Corey Feldman makes stunning claims in a new documentary that late actor Corey Haim “molested” him when they were both teens.
Feldman, who co-starred with Haim in multiple films throughout the 1980s and 1990s, said the alleged abuse happened while they were both working on their first film together, The Lost Boys.
In the Marcie Hume’s produced documentary Corey Feldman vs. The World, the former child star recounted the incident saying, “When we did Lost Boys, Corey said to me, ‘Hey man, let’s mess around.’ And I said, ‘What do you mean?'”
Feldman says Haim, who died in 2010 after complications with pneumonia, replied, “‘This is what, you know, what guys in the business do, right? You know, you suck each other’s (expletive), or you (expletive) around, you do this stuff.'
“And I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ And he said, ‘Well, Charlie (Sheen) told me it was OK,'” Feldman claimed, referencing previous claims he made that the Two And A Half Men star sexually assaulted Haim, claims Sheen has denied.
During an episode of The Dr. Oz Show in 2017, Haim’s mother, Judy, said it was actor Dominick Brascia, not Sheen, who sexually abused her son. Brascia died in 2018
Feldman later explained his reasons for arranging a meeting with Haim, despite being aware of his intentions.
“I called [Haim] and said, ‘Come over.’ But you know, when you have got somebody that’s trying to come onto you sexually, and you don’t want that, and you are a kid, and you are scared, you do whatever you can to stop it from happening. And that’s what was happening. I was being molested by Corey Haim. Truth be told,” Feldman explained.
In his 2020 documentary My Truth: The Rape Of Two Coreys, Feldman previously spoke about the alleged sexual abuse that both he and Haim experienced while rising in the entertainment industry. At the time, there Feldman made no mention of Haim abusing him.
Hume noted that Corey Feldman vs. The World took nearly a decade to complete, having begun filming in 2017 at the height of the #MeToo movement.
“It was an incredibly emotional moment where Corey was almost reliving what that was like to live in this hypersexualised environment as child actors in Hollywood,” Hume said. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
