"Something's come up that I'm really frustrated, confused and I don't understand Somebody set up some kind of foundation or fund for me, to donate money, like charity. And that's not me, OK? If I needed money, I wouldn't ask for no fucking charity. I'd rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger."
"This thing is very embarrassing Don't give any money, and if you gave money, get it back. It's really humiliating. They say it's up to $100,000 [74,000, A$145,400]. I wouldn't take a fucking nickel of charity from anybody."
"My assistant started it to help Mickey as a nice gesture because he was being forced out of his home. It was not done with any mal intent. The money has not gone anywhere. If Mickey decides he does not want it, the money will be returned to his fans."
Mickey Rourke denounced an online fundraiser created in his name to cover alleged rent arrears on his Los Angeles home. He posted a video denying prior knowledge, saying he would never accept charity and urging people not to donate or to get refunds. The GoFundMe page was created by an assistant to his manager, who said it was started as a gesture with Rourke's permission to prevent eviction. The manager said the money has not been distributed and will be returned to donors if Rourke rejects it. Reported targets ranged from about $60,000 up to $100,000.
