Corey Feldman has made a disturbing new allegation involving his late friend and frequent co-star Corey Haim, claiming that Haim sexually abused him during the filming of the 1987 cult classic The Lost Boys.
The claim appears in Feldman’s newly released documentary, Corey Feldman vs. the World, where the former child star reflects on his experiences growing up in Hollywood and the trauma he says followed him for decades.
In the film, Feldman alleges that while they were working on The Lost Boys, Haim made inappropriate advances toward him and suggested that such behavior was common in the entertainment industry. Feldman says he was confused, frightened, and did not understand what was happening at the time.
Feldman, who was 16 during the film’s release, says he felt pressured and scared as a teenager and described the situation as sexual abuse. Haim was 14 when the movie came out.
“These things happen when you’re young, you’re scared, and you don’t know how to stop it,” Feldman said in the documentary, calling the experience deeply traumatic.
A representative for Corey Haim’s estate did not respond to requests for comment following the documentary’s release. Haim died in 2010 at the age of 38 due to pneumonia.
Feldman has previously made headlines for accusing actor Charlie Sheen of sexually assaulting Haim during the filming of the 1986 movie Lucas. Sheen has repeatedly and strongly denied those allegations, calling them false and outrageous. Haim’s mother, Judy Haim, has also disputed Feldman’s claims, saying her son never mentioned Sheen and that the accusations were untrue.
In earlier interviews and documentaries, including My Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, Feldman has said both he and Haim were victims of abuse as child actors. He has maintained that Haim confided in him in detail about his experiences, though the claims remain disputed by others close to Haim.
Speaking in a 2020 interview, Feldman said he believed speaking out helped spark broader conversations about the exploitation of young performers in Hollywood. “That’s what makes me proud,” he said. “That’s what makes me feel like I’ve actually accomplished something.”
The new documentary is already drawing intense reaction online, reopening long-standing debates surrounding the lives, trauma, and tragic fates of the two former teen stars.
