Mickey Rourke once again took to Instagram to address the GoFundMe fiasco <\/a>launched by his manager after news that The Wrestler\u00a0actor was facing eviction after being sued by his landlord<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cVicious cruel godamm lie to hustle money using my fuckin name so motherfuckin enbarassing,\u201d Rourke wrote on a social media post<\/a>. \u201cThere will b severe repercussions to individual who did this very bad thing to me and anyone who knows me knows payback k will be goddamm severe!!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

The post was one in several<\/a> the actor shared on Thursday, Jan. 15, including one wishing his friend, fellow actor Eric Dane<\/a>, who revealed his ALS diagnosis<\/a>\u00a0last year, well. In another, Rourke wrote in the caption alongside a black-and-white photo<\/a> of himself, that over $100,000 had been raised by \u201d CONCERNED STRANGERS\u201d and that his attorney was working on getting the money returned to donors. He added that there is still $90,000 that needs to refunded and urged people to get their money back. \u201cTHE PERSON WHO PULLED THIS CRAP SHOULDNT GET ONE FUCEN DOLLAR,\u201d the actor wrote and said that his main concern at the moment was the wellbeing of Dane.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Rourke\u00a0said that he was not involved with the\u00a0GoFundMe campaign<\/a> launched under the premise of helping the actor to stay in his home, saying it was \u201chumiliating\u201d and that he would \u201cnever ask strangers or fans or anybody for a nickel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimberly Hines, who\u2019s been Rourke\u2019s manager for over a decade and launched the\u00a0GoFundMe<\/a> with her assistant, told\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>\u00a0that the fundraiser was not a \u201cgrift.\u201d Hines said that the actor was aware of who was behind the effort, while also acknowledging that it was possible Rourke didn\u2019t fully understand what a GoFundMe was when she presented the idea to him.<\/p>\n

Following Rourke\u2019s denouncement of the GoFundMe, Hines told fans\u00a0that if Rourke didn\u2019t want the money, donors would be reimbursed. \u201cHe\u2019s calling me for money. He\u2019s calling friends for money,\u201d claimed Hines. \u201cA GoFund is set up for him, and now he\u2019s rejecting it? \u2018OK, Mick, no problem.\u2019 But nobody here has done anything wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
