Actor and musician Corey Feldman has made new and deeply personal allegations about his childhood in a recently released documentary, claiming that his longtime friend and frequent co-star Corey Haim sexually abused him during their early years in Hollywood.
The claims appear in Corey Feldman vs. the World, a film that explores Feldman's career, public controversies, and longstanding assertions about exploitation in the entertainment industry. Feldman, now 54, says the alleged incident occurred while the two were working on the 1987 cult classic The Lost Boys, their first major film together.
In the documentary, Feldman recounts feeling confused and frightened by advances he says came from Haim, who died in 2010 at age 38. Feldman describes himself as a child struggling to process inappropriate behavior in an environment he says was already hypersexualized and unsafe. He also expresses complicated feelings of guilt, suggesting he blamed himself for not stopping what he says happened.
Feldman and Haim were among the most recognizable teen stars of the late 1980s, later appearing together in films such as License to Drive, Dream a Little Dream, and Blown Away. Their close friendship and shared fame eventually became the focus of the 2007 A&E reality series The Two Coreys, which documented both their bond and personal struggles.
For years, he has spoken publicly about sexual abuse in Hollywood, including in his 2014 memoir Coreyography and his 2020 documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys. However, this marks the first time he has alleged abuse by Haim himself. Feldman has also previously accused actor Charlie Sheen of assaulting Haim, a claim Sheen has repeatedly denied.
Haim's family has offered differing accounts over the years, with his mother previously alleging that another actor, Dominick Brascia, abused her son, an accusation Brascia denied before his death in 2018.
Director Marcie Hume, who worked on the documentary for nearly a decade, said Feldman's account was filmed during a highly emotional period and reflects his desire to share his version of events. Feldman says his goal is not retaliation but acknowledgment, arguing that silence has long protected harmful systems rather than the children within them.
