As we mentioned yesterday, Mickey Rourke has a case of the Isaiah Washington syndrome.
On Sunday night, Rourke was heading to a Los Angeles night club with his beard lady friend, and no, it wasn’t Evan Rachel Wood. No one really wants to be seen with her in public!
When a paparazzo asked Rourke about the reports of him being with Evan Rachel Whore, the “actor” got a bit defensive. He yelled out, “Tell that faggot who wrote all that shit in the paper I’d like to break his fucking legs.”
But now the hate speech-spewing wacktor is backpedaling.
In a new statement, Rourke now says, “I want to sincerely apologize for the derogatory word I used. It was insensitive and inappropriate of me and I am deeply sorry that I may have offended anyone.” Somehow we don’t think that’s very sincere.
As for Wood, she’ll jump at any opportunity to get press for herself.
She said at an event yesterday that, “Everybody thinks we’re dating and we’re not. Mickey and I bonded while shooting The Wrestler and we became friends, but nothing more.”
Someone should tell her to stop speaking to the media!
As for Rourke, he’s gotten in trouble in the past for using hate words. Back in 2006 he called a drunken fan a Fag as well and almost got into a fight with him.
And in an interview after the incident back then he said, “Look, I’m not afraid to say the word fag. I’ve got plenty of gay friends. We toss the word around.”
Do you have plenty of black friends too and toss other words around?
Hater!
