Following in the tradition of #MeToo and Leaving Neverland, actor Corey Feldman will go public with allegations of pedophilia against several Hollywood power players. The documentary (my) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys will stream as a one-time pay per view event March 9.
Feldman, known for roles in The Goonies and Stand By Me, has spent years trying to name names in what he describes as Hollywood’s pedophile underground. (my) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys will chronicle the sexual abuse of Feldman and his frequent costar Corey Haim at the hands of a number of men early on in the careers of both actors. Both Feldman and Haim blame the abuse for sexual confusion, emotional and substance abuse problems they struggled with later in life. Feldman eventually recovered and continues to work as an actor. Haim struggled to keep his career on track before his death of drug-related pneumonia in 2010 at age 38.

The unusual distribution strategy for the film may stem from legal issues surrounding its content. The film, financed entirely by Feldman, will air only once on pay per view. Feldman promised Haim before his death that he, Feldman, would go public with the identities of their abusers. He’s attempted to do so for more than 10 years, but run into legal issues with identifying their attackers. That includes a memoir released in 2013, in which lawyers forced Feldman to change the names to protect his abusers.
How about we take this to the next level?

Uh can someone tell this ignorant writer that it tasks more than an accusation to convict and condemn a person???
pharaon.em.joe
I wonder how you would feel if you are the one who got raped without any witnesses and you are being told what you just said.
frapachino
@ pharaonic I wonder how you would feel if someone accused you of rape but you didn’t do it???
masterwill7
@Frapachino: you are an moron! Think about this happening to your mother, would you tell her to just shut up about it because she has no proof? Or should you tell her to shut up about it now, bevause you think she should have opened her mouth when she was a child? I can’t believe people write the stupid things you wrote!
frapachino
@ master my god the ignorance is truly remarkable.
Josh447
Actually frapa,
I’m in litigation on a civil rape case right now. I know how it works. As with churches coughing up millions daily to abuse victims there is good reason.
Unlike a criminal trial that requires “beyond a shadow of a doubt” civil court/trials only requires “beyond a reasonable doubt” meaning you don’t need physical proof in a civil trial to win, only enough circumstancial evidence, psyche reports, diagnosis, testimonials etc, to win a case. And people win rape cases every day.
The biggest hurdle most rape victims have is statute of limitations. This is where Feldman and friend fell short. They were beyond statute of limitations which is usually 7 years so they couldn’t sue. There is a strong movement to get those laws changed.
So get a bit more enlightened B4 you spread misinformation. You may be actually hurting someone that actually needs the truth.

Hi Corey,
As a rape survivor myself I can say that Peter Tatchell tried this tactic in the UK many years ago. He made his point, survived, but suffered a loss of popularity which I happily restored. There is no need, simply announce the people that abused you personally; all their “friends” are instantly suspect. The best defence against libel is truth. Hope to see you soon. Kj — Love your movies.
djmcgamester
I have to assume you also don’t go along with “believe all women”. One allegation get men in trouble. One allegation has ruined the lives of innocent (by which I mean, the women later acknowledged) men. This is the same thing and, honestly, not all that hard to believe.
Scott Amundsen
Shouldn’t you hear what he has to say before condemning him?
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
Corey, its not that I doubt what you are saying. Its just that is BECAUSE its YOU who is saying this is why I just dont care. You made a porn movie twenty years ago (or should I say you appeared in something porn related) with Ron Jeremy. Why not call his fat, ugly slimy ass up and see if he can get you a job? This accusation is a clear cry for help and help is what your old, useless ass needs. Now that I think about it that job hunt I told you about, be sure its a position behind the camera or a non-nude scene.
Goforit
Sister Bertha Better than nobody. Adding on even more abuse to someone that was abused multiple times as a child seems to be true to your pitiful self. You might want to consult with your doctor and you priest to see if you have a heart or a soul. What a total waste of oxygen you are. My sympathy to those that are part of your hateful life.
djhavyk
OUCH! Why you gotta be mean and rude about it??? Unless you’ve actually BEEN Corey you really have no right to judge or criticise him like that. Maybe he was at rock bottom? Maybe he really needed the money? Maybe he was so messed up in the head from the abuse as a child that he felt he had no choice? We don’t really know why he did any of it. Could this be a cry for attention? Absolutely. But it could also be a man who finally got his head on straight and is trying to do the right thing. Regardless, he doesn’t need a judgmental queen blasting him like that. We, as a society, are better than that.

Frankly, sexual abuse would explain a lot of the behavior of both he and Haim over the years.
frankcar1965
Frankly, being a drug addict and a has been would explain this behavior too. Where is the evidence? What have the police said? Watch what you say, it better be good or they might come after you. Perfect example of a child star who could not transition to adult show business and now is bitter and old. Where is the evidence?
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
Maybe, just maybe had he mooned us (that is the least I can think of for a tease at gay men to keep them interested) we would put on our Sunday hats, pearls and heels and start marching down the street with a banner across Hollywood Blvd demanding an investigation. But as I said, this is Corey Feldman we’re talking about. Who cares? When has he ever appeared at gay events in support of us? He was around during the days when AZT was the only thing out there for HIV and for the life of me I don’t remember him opening his mouth and saying one word in our support. Now he’s facing SRO-ville and he’s crying out for financial reasons and nothing else. By now shouldn’t he have done some type of documentary about all of this? Who’s interested in anything Corey has to say other than old washed up, drugged out queens who are now in their forties, did nothing with their lives but ruin them and can’t see a legit way to get their lives on track and move out of those SRO’s they’re presently in with a free phone and wi-fi? Get real is all I say. He thought he was going to be cute all of his life but forgot about the laws of gravity and time, or should I say he didn’t learn the laws of gravity and time. Dude, go back to community college and take some remedial courses and get your life back. You proved you can’t sing (we already knew you can’t act) and now your once bubble posterior sags like to gin sugars in a drink. Lord, forgive me.

“By now shouldn’t he have done some type of documentary about all of this? ”
He has. He has spoken about the abuse for many, many years. Since he was still a youngster and long before he was ‘washed up’. He has written about it in memoirs, talked about it on tv shows, talked about it in a documentary about the Two Coreys. He’s been saying the same thing for 20some years. The only thing he has held back is the name/s of the man/men involved. I don’t remember if they were both abused by the same person.
Making a porno is a textbook action of someone sexually abused as a child. They tend to have very complex issues with their sexuality. It’s a common excuse for the drugs and the crazy that the other Corey had going on.
I don’t know if it’s true or not but there has been no reason to doubt him. We’ll just have to see what he has to say and how the accused handles it. It may just be his word, we may never know either way.
Cam
@frankcar1965
Except he’s been speaking out for years and hasn’t been arrested. There’s some proof right there. Why are you so upset that he is naming names?
batesmotel
The porn film was consented and he was an adult as opposed to being underage and having a grown man force himself on him. There’s a difference.
michel_banen
Pedophile news is NOT gay news…. too many people don’t know the difference between a pedophile that is attracked to underage boys and a gay man….. I think gay sites should avoid articles like this to not add to the confusion among the general public…. Just my opinion….
djhavyk
That’s a very good point, definitely something to consider about news stories of this nature. But I think what makes this gay news is that the story is about the victim, not the perpetrator. There’s a lot of gay men out there who were sexually assaulted when they were minors. So to all of them, this is 100% relevant. Plus a lot of us lusted after both Coreys when we were younger, so it’s relevant that way too. They have articles about hot straight guys who take their clothes off…that’s not really gay either. I think in the end it’s whatever people will read.
Chrisk
I lusted after Corey Haim. Ironically I lusted after Charlie Sheen too during that time. Ha.
ShiningSex
They’re not the same, but there are gay pedos.
IAmUp4It
banen: I 100% agree. The general public equates Pedo with Gay! Should not be on a gay site!
Mack
He has threatened this in the past. He raised money to finance the movie but yet use the money for trips and parties. He needs money and I think the threat is just to get someone to pay him to shut him up. Is the person he’s accusing even alive at this point?
RandomGuy
I’ll believe it when I see it since he’s pulled this stunt before.
Trekbike
I understand from experience what life can be like after sexual assault. But, I question his motives. If he truly cared about ending sexual violence then he wouldn’t be charging the public to pay to see the truth. I volunteer my time to help others, not charge others to understand healing. He remains in a state of cyclical harmful behavior.
Chrisk
He’s probably preparing for the fall out. You don’t just accuse the most powerful men of Hollywood of rape and not expect some kind of retribution. Especially when you’re a celebrity yourself.
Chrisk
There was a documentary I watched on Netflix called an open secret about Hollywood pedophilia. Bryan Singer was featured of coarse. Like that’s a secret. Lol Then some child agent. Charlie Sheen was implicated of raping Corey Haim as I recall.
Joshooeerr
Yes, that doco supposedly revealed all – or so they said at the time. And he did name names. And it wasn’t suppressed. So this latest “reveal all” seems like just another bite at the cherry. I’m willing to bet there’ll be nothing new.
CurtisIsTheOne
Sorry, Corey. It’s not that I don’t believe you were abused. It’s just that you have pulled this “reveal” so many times before that you have moved from the role of abused to abuser. For God’s sake, just tell the world what you have to say. And don’t make people pay for “the truth”. I think you’re looking for a payout from your alleged abuser.
djmcgamester
You read the article? It addresses why this never happened until now.
ShowMeGuy
djmc …… Feldman has pulled this media stunt three times before. Each time just before a book, reality show, or album was to get released. Now he is doing it with a pay-per-view documentary.
It is boring.
PollyDarton
Oh geeez, THIS again? He’s been threatening to reveal names for YEARS. He’ll tease information to get some publicity then disappear for awhile. Then reappear and threaten to name names. Rinse Repeat.
radiooutmike
He should come out and reveal the names.
I believe him that he and Corey Haim were abused. But all he is doing is milking this for profit. Shit or get off the pot dude.
ShiningSex
media whore? how often have you heard about him in the last five years alone???
sit down!!!
ShiningSex
He should do it for free not charge. Charging is just making it seem like he’s doing it for money when WE ALL KNOW it’s true. HELLO!!!!
You mean to tell me Harvey is the only one that did this? You don’t think there are boys/men who had to go through sh*t too like women did? Wake up ignorant people.
frankcar1965
He’s charging because he needs the money. I hope he’s ready for the lawsuits that will happen. He’s gonna need that money to defend himself. Nothing but a money grubbing good for nothing. Drugged out KUNT.
techboysf
I miss Corey Haim, but I miss you other Corey!
trsxyz
He is such a mess. I feel sorry for whatever may have happened to him at the hands of abusers. However, because he is such a mess, he is not a very credible spokesperson.
frankcar1965
Why do you assume it happened at all? Why hasn’t he gone to the authorities before now? He’s made a MOVIE instead of going to the police, this doesn’t instill confidence.
Mattster
Sadly, people who are abused as children often have issues later in life with substance abuse, mental illness, attempted suicide, problems with authority, prostitution etc.
Even more sadly, those protecting and defending accused abusers (looking at YOU, Catholic Church!) use these very symptoms against the accusers. It’s a sick cycle where the worse the results of the abuse are, the easier it is to get away with.
Not every accusation should be believed, but they should ALL be taken seriously.
GentlemanCaller
I’m not sure it lends credibility to your accusations to do them on PPV.
paul dorian lord fredine
it’s a set-up for multiple lawsuits for slander and libel. hope it sells well on pay-per-view cause he’s gonna need the money.
LilMesican
So sad that he’s lived with these demons for so long. Such talent. I hope he finds the peace of mind he’s looking for.
Chevelter
Feldman is pretty much a joke with no credibility. Who’s gonna pay a penny to hear what he has to make up, er say, now?
batesmotel
Unlike a great deal of the Me-Too people making accusations that are sometimes suspect, at least with Corey Feldman, he was one of the only few that has been talking about this for over a decade. That’s bravery. To be doing that for so long alone and no support. Now it’s easy for everyone else since it’s become a trend. But the real heroes are those that were talking about it long before everyone else was. Courtney Love said on the red carpet a decade ago to a reporter who asked if she had advice for upcoming starlets. She said, “Yeah, if Harvey Weinstein asks you to meet him in his hotel room, don’t go.” Hollywood and the public ignored that remark.
ShowMeGuy
Feldman has been talking about it for twenty years but only when he has a book, album, reality show, or movie to advertise….. and then he doesn’t actually say anything.
yaletownman
Is there some kind of pedophile troll farm designed to tear down victims in order to protect themselves? Many of the commenters here sure do take this personally as if they themselves are the accused!
Josh447
Agreed. The naysayers commenters here that are seriously triggered have sex abuse issues no doubt. Their guilt is obvious.
Whether they are the abused or the abuser hard to tell, and if they have been abused they may not know it due to repressed memory.
One thing is for sure though, sex abuse is a very very hot potatoe that carries extremely damaging results, and these flame throwers have deep abuse issues to work out to resolve their spite and rage.
Particularly Sister Bertha. She seems to be the most triggered.
brandon47240
Hasn’t he been claiming that he is about to name names for years?
ShowMeGuy
Only when he wants to advertise his new book, reality show, band’s album, and now documentary.
innocentgay
Ooh, I hope he’s well hidden. He is so not going to try to hang himself somewhere with no video surveillance.
ShowMeGuy
Feldman hit the talk show circuit 20 years ago and it was advertised that he was gonna name names, went on Oprah …..I believe…. and never named a name but talked about his book that was about to drop. Fast Forward 10 years ago, he hit the talk show circuit and it was advertised that he was naming names, went on Ellen ….. I believe….. and never named a name but talked about his NEW book that was about to drop.
Here we are now, watch my pay-per-view documentary, I’ll be naming names.
Sure you will, boy who cried “wolf”.
YES, I totally believe that “the Coreys” were molested as Hollywood child actors. Feldman’s decision to play games and milk the news for his own financial gain just puts him in a position that for the current batch of Hollywood child actors who are being molested by the very same people……Feldman is guilty of being an enabler for those predators.
