Evan Rachel Wood has lashed out at her The Wrestler co-star Mickey Rourke for fueling reports the pair are dating. The young actress, who plays Rourke's daughter in the film, admits she feels "disrespected" by press reports she and the actor are an item - and she's partly blaming him for the rumors.

The couple reportedly locked lips at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, fueling romance rumors - and the actress is sick of all the speculation.

In a statement, she writes, "I’m upset because I feel disrespected by the press and by Mr. Rourke. Just because I’m single doesn’t mean that you can take advantage of me. It’s unfair that the performances (in the film) might suffer because of all of these distractions."

And Wood, who recently split from shock rocker Marilyn Manson, insists she isn't even attracted to her Wrestler co-star: "He's too old for me. Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will."
