Bella Thorne Made Disturbing Allegations About Working With Mickey Rourke
Earlier this week, JoJo informed the former wrestler that she is gay. "If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay anymore...I'll tie you up," he replied. Mickey was subsequently issued a warning for his numerous comments and apologized to Jojo.
In light of his comments, Bella spoke about her own experiences working with Mickey on the set of the 2020 movie Girl."This fucking dude. GROSS," she wrote on Instagram and X.
She then detailed a scene where her hands were "zip tied" while she was on her knees. "He's supposed to take a metal grinder to my knee cap and instead he used it on my genitals thru my jeans. Hitting them over and over again," she alleged. "I had bruises on my pelvic bone — Working with Mickey was one of the all time worst experiences of my life working as an actress."
"So many gross stories of things he made me go thru on that movie, including in his last scene to speed up and rev his engine so he could cover me completely in dirt. Idk I guess he thought it was funny to humiliate me in front of the entire crew," the 27-year-old further alleged.
She further alleged that she had to go to Mickey's trailer "absolutely alone because he refused to speak to the director or producers." Bella claimed of working with the 72-year-old, "I had to convince him to show up and complete his job, as he shouted crazy demands that he wanted from the producers. In fact I had to beg. Alone. In his trailer. Since the movie could not be finished without him. Everyone's work would've just been lost and completely for nothing. I didn't wanna do it. I was uncomfortable, but I did what I was asked to do and what was best for the movie."
As an additional note, she wrote, "Fuck Mickey - how he acted doesn't negate the incredible hard work that everybody else put into that movie. Everyone worked HARD literal blood, sweat, and tears to make that vision and I'm really proud of everyone and the work that was done on that movie."

Wrestling Legend Chris Jericho Sparks WWE Return Speculation
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A simple social media interaction from Chris Jericho has ignited a firestorm of speculation about his future in professional wrestling. With his AEW contract reportedly expiring at the end of 2025, fans are wondering if a historic return to WWE could be on the horizon. Jericho, who has been absent from AEW television for several months, "liked" a notable Instagram post over the weekend. The post recapped his own previous comments about being open to a WWE return. Chris Jericho's Telling "Like" The Instagram post in question discussed Jericho's expiring AEW contract and revisited a past interview where he said a WWE return "would depend on the situation." Jericho's acknowledgment of this post, at a time when his future is so uncertain, was immediately picked up by fans as a potential hint. This social media activity has fueled intense discussion. It comes as Jericho is at a major crossroads in his legendary career. Chris Jericho has liked a post on Instagram about being open to a return to WWE once his contract with AEW expires at the end of this year. — Wrestle Ops (@WrestleOps) August 17, 2025 Chris Jericho's AEW Absence Chris Jericho has not been seen on AEW programming since April 2025. He was written off television after a storyline where he walked out on his "Learning Tree" stable. According to a recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, his touring commitments with his band, Fozzy, are now finished, making a return to wrestling imminent. CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - January 4, 2025: Adam "Cope" Copeland of Rated FTR faces off with Chris Jericho of The Learning Tree during AEW Collision. CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - January 4, 2025: Adam "Cope" Copeland of Rated FTR faces off with Chris Jericho of The Learning Tree during AEW Collision. Ricky Havlik/AEW More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match The question is, which company will he return to? It is publicly known that his AEW contract expires at the end of this year. AEW has a history of keeping talent off of television in the final months of their deals, which could suggest that fans have already seen the last of Jericho in an AEW ring. Chris Jericho was a foundational figure for AEW, giving the upstart promotion immediate main event credibility when he signed in 2019 and became the first-ever AEW World Champion. He has been one of the company's highest-paid stars ever since. However, at 54 years old and working a more limited schedule, a new, seven-figure contract would be a significant business decision for both Jericho and AEW President Tony Khan. This has led to the speculation that he may be considering other options. A potential return to WWE, the company where he became a multi-time world champion and a guaranteed future Hall of Famer, would be a monumental story. While his "like" may just be him acknowledging the fan discussion, it has guaranteed that the wrestling world will be watching his every move for the remainder of the year.

Gal Gadot clarifies comments about pro-Israeli stance causing ‘Snow White' to flop
Gal Gadot is backtracking her recent comments about why 'Snow White' flopped. During her appearance on the Israeli TV show 'The A Talks' on Thursday, the 40-year-old actress stated that anti-Israeli sentiment in Hollywood caused the Disney remake to completely bomb at the box office in March. 'I was positive the movie was going to be a huge hit. And then Oct. 7 happened, and what happened all over in different industries, not just Hollywood, there was a lot of pressure put on celebrities, actors, creators to post against Israel,' Gadot said.

'I was honored to join an extraordinary interview with inspiring interviewers, whose questions go straight to the heart,' she wrote on her Instagram Stories.

When the film came out, I felt that those who are against Israel criticized me in a very personal, almost visceral way,' the Israeli star continued. 'They saw me, first and foremost, as an Israeli, not as an actress. That's the perspective I spoke from when I answered the question.' Gadot added: 'Of course, the film didn't fail solely because of external pressures. There are many factors that determine why a film succeeds or fails, and success is never guaranteed.'

Gadot, who played the Evil Queen in 'Snow White,' explained on 'The A Talks' that she believed the movie's success was 'affected' by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. 'I can always explain and try to give people in the world context about the situation and the reality in Israel, and I always do that,' she shared. 'But at the end, people make up their own minds. And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn't do well at the box office.' Advertisement 9 Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler in 'Snow White.'

Kevin Federline Is a 'Professional Father,' According to Sam Asghari
Though Britney Spears and Sam Asghari finalized their divorce last December, The Traitors star is still coming to his ex's defense. Sam had a few words to say about Britney's other ex, Kevin Federline, and his parenting style, during a recent interview with TMZ. His comment comes after the former pro dancer announced his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, which covers 'fame, fatherhood and the private cost of public life—from one of pop culture's most misunderstood figures.' 'He was a professional father,' Sam said about K-Fed, who welcomed two sons, Sean and Jayden, with Britney in 2005 and 2006. 'So, it would be the first book that would tell you how to be a professional father.' 'This book is extremely intimate and transparent,'Kevin wrote in a press release, per TMZ. 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak, and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced nonstop emotional turbulence.' Aside from his children with the 'Baby... One More Time' hitmaker, Kevin shares two grown children, Kori and Kaleb, with his ex-fiancée, Shar Jackson, and two younger kids, Jordan and Peyton, with his current wife, Victoria Prince. In May 2023, Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told People that Britney had 'consented' to their sons, Sean and Jayden, moving to Hawaii to be with their dad. 'It's an opportunity for Kevin and his wife, and the boys are ready to get away from the L.A. microscope,' K-Fed's lawyer said at the time. A few years later, Britney shared that she had reunited with her youngest, Jayden, to celebrate New Year's Eve in a sweet Instagram post. 'I hadn't seen him in 2 and half years or maybe 3 !!!' Britney wrote in the caption of her post, which featured photos of Jayden posing outdoors. She continued, praising her son for his piano skills that she would later mention in another social media post that has since been deleted. 'I'm in shock !!! He came back and he feels older and smarter than me !!! He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!! When he plays the whole earth shakes !!!' Kevin's tell-all, You Thought You Knew, comes nearly two years after Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, was published. It's set to release on October 21.
