Bella Thorne has accused Mickey Rourke of bruising her genitals during the filming of a 2020 movie, saying that working with the Oscar nominee was one of the “worst experiences” of her entire career.
The former Disney star took to social media on Friday to reveal the “many gross” things Rourke allegedly put her through while working on the set of the indie thriller “Girl.” Among her accusations, Thorne claims he used a metal grinder on her genitals while filming a scene in which she was kneeling with her hands zip-tied behind her back.
“He [was] supposed to take a metal grinder to my kneecap and instead he used it on my genitals [through] my jeans,” Thorne, 27, wrote. “Hitting them over and over again. I had bruises on my pelvic bone.”
She also shared a screenshot of another post in which she said Rourke revved an engine and covered her “completely in dirt” for another scene.
“I guess he thought it was funny to humiliate me in front of the entire crew,” she added.
Thorne revealed that at one point during filming, she was asked to go into Rourke’s trailer “absolutely alone” to encourage him to finish the movie after he made “crazy demands” from producers.
“He refused to speak to the director or producers — so I had to convince him to show up and complete his job,” Thorne explained. “In fact I had to beg.”
Calling the exchange “uncomfortable,” the OnlyFans sensation maintained it was necessary because the film “could not be finished without him [and] everyone’s work would’ve just been lost and completely for nothing.”
Thorne’s allegations came in reaction to a BBC article regarding homophobic comments Rourke recently made about JoJo Siwa while filming the reality show “Celebrity Big Brother.”
“This f—ing dude,” Thorne said of the 72-year-old. “GROSS.”
