In New Doc, Corey Feldman Alleges That Corey Haim ‘Molested’ Him While Making ‘The Lost Boys’

In Marcie Hume’s new documentary “Corey Feldman vs. The World,” the child star alleges that Corey Haim molested him while making the 1987 film “The Lost Boys.”

Feldman and Haim skyrocketed to fame in the 1980s after working together on the blockbuster movie and quickly became young Hollywood heartthrobs. They collaborated on popular comedies, including “License to Drive” and “Dream a Little Dream,” and basked in being Hollywood royalty in their early teens. Haim died in 2010. He was 38 years old.

“When we did ‘Lost Boys,’ Corey said to me, ‘Hey man, let’s mess around,'” Feldman says in the doc. “And I said, ‘What do you mean?'”

According to Feldman, Haim said, “‘This is what, you know, what guys in the business do, right? You know, you suck each other’s dicks, or you fuck around, you do this stuff.’ And I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ And he said, ‘Well, Charlie [Sheen] told me it was OK.'” (Sheen has denied and contested Feldman’s claims, saying, “These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred. Period.”)

Feldman goes on to tell Hume that, although he knew what Haim wanted from the meeting, he “set it up.”

“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 tells Hume.

The actor had previously revealed that he and Haim were victims of sexual abuse in their youth. In 2017, while the doc was being filmed, Feldman launched a so-called “Truth Campaign” to finance a documentary about his life and uncover the truth surrounding sexual abuse in Hollywood. The goal was to raise $10 million. The result of those efforts was the 2020 documentary “My Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys.” The film emphasized that Feldman and Haim were victims, and centered on alleged sexual assaults experienced by them in the 1980s. There was no mention of Haim abusing Feldman.

Hume doesn’t press Feldman about his accusations against Haim. At the time of the interview, the #MeToo movement was at its height, and Feldman was being asked to name Hollywood predators.

“It was an incredibly emotional moment where Corey was almost reliving what that was like to live in this hypersexualized environment as child actors in Hollywood,” Hume says.

Hume says that “Corey Feldman vs. The World” started out as a comeback story of sorts. Close to a decade in the making, the actor-turned-singer invited Hume to film him and his all-female band, “Corey’s Angels,” during their 2017 nationwide tour.

“Corey wanted to tell his truth,” says Hume.

That truth is hard to watch, which might be why Feldman refuses to promote the film.

In the doc, Feldman says that he formed Corey’s Angels to support female artists in realizing their dreams. But what those dreams might be is unclear. Some Angels are actual musicians hoping to further their music careers, while others are clearly just seeking fame via Feldman’s fading stardom. Feldman is filmed dressing his bandmates in barely-there lingerie for a photo shoot and hitting on a female fan, who looks intoxicated. Hume’s cameras captured a hyper-sexualized environment that Feldman created.

Eventually, ex-Angels tell Hume about what she didn’t catch on camera: Feldman restricting what they ate, wore, and when they could shower, as well as not paying them.

“I couldn’t capture everything,” she says. “I definitely did capture a moment in time, but I don’t feel like I got the entire, complete picture.”

One Angel who lived with Feldman and his then-wife/Angel Courtney Anne Mitchell Feldman tells Hume that the band was a “straight-up sex cult.”

“Corey has many, many layers that contradict one another,” Hume says. “Part of what emerged with this film is opening up as many questions as possible and opening up the view of Corey. Even though I knew that I couldn’t answer many questions about him, I could only open the aperture.”

Representatives for Sheen and Feldman did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.

“Corey Feldman vs. The World” is available to purchase on Apple, Amazon and YouTube.
