would kick that fat queenie ass of yours into the ground. go mickey go



  64. 64

    You're a hypocrite Perez. I don't care what you say, I love Mickey Rourke… and everyone else who isn't afraid to say exactly how they feel!! POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS FOR COWARDLY SHEEP.

  65. Jaded says – reply to this


    65

    While I don't approve of the use of any racial slurs whether you are "allowed" to use them or not. Unless, the paparazzi that he was using it against was gay, then how is he homophobic? Does it make me a misogynist if I call someone a bitch? Which by the way you use quite a bit.
    I have seen quite a few of you posts calling someone a hot bitch, and there have been more than one calling people retarded. I guess that mean you hate gay people, women, and the mentally disabled.



  66. 66

    That Jaydn Maria ad looks like she's gonns suck that mike deep and hard. She'll make it to the top for sure if she does that.



  67. 67

    I like it that you can't do a full court press on Mickey. Maybe the pendulum is swinging the other way now so that we don't have to remain a nation of apologists and return to being a nation that has a spine.

    He's right in one regard. Life is too short for regrets. So back off super sensitive Perez. You won't make Mickey apologize. He's more Hemingway than Broadway. Thank God! And you still can't make Prejean apologize.



  68. 68

    How could Sean Penn possibly be considered homophobic after doing the film Milk?



  69. 69

    To be honest I don't even know what gay is….If Mickey Rourke likes to have sex with women and men every once in awhile as some of you are claiming is that Gay or is that he just likes Sex. If he likes Sex just for the pleasure with a women,men,rubber dolls, and a cherry pie :-) What does it matter?

    Mickey rough and sensitive at the same time haha. Considering he is an industry that deals with creativity in is understandable as most artists are a bit more sensitive and that is how they connect with their work and whatever energies they use to create. The big mistake people make is to assume a Sensitive Artist of personality is a gay person.

    At bars sometimes gay guys have offered me drinks and honestly it really pisses me off. What Am I supposed to do in that situation? My first instinct is to knock them on their ass but I haven't yet. :-)



  70. 70

    Oh Mario……………after what you called Will.i.am……………..please stop making yourself look so stupid.



  71. 71

    Wow, he's the second celeb who I've heard use that word, you being the first - in anger might I add.



  72. 72

    No need to apologize. This world has gotten too politically correct. Instead, some people need to grow some thicker skin and stop being such big babies

    You don't see Perez cutting back on making hate remarks on people that disagree with him do you?



  73. 73

    SERIOSULY, HE'S NOT homophobic. I have photos of him holding hands (while strolling the street!) with guys, and even kissing them. He really does have a lot of gay friends. He feels comfortable saying the word so freely, because he is that close to them. As a gay person, naturally I don't care for the word–but from him it is not offensive. He's cool. Perez used it wildly and abusively in full on attack mode and it came out NATURALLY, no pre-thought - and that is scary and ugly.



  74. 74

    Didn't you just call a man a "f*ggot" a few months back? Get over it. That's like a black person being all up in arms about a white person using the word n*ger then using the word daily himself. If it's ugly, it's ugly for anybody to use, period. No hypocrisy. And I don't want o hear the ignorant response that "well we're just turning around the derogatory label the white man gave us and incorporated into our culture". BULLSHIT it's IGNORANT. Wipe this ugly vocabulary off the face of the earth by not using it your own damned self. Now clean up this mess.



  75. 75

    Why can you complain about him using that word when you yourself have used it in anger? and complaining about the names that celebs call other people when in this same blog YOU are calling some one a whore???



  76. 76

    So….
    Gay people don't like being called F.aggots.

    Well for your information Perez women don't like being called whores

    You f.ucking hypocrite



  77. 77

    He's a druggy asshole.



  78. 78

    excuse me there homo, but didn't YOU call someone that very same thing??? ASSHOLE!!!



  79. 79

    Um, you used the f-word and flat out refused to apologize! Not only that….you ranted about how you were right and how unfair it was that people demanded an apology.
    .
    You're a pathetic excuse for a human being.

  80. Gusto says – reply to this


    80

    HMMM…YES, THERE ARE A LOT OF HYPOCRITES LATELY..LIKE WHEN THOSE POOR AUSSIES WERE CALLED RACIST AND WE HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT RECENT MEDIA EVENTS….LIKE…."WHITE CHICKS"…..AND….."TROPIC THUNDER" (YOU KNOW…WHEN ROBERT DOWNEY JNR GOT PAINTED BLACK???????????) PEREZ….SHUT THE F..K UP!!!



  81. 81

    Hmmm, DO you, or do you not, enjoy making it look like semen is dribbling from the lips of straight male celebs that you dislike??? Come on, Perez. You really are hypocritical. He was angry, and he used a word. He does have gay friends, and he's actually pretty sensitive. The dude mourned his dog's death last winter worse than jessica simpson did over her her pup last week. It's a word- you use it as well. You chose your battles with your head up your ass, Mario.



  82. 82

    Perez STFU…whine whine whine no wonder alpha males get the hump with you gay guys you never STOP whining and going on about your sex preferences…shut up..we do not care who you crew… and you are so insulting ,yourself, to others how dare you bitch.?????????????

    You make ME homophobic you really do and I never was until i found you and your site and you and yourKkylie Minogue gay fans.. phew..you all need therapy



  83. 83

    Re: whitecheddar33
    'All gay people' are not angry. Perez Hilton is angry. Shocking though this may be to you, Perez is not the ambassador for homosexuality.

    I don't think Micky Rourke is homophobic, but it wouldn't kill him to think before he opens his mouth sometimes.



  84. 84

    Perez your whole site is negative B.S…built on verbally abusing people. Isn't it laughable you call the kettle black? It's scary you have so many followers of all your negativity and such a shallow industry. This is your life? You are a sad human being.

    I'm surprised you don't get your ass kicked more frequently, because you really should for all the crap you put into the world.



  85. 85

    He's just GROSS!!!!!



  86. 86

    Too bad this word is taken a wrong way. Though I wouldnt call anyone a F****t. The word originally meant a bundle of sticks Im pretty sure Ive seen this word in historical books as people would gather them to make a fire. Basically a bundle of twigs and kindle wood. So people started called gay men a bundle of sticks and the gay man didnt take too kindly to this. Because of course they are more than a handful of dicks wrapped in a rubber band. Im not being sarcastic Im just saying. lol
    I have alot of gay and lesbian friends I guess being from New Orleans Louisiana we're just pretty loving and we just like to have a good time sha. They call me a F** hag…Well the gay guys pick on thier girl friends like that:P I suppose some people are more sensitive than others.



  87. 87

    I'm gay and I use the word all the time.



  88. 88

    I guess you can only use gay slang if you are gay and if you are not it is not cool.



  89. 89

    Re: Dynamixx – It doesn't bother me if someone of any sex makes a pass. I think it can happen to anyone. But I wonder what kind of signals you are sending.
    Like maybe lose the scarf wrapped around your neck. ha ha ha Oh and the beret.

  90. ap076 says – reply to this

    Re: Nonbreeder – You are such a piece of shit it never surprises me the crap that comes out of your mouth. I can understand, maybe snapping (like Perez) and perhaps using the word as your go to word, particularly if the word has been used against you, maybe. But he refused to apologize for it, which to me means homophobia plain and simple. If you would get that plus-size butt plug out of your ass long enough to think straight you would seed the difference. That "some of my best friends are" excuse has long been used to support racism, do we need to allow it as an excuse for homophobia, you suck.



  91. 91

    Perez you're such a hypocrite. So its perfectly ok for you to use the F word?



  92. 92

    Whatever, Perez, you lost all credibility when you used the word yourself.



  93. 93

    some people use that word like mother fucker…not every1 that uses that word is homophobic. i have nothing against gay ppl but stop trying 2 make everything about u!



  94. 94

    LAY OFF HIM..ITS ONLY WORDS..ARE YOU THAT INSECURE???
