00:01It's Mickey Rock, everyone!

00:03Yeah, it is!

00:04And he's thinking about suing Celebrity Big Brother

00:07for pulling a fast one and costing him money,

00:09a lot of which he had already spent,

00:11and we'll get into that.

00:12He got booted off the show.

00:14Because he was getting a little homophobic with JoJo Siwa.

00:17If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay anymore.

00:20I'm gonna vote the lesbian out real quick.

00:22And for getting aggressive with housemate Chris Hughes

00:24while dressed as a pirate for some reason.

00:26Don't eyeball me.

00:27Mickey's a joke.

00:28Don't eyeball me.

00:30Why is he suing?

00:31The rep is claiming producers purposely removed him one day

00:35before he would be contractually up to get a lot more money.

00:39So they basically got a bang for no buck.

00:42Tommy's impressed with the producers.

00:45Totally!

00:46There's more.

00:47The rep says Mickey was promised first-class accommodations in London,

00:50so Mickey booked himself and his people into some super swanky hotel.

00:54Then the producers tell him...

00:56Oh yeah, we're only paying for $300 a night a room.

00:59His bill was $50k.

01:00Oh my god!

01:03If they just said, we'll give you a great accommodation,

01:06and he picks something that's gonna cost 50 grand, this is on him.

01:10The producers agreed.

01:11Mickey's rep says they deducted it from his pay.

01:13And according to sources...

01:15He only did Celebrity Big Brother is because he's not doing very well financially.

01:19Guess that 90s sitcom didn't pay residuals.

01:22Okay, there was no 90s sitcom, but there should have been.

01:25As for Big Brother booting him before the pay hike...

01:27Even if they did it intentionally, why can't they?

01:30I don't know how contracts work, man.

01:32And you just keep it that way.

01:34Anyway, shocking it didn't work out, Mickey.

01:36Have you considered RuPaul's Drag Race?

01:38This is RuPaul's Drag Race.
