Corey Haim’s mom, Judy Haim, slammed Corey Feldman for accusing her late son of molesting him.
Judy said in an interview with TMZ on Thursday, December 18 that “there is no way in hell” Corey, who died in 2010 at age 38, ever molested Feldman, now 54, because he was attracted to women.
“I don’t care if someone is gay, but I am not gay or any of that stuff,” she told the outlet, claiming that her son “was a one-woman man” and was “not into men.”
Judy claimed that Feldman is lying about her son because “he doesn’t want people to focus on his own wrongdoings.”
“Corey Feldman always talks about sex and blames my kid for things that he is not here to defend himself about,” she said.
Feldman accused Corey of molestation in his new documentary Corey Feldman vs. the World.
“When we did Lost Boys, Corey said to me, ‘Hey man, let’s mess around,’” Feldman, alleged in his Corey Feldman vs. the World documentary. “I said, ‘What do you mean?’”
According to Feldman, Corey said that was “what guys in the business do.”
“I called [Corey] and said, ‘Come over.’ 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,” Feldman said in the doc. “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.”
From Judy’s perspective, Feldman’s allegations don’t make sense because she claimed that her son was never left “alone for a minute” on any set since it was either her or another family member with Corey.
Judy also doesn’t understand how Feldman and her son were friends for so many years if Corey did what Feldman accused him of doing.
“Why would they be friends for so long if this happened? It doesn’t add up,” she told the outlet.
Judy added that Feldman’s allegations are “so defamatory and hurtful to my son’s legacy.”
Over the years, Feldman has been candid about the alleged abuse he suffered as a child star. In his 2020 doc My Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys documentary. he claimed that he and Corey were both victims of sexual assault.
“What we did is line up several witnesses who had all heard firsthand from the victim himself,” Feldman told Entertainment Weekly in 2020 of making My Truth. “These are firsthand witnesses who got the story directly from the victim before he died. … We think we’ve done a really good job of being even-handed in showing what the argument is and what both sides have to say, but also showing the weaknesses in their argument. I think we’ve done a good job of covering the scope, and I think in doing so it’s really going to draw people to the conclusion that what we’re saying is true.”
Feldman told the outlet that he hoped his film helped other victims of sexual assault.
