Paedophilia is Hollywood’s Biggest Problem, Explosive Claim by Former Child Star Corey Feldman
Actor Corey Feldman has sensationally claimed that his Lost Boys co-star Corey Haim was the victim of a paedophile who was also a Hollywood mogul.
The Lost Boys actor said he was ’literally surrounded’ by paedophiles at the age of 14, but didn’t realise ’until I was much older what they were and what they wanted.’
In a special report, ’Underage And Famous’ for ABC’s Nightline show, Feldman blamed former co-star Corey Haim’s death at the age 38 on the abuse he suffered at the hands of a ’Hollywood mogul’ he refused to name.
The 40-year-old former child star said that paedophiles were ’like vultures’ in the entertainment industry and alleged that the ’casting couch’ even applies to children.
The pair were two the Eighties biggest child stars, alongside River Phoenix, and in addition to The Lost Boys, Feldman starred in iconic eighties movies The Goonies, Stand By Me and The ’Burbs.
He told Nightline: ’The number one problem in Hollywood was, is and always will be paedophilia," he said.
’It’s all done under the radar... But it’s the big secret.’
’There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around this group of kids. And they they had power or connections to great power in the industry.
’I was surrounded by them when I was 14 and I didnt even know it. It was only when I was old enough to know what they were.
’They all had either their own power, or connections to great power in the entertainment industry.’
In 2008, the pair who confronted each other on their reality show, The Two Coreys. Haim said to Feldman: ’You let me get f***** around in my life, raped, when I was about 14 and a half.
’So I’m asking you, what did you do when you saw that s*** going down?’
To which Feldman responded: ’I was being molested at the same time... what did you do about it?’
The 40-year-old previously revealed in an interview with GQ that he was molested by his assistant as a child.
Feldman says he believes the trauma of the abuse affected Haim for the rest of his short life. He died last year aged 38.
He said: ’The person that knows who did it and knows who he is is watching right now I guarantee it.
’There’s a lot of good people in this industry and there’s a lot of really, really sick corrupt people in this industry.
’And there are people that have got away with it for so long that they think there above the law and that’s got to stop.’
Feldman, who married wife Susie on a reality show in 2002, said that he would not put is son, Zen, seven in movies.
He is also one of very few stars who won’t allow his child to be photographed on the red carpet.
Haim’s mother was contacted for comment but told Nightline she refused to respond to anything Feldman had to say. She added she wished he would only talk about himself.
Feldman was not invited to the funeral of his former co-star.
While his career has not reached the stellar heights of his child actor years, he recently starred alongside 80’s pop star Debbie Gibson as Kathy Beth Terry’s parents, Katy Perry’s alter-ego in her Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) video.
Last year his rock group Feldman and Truth Movement released the Eco friendly album Titled "Technology Analogy".

Corey Feldman Says Paedophilia is Hollywood’s Biggest Problem.Who runs Hollywood? C’mon
How Jewish is Hollywood?By Joel Stein | December 19, 2008
LA Times:
Who runs Hollywood? C’monA poll finds more Americans disagree with the statement that ’Jews control Hollywood.’ But here’s one Jew who doesn’t.
How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.
The person they were yelling at in that ad was SAG President Alan Rosenberg (take a guess). The scathing rebuttal to the ad was written by entertainment super-agent Ari Emanuel (Jew with Israeli parents) on the Huffington Post, which is owned by Arianna Huffington (not Jewish and has never worked in Hollywood.)

The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.
As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you’d be flipping between "The 700 Club" and "Davey and Goliath" on TV all day.
So I’ve taken it upon myself to re-convince America that Jews run Hollywood by launching a public relations campaign, because that’s what we do best. I’m weighing several slogans, including: "Hollywood: More Jewish than ever!"; "Hollywood: From the people who brought you the Bible"; and "Hollywood: If you enjoy TV and movies, then you probably like Jews after all."
I called ADL Chairman Abe Foxman, who was in Santiago, Chile, where, he told me to my dismay, he was not hunting Nazis. He dismissed my whole proposition, saying that the number of people who think Jews run Hollywood is still too high. The ADL poll, he pointed out, showed that 59% of Americans think Hollywood execs "do not share the religious and moral values of most Americans," and 43% think the entertainment industry is waging an organized campaign to "weaken the influence of religious values in this country."
That’s a sinister canard, Foxman said. "It means they think Jews
meet at Canter’s Deli on Friday mornings to decide what’s best for the Jews." Foxman’s argument made me rethink: I have to eat at Canter’s more often.
"That’s a very dangerous phrase, ’Jews control Hollywood.’ What is true is that there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood," he said. Instead of "control," Foxman would prefer people say that many executives in the industry "happen to be Jewish," as in "all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish."
But Foxman said he is proud of the accomplishments of American Jews. "I think Jews are disproportionately represented in the creative industry. They’re disproportionate as lawyers and probably medicine here as well," he said. He argues that this does not mean that Jews make pro-Jewish movies any more than they do pro-Jewish surgery. Though other countries, I’ve noticed, aren’t so big on circumcision.
I appreciate Foxman’s concerns. And maybe my life spent in a New Jersey-New York/Bay Area-L.A. pro-Semitic cocoon has left me naive. But I don’t care if Americans think we’re running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.
