Corey Feldman Retracts Controversial Corey Haim Molestation Claim Following Family Criticism
If you thought the tragic, tangled history of Hollywood’s favorite 80s duo couldn’t get any more heartbreaking, then brace yourself. The legacy of Corey Feldman and Corey Haim – the once the inseparable icons of beloved vampire flick “The Lost Boys” – has taken a turn that makes their reality show arguments look like child’s play.
A Tale of Two Coreys
In the documentary, “Corey Feldman vs. the World,” Feldman dropped a bombshell that has fans shaken and Haim’s family enraged. He is alleging that his late best friend made unwanted sexual advances toward him back in the day, igniting a war of words that is as messy as it is sad.
We aren’t just talking about a rift between friends here; we are talking about accusations that fundamentally shift how we view their dynamic. But as with everything involving Feldman, the story is complicated, legally dense, and emotionally raw.
The Accusation That Shook “The Lost Boys” Legacy
Here’s the rundown. In the new doc, Corey Feldman reflects on the filming of the 1987 vampire classic “The Lost Boys.” He claims that a then-15-year-old Corey Haim cornered him and asked to “mess around.” According to Feldman, Haim allegedly justified the advance by saying it was “what guys in the business do,” implying that this was standard behavior in the corrupt ecosystem of Hollywood.
Feldman, who was 16 at the time, says he was scared and shut it down immediately. In the documentary footage, Feldman explicitly states, “I was being molested by Corey Haim. Truth be told.” Wow. It paints Haim not just as a victim of the industry – which Feldman has claimed for years – but as a perpetrator of the cycle of abuse.
Semantics or Safety? Feldman Clarifies the ‘Molestation’ Claim
Naturally, dropping the “M” word caused an immediate firestorm. However, in a move that has many scratching their heads, Feldman’s legal team had to step in to clarify exactly what he meant. While the documentary uses the word “molested,” his lawyers told Us Weekly that Feldman isn’t accusing Haim of physical sexual assault.
Instead, they claim the term was used to describe the unwanted verbal advance. The statement clarified that Haim sought to “mess around,” but Feldman didn’t reciprocate. It’s a semantic distinction that matters legally, but it doesn’t do much to quell the emotional turbulence this has caused. It feels like we are parsing definitions of trauma in real-time, which is uncomfortable for everyone involved.
Judy Haim Fires Back at Corey Feldman
If you think the internet is upset, that is nothing compared to Judy Haim. Corey Haim’s mother has gone fully scorched-earth on Feldman. Speaking to TMZ, she didn’t mince words, accusing Feldman of spewing lies just to stay relevant.
Judy Haim’s defense is two-fold. First, she insists she was a constant presence on the set of “The Lost Boys,” implying there was no window for this alleged incident to occur. Second, she vehemently denies that her son would ever make a pass at a man, stating he was a “one-woman man.”
For Judy Haim, this feels like a betrayal of the highest order – a friend using her son’s name to sell a documentary when he isn’t here to defend himself. She’s even threatening legal action for defamation. It is the kind of motherly rage that is genuinely painful to witness.
The Tragic History of The Two Coreys
This latest chapter is just another sad note in a symphony of disasters for the duo. We all remember “The Two Coreys” reality show, which was supposed to be a fun reunion but ended up documenting the disintegration of their friendship and Haim’s losing battle with addiction. Haim passed away in 2010 from pneumonia and heart issues, leaving a huge void that Feldman has been trying to fill (or explain) ever since.
Feldman has spent the last decade on a crusade to expose Hollywood pedophilia. He previously claimed Haim was abused by Charlie Sheen (which Sheen denied and mom Judy Haim refuted). Now, by turning the lens onto Haim himself, Feldman is complicating the narrative of “victim vs. villain.”
Whether you believe Feldman is speaking his truth or, as Judy Haim claims, “poisoning people’s heads,” there is one thing that’s undeniable: the story of the Coreys unfortunately has no happy ending. It is a stark reminder of how the film industry can chew up its young stars and leave them fighting battles long after the cameras stop rolling.
