Mickey Rourke has broken his silence following his recent eviction. The ‘Wrestler’ actor is speaking out on his decision to withhold nearly $60,000 in rent before he was ordered to vacate his Los Angeles home following a March 9 judgement obtained by E! News, which was entered in favor of his landlord, Eric Goldie. "The reason I stopped paying rent was because the living conditions in the house had become unacceptable,” he said in a March 11 statement to E! News. “For months there were serious problems that repeatedly went unaddressed despite my efforts to have them fixed.” The 73-year-old added there were “ongoing rodent issues” that were “never fully resolved” and that he was dealing with frequent issues with the bathroom and plumbing. And while he said he made “repeated requests for repairs,” he alleged the issues were not fixed and “basic maintenance was never properly handled.” Rourke added, "Withholding rent was not a decision I made lightly. I simply could not continue paying for a house that was in such poor condition after so many attempts to have these issues corrected.” E! News has reached out to the attorney for Rourke’s landlord Goldie for comment but has not heard back.
