Mickey Rourke has claimed he stopped paying nearly $60,000 in rent on his Los Angeles home because the property had become 'unacceptable' to live in, days after court papers showed his lease had been cancelled and weeks after he was photographed checking into a West Hollywood hotel with his dog.
This comes after the 73-year-old Oscar nominee was reported in January to have been served with a notice demanding $59,100 in back rent or vacating the property within three days. Soon afterwards, a GoFundMe page appeared online, purporting to raise money to help Rourke avoid eviction, and ultimately raised more than $100,000 before it was taken down.
