​Veteran actor Mickey Rourke has released a statement following his eviction from a rental property.

On March 11, Rourke released a statement that addressed his eviction from his LA rental, explaining his reasons for withholding the rent he owed his landlord.. According to the actor, per TMZ, the home, located on Drexel Avenue in Los Angeles, was in a state of disrepair and not fit to live in. He claimed he attempted to have the issues fixed multiple times, but the problems remained.. “There were ongoing rodent issues that required multiple visits but were never fully resolved, and the bathroom and plumbing frequently did not work,” Rourke claimed, adding that “basic maintenance” wasn’t done in the home.. A Judge Ruled In His Landlord’s Favor. APEX / MEGA. In December 2025, Rourke’s landlord, Eric T. Goldie, filed an eviction complaint against the actor for failing to pay $59,100 in back rent.. As previously reported by The Blast, a California judge ruled in favor of Rourke’s landlord, Eric T. Goldie, on March 9.

​A royal author has made a startling revelation that Princess Diana was preparing Prince Harry to be king, as Prince William was not only “shy,” but allegedly showed that he didn’t want the role..
