Rourke Regrets Past Actions Towards Ex-Wife Otis
3 Jun
Summary
- Mickey Rourke publicly accepted blame for his past marriage's issues.
- He acknowledged his ex-wife Carré Otis was not at fault.
- This marks a shift from his previous dismissive remarks about her memoir.
Mickey Rourke recently shared a reflective Instagram post concerning his ex-wife, Carré Otis, admitting fault for the difficulties in their past marriage. The actor, 73, reposted footage related to their 1989 film 'Wild Orchid,' stating that Otis was not to blame and that he regretted his actions. This public statement represents a notable change in tone from his previous reactions to Otis's accounts.
Rourke and Otis were married from June 1992 to December 1998, after meeting on the set of 'Wild Orchid.' In 2011, Otis published 'Beauty, Disrupted,' detailing her experiences, including what she described as an abusive marriage to Rourke. At the time of the memoir's release, Rourke had publicly dismissed its contents.
His latest comments contrast sharply with his 2011 appearance on 'Piers Morgan Tonight,' where he referred to Otis's memoir as "sour grapes" and "delusional." The current shift indicates Rourke is no longer publicly discrediting Otis's narrative. Otis has since continued her work in modeling and advocacy and is remarried with two daughters.
