Mickey Rourke Evicted From LA Home After Default Judgment as New Photos Renew Scrutiny

New photos this week have renewed public attention on Rourke’s wellbeing while habitability and payment disputes remain unresolved.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles court entered a default judgment in March 2026 that gave landlord Eric T. Goldie immediate possession of the rented Southern California home after Mickey Rourke did not file a response.
  • Court filings by Goldie say Rourke owed about $59,100 in back rent and asked the court to end the lease and seek legal costs.
  • Rourke’s team says he withheld rent because the house had ongoing rodent infestations and repeated bathroom and plumbing failures that were not fixed despite repeated requests.
  • An online fundraiser organized by a team member raised roughly $100,000 but Rourke publicly rejected the donations, and reporting at the time said he lodged in a West Hollywood hotel after leaving the property.
  • Recent tabloid photos published this week show Rourke appearing disheveled and missing teeth, which has renewed public scrutiny of his health and left the underlying habitability and any remaining financial claims unresolved.
