A recent interview with Elijah Wood has reignited the conversation on pedophilia in the entertainment business.
Enter former child star Corey Feldman, who has long made public accusations that Tinseltown is rife with the sexual abuse of children and minors, citing his own life experiences as proof of as much.
Throughout the years Feldman has documented in disturbing detail how he was preyed upon by men in the industry.
And in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Feldman spilled the beans on his traumatic experiences.
“I had to go through a lot of therapy and group therapy and rehabilitation and all sorts of things to be put on this ground that I’m on now,” Corey reveals…which given his eccentric lifestyle begs the question what he’d look like if he hadn’t done therapy…
Feldman went on to talk about the horrible sexual abuses his late friend and 80s co-star Corey Haim experienced.
“With me, there were some molestations and it did come from several hands, so to speak, but with Corey, his was direct rape, whereas mine was not actual rape,” Feldman went on to explain.
“And his also occurred when he was 11. My son is 11 now and I can’t even begin to fathom the idea of something like that happening to him.” Corey concluded.
“I’m not able to name names,” Feldman insisted.
“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,” Corey exclaimed. “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.”
His conclusion was perhaps his most somber quip of all.
“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.”
