Corey Feldman has long maintained he was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of Hollywood bigwigs along with his late friend, actor Corey Haim.
In the past, Feldman’s intimated Haim was raped at 11 by a powerful Hollywood exec and that’s what led to the actor’s problems with substance abuse. Haim died in 2010 from pneumonia at 38.

Now, Feldman says he’s been marked for death since coming forward and suggesting he’ll expose a Hollywood pedophile ring — six names, he says, and one person who’s still quite powerful in the industry.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Since making that claim, Feldman says he’s been arrested and nearly killed by two speeding trucks at a crosswalk. Some members allegedly quit his band since they fear for their lives.
He wants other actors to come forward.
“I’m not alone,” he tells Slate.
“I know there are thousands of others that have experienced what I have experienced in the entertainment industry. I also know that there are peers of mine who know exactly what I’m talking about and know all of the details but have been afraid to come forward with their own truths.”
He now wants to raise $10,000,000 to “uncover the TRUTH through Coreys story in a film of his life.”
He’s already raised $101,809 for the project.
According to his IndieGogo page:
The best way, he feels, in order to tell the whole story, is for Corey to come forward in the form of a film about his life. We are embarking on a dangerous and exciting journey to get to the bottom of the truth. However in doing so there are great security risks.
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Feldman says, “I would love to name names.”
People are frustrated, people are angry, they want to know how is this happening, and they want answers — and they turn to me and they say, ‘Why don’t you be a man and stand up and name names and stop hiding and being a coward?’ I have to deal with that, which is not pleasant, especially given the fact that I would love to name names. I’d love to be the first to do it. But unfortunately California conveniently enough has a statute of limitations that prevents that from happening. Because if I were to go and mention anybody’s name I would be the one that would be in legal problems and I’m the one that would be sued. We should be talking to the district attorneys and the lawmakers in California, especially because this is where the entertainment industry is and this is a place where adults have more direct and inappropriate connection with children than probably anywhere else in the world.
No word yet on why Feldman thinks a million-dollar movie will set influential wheels in motion and ultimately upend California’s statute of limitations.

Unless he was abused by some Catholic priests, I doubt Hollywood will have any interest in Corey’s story.
Stache
I agree with you but it would be a great movie if they could make it honestly.
Herman75
Good point. Not likely an attractive movie screenplay for them to promote.
Stache
Of coarse he’s looking at the $ angle here. No better time to get the project going then now.
I have no doubt he’s being truthful about the Pedo’s in Hollywood though. Cory Haim was a hot little piece of boy ass that many of Hollywood wanted. He would be the back then Tom Daly trophy boy.
Bob LaBlah
The only snowball’s chance in hell he has of getting ANYTHING along the lines of a movie made regarding these ALLEGATIONS he is making would be to contact Johnny Rapid (the guy who offered Justin Bieber $2 million bucks about two years ago) and see if he might be interested. Young boys (or twinks if you will because I sure all of them are white and under eighteen) and pedophiles are a feature length porn movie just waiting to be made. If I were as broke as he no doubt is I would go for it.
Lets face it, if Slate was the only tabloid/blog interested in even listening to his no doubt drugged out ass then why not go for broke? He’s already lost everything else (his career, his once twinky bubble butt and his mind) so what could he do other than possibly gain something, even if its only having to tell gay blogs that a gay bareback cream pie porn producer slammed the phone down so hard it broke his eardrum. Word of advice honey, I strongly suggest you avoid approaching Michael Lucas. At least Johnny Rapid would pay you upfront.
radiooutmike
Ugh.
I do believe his claims that he and Corey Haim were abused by Hollywood men in power. But, I find him less than credible with his claims of death threats and assassination attempts.
He does not need $10 million dollars to make a movie pedophilia in Hollywood. Just a digital video cam or a smartphone plus YouTube will do. Also, why is he not naming names? Weinstein just got outed as a serial assaulter. Who is more powerful than that?
Stache
That’s a great point. I think it’s different when you’re the only one making the claim as opposed to multiple people but importantly one’s that are also powerful in their own right.
Stache
That or look at the guy that came after Brian Singer. He got smashed even though everyone knows he likes em real young.
Juanjo
You mean Michael Egan? The guy who could not keep his story straight and whose various stories were full of holes big enough to move a house.? They guy who is doing time right now for securities fraud? That Michael Egan.
I am not saying that Bryan Singer has or has not molested underage boys. I don’t know. I do not even know if there is a kernel of truth to the allegations made by Michael Egan because I don’t know and there may well be. But Egan was his own personal worst enemy.
If Corey’s case is as flimsy as Egan’s case turned out to be then he would be better served to shut his mouth.
Stache
Or wow. I didn’t know that. Lol
All I know is that he pointed out the right pedophiles. The funny thing is that Singer initially offered him $100,000 to go away. Plus, he actually successfully sued Singers pal for rape years ago for millions but the guy skipped town.
Stache
Sounds like Egan should be getting a movie deal. Lol
mhoffman953
Bryan Singer’s instagram gives strong pedo vibes with all of those pictures with underage boys

Ummmm Yeah
I have no doubt they would kill him if they had him alone and could get away with it but I hardly think Hollywood moguls have access to a team of assassins. Hitmen aren’t listed in the phone book.
Kieran
Baba Wawa looked like she wanted to kill him herself when he brought up these allegations on the View.
greybat
Although… if they DID have Hired Assassins I’d love to see Christine Lahiti and Joanna Lumley driving the Trucks!
But that would be a different kind of Movie… you know… the kind Audiences might like to see.
Jaxton
If he’s being truthful, why not visit a police station and make a report? Can’t be too hard.
mhoffman953
@Jaxton
Most of the time in these high-end sex abuse cases with super rich people, the police are paid off and nothing comes of it
I think Corey is milking this to make a buck. The documentary “An Open Secret” only cost over $1 million to make (the producers were so horrified at what they learned that they put the documentary online for free). Corey could easily do it all for free with just a few minutes on Youtube recounting stories. If Youtube would ban him and take down the videos, there is plenty of alternative media which would give him a platform.
Jack Meoff
Corey would have more credibility if he would just come forward and name names and lay charges and let the authorities do their job rather than look for a money making angle out of it.
Mike999
Corey Times is batshit crazy. No one’s going to kill him. No one even knows who he is. He has zero
credibility and is about as believable as Trump.
Donston
Corey is indeed batshit. And like a lot of batshit people he can’t get out of his own crazy way to be real and calm and collected. And considering he’s been running an undercover whorehouse he can’t really speak from a self-righteous pov.
Gus Van Sant keeps a relatively low profile and rarely gets mentioned when things like this come up, but he has always come off just as pervy and suspect Singer. He is friends with Singer. He identifies as gay but has never had a bf. Despite his huge filmography he has only made two “gay-themed” movies: “My Own Private Idaho”, which was more about very straight-leaning dudes “experimenting” for a lil while and Milk, which was boring and safe Oscar bait about a “gay hero”. Based off his movies he seems to have an obsession with straight-identifying teenage boys and he has been rumored to take in underage homeless guys and to participate in these “parties”.
Stache
Ha. I didn’t know they were buddies but I always got that vibe off of Gus Van Sant. Anyone who considers Singer a friend and actually hangs out with him you just know is a pedo himself. I’ll bet he attended Singers infamous pool parties frequently.
Aside from My own private idaho I think his movies were crappy. His movie about Columbine was pervy the way he lingered on the teens and curt curbain was horrible. Can’t believe I paid to see them.
Bob LaBlah
Have you asked yourself why is it that the ones who complain about the drug and sex parties tend to the losers who wouldn’t have made it whether or not they participated in the sex and drugs? Yes, I have noticed that and what really made me pay attention was the accusers of Kevin Clash. Not a single one of Clash’s accusers had amounted to anything and that was one of the main factors in Clash’s favor when they came forward with these abuse allegations. How many times had they been with other men and done drugs and had sex with other men before what the guy they thought was going to be their lifetime meal ticket came along? The disappointment and frustration they begin to feel makes them lash out more at themselves than the person they claimed ruined them for life. It does NOT take that many years to start crying about what happened if you were really hurt in my opinion. Once one opens his mouth then here come all the rest of the losers or opportunist. In the case of Clash one of his accusers had been arrested numerous times for rough tricks and the other was what “she” had developed into, a little woman who no one wanted to be around once he lost his youthful looks and body.
Stache
I have no doubt at all they wanted to be there at the time and consented. Then again these guys shouldn’t be dittling kids so no sympathy there either.
Singers other pal Mark Collins Rector was sued by for 5 million from the 14 yo boys parents. They did it right away and were rewarded. Coming back decades after the crime doesn’t get you buko.
Kangol
Wait, wasn’t Van Sant’s first film, Mala Noche, which came out in 1988, and his recent 2015 film I Am Michael about gay men?
Donston
You’re right about the first. However, Van Sant didn’t write nor direct “I Am Michael”. He merely co-produced it. His debut movie was about prostitution. And “I Am Sam” is about a “recovered” homosexual. He also didn’t write “Milk”, which is probably why it’s the closest thing to an uplifting gay-themed flick he’s been apart of.
It’s pretty apparent based off of his films and the things that he’s said that he contends with gay-shame, hetero-worship and views homosexuality as something subversive and hopeless. That may partially be because he’s only attracted to very, very young guys. This type of thing is also partially why there hasn’t been much of an advancement in “queer film-making” over the last thirty years.
Armiya
Mala Noche wasn’t about prostitutes. It was about a shopkeeper named Walt, who fell in love with a Mexican migrant worker who really didn’t return his affections. It is set in Portland’s Old Town area, off of West Burnside in what has historically been Skid Row. The character of Walt is borderline obsessive in the book the film is based off of. In the book there are several young migrant workers Walt fell in love with. The character in the film (Johnny) isn’t a prostitute, just a nubile youth that the protraganist propositioned. The film doesn’t go into the depth of Walt’s obsession, which in the book is actually somewhat uncomfortable.
Bob LaBlah
Some one correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he also do a movie with that repulsive Ron Jeremy, the obese obnoxious and now just outright disgusting to look at so called strait porn star about fifteen years or so ago? I sure as hell remember it. It wasn’t a sex scene but the way Jeremy………….WAIT A MINUTE. NOW I THINK I FIGURED OUT WHO HE’S GOING TO NAME AS HIS MOLESTER. First you build up the hype about it being a Hollywood producer and then he names Jeremy as his molester. Hollywood, porn, sleaze and Jeremy all go together. Now I get it. What a little opportunist this little drugged out b-tard really is. He is no different than the very thing he is claiming to have been molested by.
Donston
And also, yes, one of the reasons people don’t want to name names is not just fear of being ostracized and not working but also because no one wants to say “I gave up that ass at 16 (or whatever age) to get that role”. People who have play along and have played along for years are of course going to stay hush.
Donston
Also, also, most of the guys to have said anything are openly gay dudes. You know most of the closet cases and gay-4-roles dudes are going to stay mum.
Clay83
When all the pedo rings were busted here in the UK TV industry and the BBC they said it was happening in Hollywood. Its just a matter of time before this happens. I hope all those people involved and punished severely
veradunn8787
ghfh
like Timothy answered I am amazed that someone able to make $7869 in four weeks on the
computer . find out here…
DCguy
Oh please, he could name names and if there WAS a settlement agreement and they tried to sue him all he would have to do is publicly release the agreement.
Do I think something happened to him? Sure, I think Hollywood is full of people like that who should be arrested. But in that case, name them, sue them, send them to jail. Trying to raise money off the back of the Weinstein Scandal is beyond sick and gross.
Doug
I believe Corey Feldman experienced some sexual harrassment in the industry when he was younger, but I think he’s also desperately looking for a career right now. His band was embarrassingly bad and he can’t get roles. He’s also struck me as kind of a sleazy guy who blows things way out of proportion. Ten milion dollars raised from an Indiegogo effort to make a film about himself? Please. He’s doing everything he can to capitalize off the Weinstein scandal. If he really cared about pedophilia in the industry, he’d be naming names and bringing other witnesses forward, not expecting the public to pay him big money for it.
cvdixon29
I always suspected he had been abused.
Bob LaBlah
Abused HELL. That talent deficient little opportunist KNEW damn well if he had sex with those guys the paychecks would keep coming in and went for it. Let us not forget there are PLENTY of us on this thread who were young, had sex with other teens and men that were older than us and seemed to have come out of it ok. Since he was more or less washed up over twenty years ago (two decades mind you) why did it take all of these years to come forward with these allegations?
