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.)

Sucks to live in Hollywood
She hurts her case when she mentions his recent drug arrest, which came after he talked about this then-imminent campaign and which appears to be a misdemeanor infraction at best.
Wouldn’t exactly be mother of the year, allowing her son to have been preyed upon like that to gain fame and money, if what Feldman is claiming turned out to be true, would she?
The parents are the worst. Think of the parents that thought it would be a good idea for their kids to sleep at Michael Jackson’s house.
Wow, what a mom.
No WONDER he got sucked into that world.
There is a story that was buried in Gary Indiana
I’m wondering if she’s really into extreme denial over throwing him into that environment when he was young.
She maybe had no idea what really goes on but now that it’s coming out, doesn’t want to be seen as an accessory.
I have known a stage mother, or two. I believe Corey Feldman.
Wouldn’t exactly be mother of the year, allowing her son to have been preyed upon like that to gain fame and money, if what Feldman is claiming turned out to be true, would she?
Well, after all, it was just a single incident, right? I mean, every mother should expect that, right? /sarc.
I do agree with one thing, though -— Feldman (along with any other victims) should man-up and name names. Not for our prurient interest, but so the creeps will be exposed and indicted. On the other hand, Woody Allen, Polanski, and several other known pedophiles, seem to continue to enjoy fame, adoration, and fortune, even after being exposed. I blame the legal system for that.
Lessee here....Corey Haim, and Corey Feldman as best friends shared their stories with each other as victims of abuse of most forms often do, therefore this mother of Haim is calling her late son a liar?
I’d believe she’s a liberal, and probably what we used to call a “stage mother” as that type person usually doesn’t think prior to shooting themselves in the foot. They are too involved in attaining personal gratification, or the fame they could have had if only.
Read his share of the Sony deal is now worth about 2 billion. He was a gifted artist but daddy Joe messed him up bad.
Please don't use feminist shaming language.
That having been said, he doesn't want to get multiple asteroids in the shape of lawsuits thrown at him, and he also most certainly *will* need personal protection. Don't you find it weird that after announcing his campaign, he magically got arrested for marijuana possession? It's to tell him that he can be taken care of any time, anywhere, any place.
I suspect she pimped her son out, essentially, and won’t look good in the documentary.
Sounds like she’s throwing her son under the bus because she is suffering narcissistic injury.
Nasty.
Yes. Give him ten million dollars and he’ll make a documentary that names pedophiles from 25 years ago. No sale.
The whole lot of them are degenerates.
Dats why I am country boy.
Been all around the watery bits of this world and seen your citys
I’ll stay here
get me a sangwich
Stupid knows no bounds.
