Hollywood's Other 'Open Secret' Besides Harvey Weinstein: Preying on Young Boys
Daily Beast ^ | October 16, 2017 | Ira Madison III

Posted on 10/17/2017 8:40:47 AM PDT by Zakeet

'This is a place where adults have more direct and inappropriate connection with children than probably anywhere else in the world,' claimed former child actor Corey Feldman.

Last week, former child actor Corey Feldman (Stand by Me, The Goonies) tweeted that he'd been asked for a statement about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual-harassment and rape allegations. It makes sense, since he has spent years speaking out about sexual abuse in Hollywood-not of women, but of young men. He has long alleged that pedophilia is the worst problem in Hollywood and that it's in part responsible for his best friend Corey Haim's eventual death by drug overdose.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2016, Feldman said: "[Haim] had more direct abuse than I did. 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. 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. It would destroy his whole being. As I look at my son, a sweet, innocent, 11-year-old boy and then try to put him in Corey Haim's shoes, I go, 'Oh my God-well of course he was erratic and not well-behaved on sets and things like that.' What more could we expect of him really?"

Hollyweird is a liberal cesspool.

What’s so sad is this has been known for YEARS - yet nothing was ever done.

Shows the power of Hollywood, doesn’t it?

The sad fact is that Harvey Weinstein, sleazy though he is, is probably one of the less perverted power brokers in Hollywood. He's being made an example of in order to protect people who have done and are doing far worse than he has.

The fact is, Harvey's "victims" are all adult women, not children, and the fact that they're only coming forward years later for a publicity stunt means that many if not most of them willingly sold themselves to him to boost their careers. Child actors never made that casting couch choice because they couldn't.

I love these Hollywood affairs where all these complainants are dressed like wealthy sluts.

If the NFL was full of dry tinder, then Hollywood is a dynamite factory

Too bad Trump couldn’t have thrown a match to it as well

I’m surprised Feldman hasn’t accidentally shot himself in the back of the head 3 times yet.

The ones we know about, so far, have all been adult women...

What Corey Feldman fails to grasp is that in his case, it’s still rape even if he was seduced into agreeing to sex by an older man or men.

Adult seduction of children, who then are groomed to think they “wanted it,” is a LIE!

Whether or not they physically fought back, they were still raped, as kids do not have the emotional skills to handle sex with powerful, manipulative adults in their world.

I just watched Corey in Gremlins. He was so cute. Because of my own experiences, I always thought Hollywood was heterosexual harassment, not homo. I thought only NYC show biz was gay. Wrongo!

I've seen no plausible evidence to suggest that Weinstein is a pedophile, and at this point I'm not even convinced that he's a rapist (in the sense of using physical force to coerce sexual relations, as opposed to offering career boosts in exchange for sex). He's just a manipulative, horny slob who used his position of power and influence to get his hands on willing or semi-willing women who were looking to boost their careers by any means necessary.

Is Weinstein an unsavory character? Sure. Is he worse than the typical Hollywood mogul? Probably not, in fact he's probably at the tamer and less perverted end of the spectrum.

Casting couch stories that are no different from what Weinstein was doing have been floating around Hollywood since the early 20’s.

Not to defend him, but that’s nine decades of young women eagerly willing to play along.

You make some good points. I just think the corruption in Hollywood is a lot worse than you do, and I believe someone as depraved as Weinstein appears to be would use his power in order to get his rocks off with anyone, including girls under the age of 18.
