Bella Thorne Breaks Silence About Her Experience with Mickey Rourke: “It Was One of the Most Unnerving Situations of My Career”

In the midst of a recent interview and a series of social media posts, actress Bella Thorne has made a shocking revelation about an experience she had while filming a movie with renowned actor Mickey Rourke. Although she didn’t directly mention the name of the film, many internet users have inferred that it was the thriller “Girl,” released in 2020, in which the two shared a scene.

Bella recounted that, during filming, she faced a particularly uncomfortable scene in which her character had to simulate a moment of emotional tension, kneeling with her hands tied. According to her, what was supposed to be a controlled performance turned into something much more invasive than expected, causing her both physical and emotional discomfort.

“There was a scene where I was on the floor, tied up, and he was supposed to perform a controlled movement with a tool. But what happened was different: he used force in an area that made me feel vulnerable. It was unnecessary and unexpected,” Thorne explained in a post that quickly went viral.

Beyond what happened on camera, Thorne also reported that the environment off set was equally complex. She recounted that Rourke refused to speak with the directors and producers, forcing her to personally go to his trailer to convince him to return to the set and continue filming.

“I clearly remember being in the trailer, with him sitting in a big chair, while I tried to convince him to do a scene. I wasn’t the director or the producer, but I ended up in the middle of a situation where I had to beg him. I felt small, ignored, and the worst part was that no one had my back at the time,” she added.

Thorne’s statements sparked a wave of reactions on social media, where thousands of users expressed their solidarity, while others called for a further investigation into the situation. In response to the allegations, Mickey Rourke’s team issued a brief statement:

“Mr. Rourke categorically denies any inappropriate behavior. He was unaware that Ms. Thorne felt uncomfortable. He has always respected professional boundaries and is willing to cooperate with any necessary clarification.”

The case has reopened the debate about the treatment of young actors in the film industry, especially when it comes to experienced figures who may exert pressure due to their careers. On social media, actresses such as Alyssa Milano and Jameela Jamil shared messages of support for Bella Thorne, highlighting the importance of young figures speaking out in the face of uncomfortable or unequal situations.

Bella, for her part, concluded her message by thanking those who supported her and reaffirming her commitment to respect within the artistic workplace:

“I’m not sharing this out of revenge. I’m doing it so others know they’re not alone. My experience was tough, but I’m stronger, and if talking about it helps someone else, then it was all worth it.”

At this time, neither representatives of the film “Girl” nor others involved in the filming have commented further. However, this episode has served as a powerful wake-up call to continue promoting safe, inclusive, and respectful work environments in all branches of the arts.
