Mickey Rourke Evicted From L.A. Home After Owing $60K and Turning Down GoFundMe Money
Despite fans raising over $100,000, actor Mickey Rourke defaulted on a $7,000 monthly lease and lost possession of his Beverly Grove home.
- On Monday, Los Angeles County Superior Court entered a default ruling granting landlord Eric T. Goldie possession of Mickey Rourke's rental and terminating the lease agreement.
- After a three-day notice on Dec. 18 demanding $59,100, the landlord filed an eviction complaint on Dec. 29 alleging unpaid rent on the $7,000-a-month rental.
- Fans quickly raised over $100,000 via the GoFundMe campaign, which Rourke denounced as 'humiliating' in a Jan. 5 Instagram video.
- Rourke was seen removing belongings in January, with a U-Haul truck appearing and a friend assisting the move; management said he relocated to a West Hollywood hotel and planned a Koreatown apartment after severe damage at the Drexel Avenue home.
- Court records show the judgment was listed as 'possession only', meaning the decision centers on occupancy rather than financial claims, and People first reported the ruling on Tuesday.
