He also said he hopes the person who established the fundraiser doesn't turn a profit."
"Oscar-nominated actor Mickey Rourke is livid about a GoFundMe campaign that drew attention to his alleged financial woes at the start of the new year. The 73-year-old The Wrestler star claimed earlier this month that he had no involvement in a Jan. 4 fundraiser established to help him avoid eviction by collecting $60,000 to pay a Los Angeles landlord for overdue rent."
A GoFundMe campaign sought $60,000 to pay overdue Los Angeles rent tied to Mickey Rourke and reportedly raised more than $100,000 before being frozen. Rourke publicly denounced the fundraiser as unauthorized, called it a cruel embarrassment and vowed severe repercussions against those responsible. Longtime friends reportedly offered him housing and financial help, which he declined to seek from fans. Rourke said his lawyer is working to reimburse donors but acknowledged that about 90% of the funds remain unpaid. His manager Kimberly Hines maintained that the fundraiser was set up with Rourke's knowledge and blessing.
