Actor Corey Feldman has made highly controversial allegations against his late “Lost Boys” co-star Corey Haim, claiming Haim sexually molested him during their time as teenage actors in Hollywood.
The claim appears in “Corey Feldman vs. the World,” a new documentary directed by Marcie Hume, now available to rent or purchase on Apple TV, Amazon, and YouTube. Feldman, now 54, alleges that the incident occurred while the two were working on the 1987 vampire film “The Lost Boys,” a movie that launched both actors to stardom when they were still minors.
“When we did ‘Lost Boys,’ Corey said to me, ‘Hey man, let’s mess around,’” Feldman says in the documentary, according to Variety. “And I said, ‘What do you mean?’”
Feldman says Haim explained the advance as typical in the industry, claiming that “guys in the business” exchanged sexual favors. Feldman adds that Haim mentioned Charlie Sheen as someone who told him this behavior was normal.
“When someone tries to come onto you sexually, and you don’t want that, and you’re a kid and scared, you do whatever you can to stop it,” Feldman says in the film. “That’s what happened. I was molested by Corey Haim. Truth be told.”
Representatives for Sheen and Feldman were contacted by multiple outlets for comment following the documentary’s release, including USA Today, but did not immediately respond. A representative for Haim was also not available. Sheen has previously denied allegations of sexual misconduct involving Haim, calling similar claims “false” and “outlandish.”
Haim, who died in 2010 at 38 after years of substance abuse struggles, never publicly accused Feldman or Sheen of sexual wrongdoing. His family has rejected allegations against Sheen, with Haim’s mother stating her son would have been sickened by what she described as fabricated claims.
The new allegation marks a notable shift in Feldman’s narrative about abuse. For years, he publicly described both himself and Haim as victims of adult abusers in the entertainment industry, previously detailing alleged abuse Haim suffered during the filming of “Lucas” in his 2013 memoir “Coreyography.”
That theme was central to Feldman’s 2020 documentary “My Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys,” alleging both were sexually abused in the 1980s by powerful Hollywood figures. The film did not previously accuse Haim of abusing Feldman, making this new claim particularly jarring.
Feldman has repeatedly spoken about his own abuse by convicted offenders. He has named actor John Grissom and talent agent Marty Weiss—both convicted sex offenders—as abusers from his childhood. In 2017, Los Angeles police confirmed they were reviewing Feldman’s claims about a longstanding pedophilia network in the entertainment industry, though no new charges resulted.
Feldman and Haim rose to fame together in the mid-1980s, becoming two of Hollywood’s most recognizable teen stars. After “The Lost Boys,” they collaborated on films such as “License to Drive” and “Dream a Little Dream,” cementing their public image as inseparable friends. Behind the scenes, both actors later described childhoods marked by exploitation, addiction, and emotional trauma.
Feldman has not promoted “Corey Feldman vs. the World” or commented further on the Haim allegation since its release. Director Marcie Hume says the documentary is not meant to provide answers, but to present Feldman’s story in all its unresolved contradictions.
As Hollywood continues to confront its history of child exploitation, Feldman’s latest claims underscore the enduring complexity of reckoning with decades-old allegations — particularly when those accused are no longer alive to respond. The documentary adds another difficult chapter to a conversation that remains unsettled, painful, and deeply polarizing.
