Judy Haim, the mother of Corey Haim, star of the film Lost Boys, has come forward to defend her late son against recent sexual assault allegations.
Corey Feldman, a former co-star of Haim, has made accusations that Haim ‘molested’ him during the production of the 1987 movie.
These allegations surfaced in Feldman’s new documentary, Corey Feldman vs. The World, where he revisits their experiences on the film set.
Judy Haim has responded to these claims, telling TMZ that they are ‘another lie to poison people’s heads and keep [himself] relevant’.
Corey Haim passed away in 2010 at the age of 38 due to pneumonia.
In the documentary, Feldman recounts a conversation: “When we did Lost Boys Corey said to me, ‘Hey man, let’s mess around’. And I said, ‘What do you mean?’”
Feldman further alleges that Haim continued: “’This is what, you know, what guys in the business do, right? You know, you suck each other’s d***s, or you f**k around, you do this stuff.’ And I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ And he said, ‘Well, Charlie [Sheen] told me it was OK.’”
Charlie Sheen has denied these allegations, with his representative telling People in 2020: “These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred. Period.”
They also mentioned: “I would urge everyone to consider the source and read what his mother Judy Haim has to say.”
Feldman elaborated: “I called [Haim] 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, 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.”
Judy Haim has spoken out about these accusations, stating: “Corey Feldman always talks about sex and blames my kid for things that he is not here to defend himself about.”
She emphasized that her son was never alone during filming, as a family member was consistently present.
“Why would they be friends for so long if this happened? It doesn’t add up,” she questioned.
Feldman has reiterated claims that both he and Haim were victims of sexual assault within the entertainment industry.
In the past, he alleged that Sheen sexually assaulted Haim during the filming of Lucas.
Sheen has categorically denied these claims, and Judy Haim told Entertainment Tonight in 2017: “My son never mentioned Charlie. We never talked about Charlie. It was all made up.
“If my son was here to hear all of this, he would throw up.”
The publication has reached out to representatives for both Feldman and Sheen for comments.
