If it is its at least the fourth ocassion he's been challenged in it
Twice in the house
And background:
"In 2008, the actor came under fire for branding a journalist the f-word after they asked if he was dating The Wrestler co-star Evan Rachel Wood.
He said at the time: 'She's a good friend, that's it. And tell that fgot who wrote all that st in the paper I'd like to break his f*g legs"
Mickey caused outrage with the remarks but refused to apologise, telling reporters: 'I don't really give a f**k. Life's too short.
'I have more gay friends than any 50 straight people I know, so I don't really give a s**t. I meant what I said.'
Yet following mounting backlash, he went back on this word, releasing a statement that read: 'I want to sincerely apologize for the derogatory word I used.
'It was insensitive and inappropriate of me and I am deeply sorry that I may have offended anyone.'
Two years prior, Mickey found himself in similar trouble when he used the F-word to describe a drunken fan who he almost got into a fight with.
Defending his usage, he told New York's Time Out magazine: 'Look, I'm not afraid to say the word f*g. I've got plenty of gay friends. We toss the word around."
