A judge recently entered an eviction ruling against actor Mickey Rourke who, despite owing nearly $60,000 (RM236,000) in unpaid rent at his Beverly Grove home, rejected more than $100,000 (RM393,000) raised in a GoFundMe campaign coordinated by his manager to keep him housed. The default ruling means that Rourke failed to take action to defend against the eviction complaint within the time allowed by law. On Dec 29, his landlord filed the eviction complaint, alleging that Rourke owed him $59,100 in back rent on the $7,000-a-month rental. "Mickey Rourke is an icon — but his trajectory, as painful as it is, is also a deeply human one," read the description for the since-shuttered GoFundMe. I don't want him doing a GoFundMe," Hines told THR in January.
