Corey Feldman just denied ever accusing Corey Haim of abusing him.
Speaking in new documentary Corey Feldman vs. the worldthe 54-year-old star appeared to make accusations against his late The Lost Boys co-star.
In the doctor’s office he said, “But you know, when you have someone trying to hit on you sexually, and you don’t want that, and you’re a kid, and you’re scared.”
“You do what you can to keep it from happening, and that’s what happened. I was harassed by Corey Haim. Honestly,” he admitted at the time.
However, Feldman has claimed that the documentary misrepresented his comments and has said through his legal team that any claim that Haim “abused” him was “a reference to Mr. Haim’s advances, and not to physical abuse.”
His legal team told them We weekly in a statement: “Mr. Feldman had no involvement in the documentary Corey Feldman vs The World. The film’s producers made the film without Mr. Feldman’s knowledge and obtained the footage dishonestly. Mr. Feldman is investigating the source of the footage, the producer’s claimed rights to it, and the role of his name, image and likeness. Mr. Feldman intends to pursue all legal options available to him once his investigation is complete.”
They continued: “Any article about Mr. Feldman’s alleged comment that Corey Haim ‘abused’ him is a sensational mischaracterization of the statements made in the film. Mr. Feldman’s statement was that during the filming of The lost boys Mr. Haim attempted to ‘mess around’ with Mr. Feldman, but Mr. Feldman did not reciprocate his advances and contacted another party on Mr. Haim’s behalf.”
“Mr. Feldman’s statement that Mr. Haim ‘abused’ him was in reference to Mr. Haim’s advances, and not physical assault. The film and other current articles on this matter distort the truth and context of Mr. Feldman’s words and story. Mr. Feldman does not allege that Corey Haim physically ‘abused’ him,” the team concluded.
Corey Feldman was 16 when he and Corey Haim, who was 14, worked together The lost boys.
