Mickey Rourke says he needs to refund $90,000 from his GoFundMe account

Mickey Rourke said he still needs to pay back $90,000 from a GoFundMe campaign set up to prevent eviction.

On Thursday, January 15, Rourke, 73, shared a series of posts on Instagram, calling the fundraiser a “scam” and saying she was “very angry.”

Rourke added that more than $100,000 had been raised on the GoFundMe page “by concerned strangers and others,” and said his attorney was “doing everything in our power” to return the funds.

“To tell you the truth, I still have money left over ($90,000) that I need to repay to the parties I sent the money to,” the actor and former wrestler wrote. He urged fans to send “strong prayers” to his friend Eric Dane, who exclusively told PEOPLE last April that he was instead diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

In another Instagram post, the pro wrestling star wrote, “Very cruel lies to use my name to extract money (shame on my mom),” adding that there would be “serious repercussions” for “the individual who did this very awful thing to me.”

As PEOPLE reported earlier this month, Rourke was given a notice in December to either pay $59,100 in unpaid rent or vacate his Los Angeles property within three days. A crowdfunding campaign was then launched to “cover immediate housing-related expenses” and “prevent” him from losing his home.

In a video shared to his Instagram profile on January 5, Rourke mentioned the campaign, claiming he had no knowledge of it.

He said he was “frustrated” and “confused” and couldn’t understand why someone would set up a GoFundMe campaign on his behalf.

“That’s not me, okay?” he continued at the time. “Rather, if I need money, I don’t want to ask for some frivolous charity. I’d rather stick a gun up my butt and pull the trigger.”

Rourke addressed “who did this?” and added, “In a million years, I wouldn’t know what the GoFundMe Foundation is. My life is very simple and I wouldn’t rely on outside sources like that.”

The campaign was started by a woman named Lia-Joel Jones, who describes herself as an assistant to Rourke’s manager, Kimberly Hines. She said on GoFundMe that the piece was “created with Mickey’s full permission.”

When asked about Rourke’s latest social media post, Hines told PEOPLE in an email on Friday, Jan. 16, “I have given him the go-ahead and appropriate documentation to facilitate full refunds to donors.” She added that she has been paying the actor’s cable bills, bringing him film offers and “passing it on while he relentlessly pursues his A-level opportunities”.

“I remain loyal and resilient because I believe in his incredible talent,” Hines added in an email to PEOPLE.

Hines previously told The Hollywood Reporter in an article published on January 6 that the fundraiser was set up by his team for the actor, and that all proceeds will go to him. She also admitted that although she told the actor, he may not have fully understood what was happening at the time.

“We said, ‘Mickey, there’s someone who wants to help you.’ He was like, ‘Okay, great.’ I don’t think he understood, and now with this media frenzy, he flipped out,” Hines told THR.

“No one was trying to hurt Mickey,” she added. “I want him to work, but I don’t want him on GoFundMe.”

She said at the time that his team “moved him out of the house” and “put him up” in a West Hollywood hotel, adding that they “financed his move, hotel, movers and storage.”

Hines told the magazine that the Iron Man 2 actor should consider taking the money.

“There’s no one else in his life other than his assistant and manager,” she said. “He should probably get this assistance because there’s only so long I can loan him unless he goes back to work. I’m not Getty. I’m a working woman.”

She said everyone on Rourke’s team is “here to help[him]get him back on his feet, get him back to work, make the movie, tell the story, create the character and be the Mickey Rourke that we all know and love. That’s my goal.”

Hines added at the time: “If we don’t want help from people who want to support Mickey and his fans, that money will be refunded.”
