Mickey Rourke has been evicted from his Los Angeles home after failing to pay nearly $60,000 in rent.
As Rolling Stone reported in late December, the actor fell behind in payments for the three-bedroom Spanish bungalow he began renting in April 2025, around the same time he was asked to leave the U.K.’s Celebrity Big Brother after “inappropriate language” and “unacceptable behavior.”
The court documents, obtained by People, show that the Los Angeles County Superior Court ruled in favor of landlord Eric Goldie in an unlawful-detainer case (as the Los Angeles Times pointed out, the home was built in the 1920s, and was previously occupied by novelist Raymond Chandler).
Similar to the initial eviction filing in December 2025 — in which Rolling Stone confirmed that Rourke wasn’t at the property when someone tried to reach him there — the judgment was filed on March 9 and entered by “default.” According to People, this is likely due to the fact that Rourke did not respond to the complaint or appear to defend himself within the time required by California law.
Amid his legal troubles, a GoFundMe was set up for Rourke in early January, though he quickly claimed he wasn’t involved with the fundraiser. “If I needed money, I wouldn’t ask for no fucking charity,” he said. “I’d rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger.” Kimberly Hines, his manager of more than a decade, then admitted that she set up the account: “If Mickey doesn’t want this help from people that want to support him and his fans, then that money will be returned,” she said.
In mid-January, after surrendering his shotgun to authorities, Rourke spoke up again about the GoFundMe campaign, which by then had raised $90,000, urging people to get their money back. “Vicious cruel godamm lie to hustle money using my fuckin name so motherfuckin enbarassing,” he said on social media. “There will b severe repercussions to individual who did this very bad thing to me and anyone who knows me knows payback k will be goddamm severe!!!!!!”
