Thorne has slammed actor Rourke for his alleged sexual harassment acts against her while they filmed "Girl" in 2020.

In what she described as "one of the all-time worst experiences of my life," Thorne claimed Rourke "bruised her genitals" when he continually smashed a metal grinder into her crotch instead of her knees.

The 27-year-old actress took to Instagram to make the claims, sharing a screenshot of an article about the Hollywood star being warned by a "Celebrity Big Brother" anchor due to his homophobic remarks on the show.

"This f--king dude. GROSS," she wrote. "I had to work with this man - In a scene Where I'm on my knees with my hands zip tied around my back."

She continued, "He's supposed to take a metal grinder to my knee cap and instead he used it on my genitals [through] my jeans. Hitting them over and over again."

Thorne added that she "had bruises on my pelvic bone" and working with the veteran actor "was one of the all time worst experiences of my life working as an actress."

In the 2020 thriller, "Girl," Thorne starred as a young girl who returns to her hometown to kill her abusive father but learns that he has been murdered by someone else.

Rourke played the role of the local sheriff alongside other cast members, including Chad Faust, Elizabeth Saunders, Lanette Ware, and Glen Gould.

In a separate post, Thorne claimed that Rourke "humiliated" her on the set of the film.

She said, "So many gross stories of things he made me go [through] on that movie, including in his last scene to speed up and rev his engine so he could cover me completely in dirt."

"[I don't know], I guess he thought it was funny to humiliate me in front of the entire crew," Thorne added.

Thorne continued her recollection of Rourke's alleged past actions that made her "uncomfortable" by sharing a story of how she had to beg him to complete their movie.

"Having to go in his trailer absolutely alone because he refused to speak to the director or producers - so I had to convince him to show up and complete his job, as he shouted crazy demands that he wanted from the producers," Thorne continued.

"In fact, I had to beg. Alone. In his trailer. Since the movie could not be finished without him. Everyone's work would've just been lost and completely for nothing," she said, adding that she was "uncomfortable" but that she "did what I was asked to do and what was best for the movie."

"Mickey should've never put anybody in that movie in any of those positions that he did," she added.

Thorne's allegations against Rourke come in light of his recent scandal involving JoJo Siwa on the set of "Celebrity Big Brother."

The "9 1/2 Weeks" actor left viewers in shock when he branded Siwa a "f-g" before going on to body shame actress Donna Preston and insult Patsy Palmer's cooking skills.

Many fans questioned why his offensive comments were only directed at women with others asking that he be removed from the house.

"Do you like girls or boys?" Rourke asked Siwa, per the Daily Mail, to which she replied, "Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary."

He then insinuated that he would be able to "make her straight," saying, "If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay anymore."

Siwa replied, "I can guarantee I'll still be gay, and I'll still be in a very happy relationship."

He didn't stop there, telling Chris Hughes that if everyone had the chance to vote somebody out, he was "going to vote the lesbian out real quick."

His take upset Siwa, who retorted, "That's homophobic, if that was your reasoning," as Hughes defended her, telling Rourke he "can't do that."

Meanwhile, Thorne recently opened up about one of her "best memories" after finding fame on Disney's "Shake It Up" alongside Zendaya.

The pair didn't seem to get along initially but were able to work out their differences after having a conversation for a couple of hours.

"One of my favorite memories is me and Zendaya getting really close on the Good Luck Charlie 'Shake It Up' episode," the actress told Us Weekly.

"We had a struggle in our relationship beforehand with everything and we sat down for, like, two hours on a closed-off set on a different stage and really got personal and one-on-one with each other," she shared.

"That was a really beautiful moment," Thorne continued. "That's the first time I remember having that moment with [another] girl, getting able to establish that relationship and be honest with one another and really hear each other's experiences. That will always be a fun memory."
