Mickey Rourke evicted from home after turning down $100,000 in help from fans

A Los Angeles court ordered the eviction of actor Mickey Rourke from his West Hollywood home following unresolved rent arrears.
The landlord won a default judgment for roughly $59,100 in back rent and legal fees by year end.
A GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising $100,000 to cover back rent and stabilize his housing status was not authorized by Rourke.
Rourke publicly rejected charity from fans, stating he would rather not seek such assistance.
Rourke described his life as very simple and criticized external fundraising efforts as embarrassing.
The eviction stems from a lease that had been active through April of the prior year with rent starting at $5,200 and rising to $7,000 monthly.
The eviction follows ongoing health and financial pressures cited by Rourke as contributing to his housing instability.
The case was documented in court records and reported by NBC News.
The eviction decision underscores tensions between public fundraising efforts and the stars' own statements about needing help.
