The Dark Secrets of Hollywood: Corey Feldman’s Quest to Expose Abuse

In a shocking turn of events, former child actor Corey Feldman has released a documentary alleging deep-seated abuse in Hollywood, including claims against actor Charlie Sheen.

The film, My Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, delves into the tragic life of Feldman’s late friend Corey Haim and the exploitation they both allegedly endured in their youth.

The documentary has reignited public discourse around abuse in the entertainment industry. Feldman accuses Sheen, a prominent Hollywood actor, of raping Haim on the set of the 1986 film Lucas.

Sheen, 19 at the time, allegedly coerced 13-year-old Haim into a sexual act during production. These allegations, originally reported by the National Enquirer in 2017, were vehemently denied by Sheen, who described them as “sick, twisted, and outlandish.”

The Documentary Premiere: A Chaotic Unveiling

The premiere of My Truth was marred by technical issues, with Feldman alleging that the film’s streaming platform was hacked to suppress its release.

Flanked by security guards, Feldman interrupted the screening to address the audience, expressing fears of sabotage. Despite the chaos, the film continued, unveiling a narrative that seeks to shed light on Hollywood’s alleged abuse of child actors.

Feldman asserts that Haim confided in him and others about the incident with Sheen. The documentary also features testimonies from Feldman’s ex-wife and actor Jamison Newlander, both claiming Haim spoke of the abuse.

However, Haim’s mother, Judy Haim, has repeatedly denied these allegations against Sheen, instead accusing another individual.

A Legacy of Trauma and Addiction

Haim’s life was marked by struggles with addiction, which Feldman attributes to the trauma of abuse.

After rising to fame alongside Feldman in films like The Lost Boys, Haim faced a decline in his career, battling drug dependency until his death in 2010.

Officially ruled as pneumonia, his passing added to the tragedy surrounding his life.

Feldman, who describes himself as a whistleblower, aims to expose what he calls Hollywood’s “epidemic” of abuse.

The documentary highlights systemic failures, pointing fingers at not just perpetrators but also enablers, including publicists, managers, and even parents who turned a blind eye.

The Industry’s Response and Future Implications

The release of My Truth has stirred a mixture of support and skepticism. While some view Feldman’s efforts as brave, others question his motivations, especially given Judy Haim’s opposition.

Feldman has used the platform to advocate for legislative changes, lobbying for extended statutes of limitations for survivors of childhood abuse.

The film situates itself within the broader #MeToo movement, using the hashtag #KidsToo to emphasize the vulnerability of young actors.

As Feldman calls for accountability, he acknowledges the risks of speaking out but insists that silence is no longer an option.

A Controversial Legacy

While My Truth may not resolve the controversies it explores, it undeniably brings attention to an uncomfortable yet critical conversation about the protection of children in Hollywood.

Whether it leads to systemic change or becomes another chapter in the entertainment industry’s troubled history remains to be seen.

As Feldman poignantly states, “The most important topics are the ones you hear about the least. When you don’t hear about it, that’s when you should worry.”
