Celebrity Big Brother fans have commended reality star Chris Hughes for his firm response to inappropriate comments made by fellow housemate Mickey Rourke towards JoJo Siwa. The incident, which sparked significant backlash from viewers, occurred during a tense exchange in the house and has since drawn a strong reaction both inside and outside the show.
Tensions rose after Mickey Rourke directed a homophobic remark at Siwa, asking, “Do you like girls or boys?” When Siwa replied that her partner is non-binary, Rourke responded, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.” The remark drew immediate criticism from housemates and viewers alike.
The situation escalated further when Rourke, in conversation with Hughes, referenced his voting strategy by saying, “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.” Siwa, who overheard the comment, immediately challenged the statement, saying: “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.” Hughes backed her up and told Rourke that his words were unacceptable.
The show’s producers issued a serious warning to Rourke, reinforcing the program’s zero-tolerance policy toward discriminatory behavior. Meanwhile, viewers have praised Hughes for his calm yet assertive stance in the face of the offensive comments, with many calling his reaction “the perfect shut down.”
