Mickey Rourke Vows Retaliation Against Those Behind His Name's Crowdfunder 'Scam'
The actor has intensified his criticism of the GoFundMe appeal set up to help him cover overdue rent, with a vow of severe repercussions for those behind it. "There will be severe repercussions to the individual who did this very bad thing to me and anyone who knows me knows payback will be goddamn severe," he wrote on Instagram.
Rourke initially rejected the charity, stating he would "rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger" than accept donations. However, his longtime friends have since reached out to offer him accommodation and financial aid, which Rourke described as "sooo upset & enbarassed".
The actor believes the crowdfunder was an "embarrassment", calling it a "SCAM … WHICH WAS AS IVE STATED A CRUEL ENBARRASMENT". His lawyer is reportedly attempting to reimburse those who donated, but has only managed to recover 10% of the funds so far.
Rourke's ire at the situation appears unrelenting, with his words suggesting that he will not hesitate to exact revenge on those responsible. The extent of this retaliation remains unclear, but it is evident that Rourke feels deeply wronged by the circumstances surrounding the crowdfunder.

i mean, can't imagine being in his shoes and having people try to help you out, only for it to backfire like this 
his whole 'sticking a gun up my ass' comment tho lol... but seriously, 10% of the funds recovered so far? that's crazy 
and yeah, he seems pretty determined to get his revenge 
guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens next... hope everyone involved can just calm down and move forward 
This whole thing is so 
refusing help from his friends, and now he's all 
furious about some charity scam? 
It's just 
crazy how the situation escalated. But for real tho, 10% of funds recovered is lowkey 
sad. I guess you could say Mickey Rourke's feeling 
pretty betrayed right now. The idea that people would try to scam someone in need is just 
gross. Whatever revenge he plans, I hope it doesn't come back around and hurt innocent ppl 
. I'm curious though, what exactly was he expecting in return for accepting donations? 
. like, come on man, get some help for your financial struggles already 
. maybe instead of pointing fingers, he should focus on getting back on his feet 
. anyway, payback's gonna be hell for whoever started that crowdfunder 
I mean, who starts a crowdfunder to help someone with rent problems? 
He was right to reject it at first and now he's all bent outta shape because his friends are trying to help him out

... I mean, who wants their name used in a crowd fund scam? It's like, you're already down on your luck with the rent thing, and then this happens? 
But at the same time, 10% reimbursement rate is pretty meh, right? Like, shouldn't the lawyers be able to get more of that cash back? 
that's some next level drama 
10% of those donations got reimbursed? that's like, what even is that? anyway, mickey rourke's lawyer better be on top of this ASAP or else rourke might just make good on that "payback" threat...not sure if anyone wants to get on his bad side 
But instead of being all grateful and appreciative, he's just throwing shade and making threats 
. I feel bad for anyone who donated and thought they were doing something kind 
. Maybe Mickey should take a deep breath and try to see things from another perspective? Or, like, work with his lawyer to get those funds back without being so passive-aggressive 
.
I guess what I'm saying is, it's a tough situation, but maybe we can try to see it from both sides?
i mean i get it, bein in a tough spot sucks, but this whole thing just got messy. crowdfunder scams are super low, even for us internet folks
