Corey Feldman just denied that he ever accused Corey Haim of molesting him.
Speaking in new documentary Corey Feldman vs The World, the 54-year-old star appeared to make allegations against his late The Lost Boys co-star.
In the doc, he said: “But you know, when you have got somebody that’s trying to come onto you sexually, and you don’t want that, and you are a kid, and you are scared.”
“You do whatever you can to stop it from happening, and that’s what was happening. I was being molested by Corey Haim. Truth be told,” he confessed at that time.
However, Feldman has claimed the documentary misrepresented his comments and said via his legal team that any claim that Haim “molested” him was “in reference to Mr. Haim’s advances, and not physical molestation.”
His legal team told Us Weekly in a statement: “Mr. Feldman did not have any involvement in the documentary Corey Feldman vs The World. The producers of the film made the film without Mr Feldman’s knowledge and obtained the footage through dishonest means. 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 plans to pursue all legal options available to him once his investigation is complete.”
They continued, “Any article regarding the purported comment that Mr. Feldman claims Corey Haim ‘molested’ him is a sensationalized mischaracterization of the statements made in the film. Mr. Feldman’s statement was that during the filming of The Lost Boys Mr. Haim sought to ‘mess around’ with Mr. Feldman, however, Mr. Feldman did not reciprocate his advances and contacted another party on behalf of Mr. Haim.”
“Mr. Feldman’s statement that Mr. Haim ‘molested’ him was in reference to Mr. Haim’s advances, and not physical molestation. The film and any other current articles on this issue distort the truth and context of Mr. Feldman’s words and story. Mr. Feldman makes no claim that Corey Haim physically ‘molested’ him,” the team concluded.
Corey Feldman was 16 when he and Corey Haim, who was 14, worked together on The Lost Boys.
