Mickey Rourke’s manager insists GoFundMe is real after he disavowed it

Mickey Rourke’s longtime manager has insisted that a controversial GoFundMe campaign was in fact launched on his behalf Sunday, as his team was frantically helping the financially beleaguered actor move out of his Los Angeles home because he owed $59,000 in back rent and was being evicted.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the manager, Kimberly Hines, said it’s become clear that her 73-year-old boss didn’t understood the implications of her and her assistant launching the GoFundMe.
