**Corey Feldman at the Center of Hollywood Reckoning in New Documentary**
*Published Jan. 5, 2026, 6:45 p.m. ET*
Corey Feldman, once one of the most recognizable child actors globally, is again at the center of a painful Hollywood reckoning. A new documentary reignites controversy over his relationship with his late friend and co-star Corey Haim — a relationship that, according to RadarOnline.com, both made and unmade their careers.
Feldman, now 54, rose to fame in the 1980s through iconic roles in *Stand By Me*, *The Goonies*, *Gremlins*, and *The Lost Boys*. At the time, he became a symbol of youthful stardom during an era when Hollywood was rapidly creating child celebrities. Haim, who died in 2010 at age 38, was Feldman’s closest collaborator and friend. Together, they were famously known as “the two Coreys” after their breakout performance in the 1987 comedy-horror directed by Joel Schumacher, *The Lost Boys*.

### Allegations in *Corey Feldman vs the World*
In the new documentary *Corey Feldman vs the World*, Feldman alleges that Corey Haim once attempted to sexually abuse him during the production of *The Lost Boys*. These claims have since been angrily rejected by Haim’s family and were later walked back by Feldman himself.
In the film, Feldman recalls an encounter on set, stating:
> “When we did *Lost Boys*, Corey said to me, ‘Hey, man, let’s mess around.’ And I said, ‘What do you mean?'”
He continues:
> “This is what, you know, what guys in the business do, right? You know, you suck each other’s d—-, or you f— around – you do this stuff.”
Feldman adds:
> “But you know, when you’ve got somebody that’s trying to come on to 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.”
He concludes:
> “I was being molested by Corey Haim. Truth be told.”

### Family Response and Feldman’s Clarification
These remarks prompted a furious response from Haim’s mother, and Feldman himself later stated that his comments had been “mischaracterized.” He also claimed the footage of his account was obtained unlawfully.
Marcie Hume, director of *Corey Feldman vs the World*, clarified her position, saying:
> “As a filmmaker, I gave Corey room to speak and the emotional space to process his own experiences, using his own terminology to reflect that experience. If he wants to explain or reflect on that language now, that’s his right, but the record in the film remains the same.”
