In an interview, Judy Haim says she believes Feldman’s documentary fundraising and appearance on NBC's 'Today' show, is a “distraction” from his recent drug arrest — just part of “a long con.”
Actor Corey Feldman — who announced a $10 million fundraising campaign on Oct. 25 for a purported documentary meant to expose Hollywood pedophilia— will be kicking off a national TV tour on Monday with back-to-back sit-downs on NBC’s Today show with Matt Lauer and Megyn Kelly.
Spurred by a new spotlight on the intersection of sexual assault and power in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein allegations, Feldman, 46, already has brought in more than $140,000 from over 3,000 backers. He’s been assisted by an emotional YouTube promotional video in which he discusses his wish to finally identify entertainment industry predators while explaining how his public comments on the subject in recent years have hurt his professional and personal life.
Feldman’s would-be whistleblowing isn’t sitting well, however, with Judy Haim. The mother of late actor Corey Haim — Feldman’s starring cast mate in a slew of 1980s films and, according to his 2013 memoir Coreyography, a fellow sex abuse victim during their Hollywood youth — believes it’s a bogus exercise.
“He’s been talking about revealing the names of his and other abusers for seven years, since my son died,” says Judy, who has tangled with Feldman in the past about his contention that Haim, who died in 2010 at 38 of pneumonia, was repeatedly abused as a child by multiple individuals. (She’s convinced that a molestation incident involving her son occurred on a single occasion, at the hands of one man.)

And I've known drug addicts. And every washed-up, has-been drug addict in Hollywood thinks they have a shot at being the next Robert Downey Jr.
Feldman is making claims about dead actors (Haim and now River Phoenix) who aren't around to offer their side of the story. He's been stringing people along with his threat to "name names" ever since his star fell in the early 1990s but for whatever reason, he won't. Probably because doing so will close forever any shot at a return to Hollywood's good graces, which is what he wants more than anything.
Meanwhile, Feldman is a 46-year old man who still thinks it's 1987 and teen girls are still hanging posters of him on their walls. I'm not saying he was or wasn't molested but it appears right now that Feldman is enjoying the most publicity he's received in a decade and he's determined to milk it for all it's worth, which is apparently a cool $10 million.
That’s funny, I was thinking about Concrete Blonde just yesterday. Blast from the past!
Even worse, I believe she did know. Denial with extreme prejudice.
They rocked, Loved X Too
Watch yer step....
>>Wouldn’t exactly be mother of the year,
Just what I was thinking when I read this.
My kid never stole nothin! from Nobody! Hardly ever!
Naw he’s a good kid
Nothing worse than a ‘stage mom’.
Narcissistic Injury.
She has been exposed so
she’ll make her own son pay
What did your link have to do with this story? Corey² were actors.
Who is that?
Bob Forest/ Thelonios Monster
But have you known pedophiles?
WHO is exerting leverage on her>
That’s what I was thinking. She was somewhat complicit in what happened to her son and probably either feels guilty, is in denial, or wants to deflect criticism of her lack of parenting skills, or all of the above. I take her with a grain of salt.
What else could she say? “My son was molested for years by numerous perverts but I wasn’t aware. I was too busy cashing my son’s checks.”
