We’re at all times glad for anybody popping out after years of being pressured to maintain these items secret. We’d love to only applaud…
However we are able to’t. As a result of we are able to’t cease occupied with the allegations made in opposition to him.

Again in early 2020, proper on the daybreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Corey Feldman lastly launched his long-threatened documentary, My Fact: The Rape of Two Coreys. The Stand By Me youngster star had claimed for years he and late greatest good friend Corey Haim had been traumatized by sexual abuse by the hands of older males after they have been rising up in present enterprise. And in his no-hold-barred doc, he revealed the names of a few of their alleged abusers.
Feldman named actor and one-time assistant Jon Grissom, nightclub proprietor Alphy Hoffman, and expertise supervisor Marty Weiss as three of his abusers. However the huge identify on the marquee was the alleged rapist of Corey Haim. Feldman claimed Charlie Sheen raped him on the set of their movie Lucas. That film was made in 1985. Charlie was 19 on the time. Haim was solely 13.
Corey Haim died of issues from pneumonia in 2010, after a lifetime of addictions. In fact, many blame the years of alleged abuse for his drug issues within the first place. So he can’t inform his story to the world. However Feldman remembers very clearly the story Haim instructed him about what occurred on that set…
The Story
Feldman recounts Haim telling him about his rape on the set of the coming-of-age movie. He graphically shares within the movie:
“This wasn’t like a one time factor he stated in passing. It wasn’t like ‘Oh, by the way in which, this occurred.’ He went into nice element.”
These particulars are horrifying.
“He instructed me, ‘Charlie bent me over in between two trailers and put Crisco oil on my butt and raped me in broad daylight. Anyone may have walked by, anyone may have seen it.’”
Others interviewed within the movie corroborated Feldman’s story with their very own modern accounts. Haim instructed a number of people who story.
As an illustration, Feldman’s ex-wife Susannah Sprague stated Haim instructed her the identical factor again then:
“He shared with me that on the set of Lucas that he was raped as a little bit boy. He instructed me that it was his costar and he instructed me that it was Charlie Sheen that did it.”
So disturbing.
A Darkish Historical past
This didn’t begin in 2020 both.
Readers might recall an notorious report from Radar On-line in 2016 which claimed an A-lister would quickly be revealed by a number of sources to be Haim’s abuser. That clearly by no means occurred. There was no bombshell exposé of any A-lister, not about Haim anyway. So on the time all of the hypothesis and questions on who it may very well be went away fairly rapidly.
However after the documentary, it was onerous to not take one other take a look at the small print of that blind merchandise:
“The closeted perv has by no means come out as homosexual, and even has kids of his personal. However in fact, the star behind the family-man facade is an evil monster who has led an awfully twisted double-life. He was the ‘kingpin’ of a kid intercourse ring that ensnared Haim and Corey Feldman… The primary time this man raped Corey was after he acquired him excessive on pot. He fooled him. Corey was weak, and he fell for this individual. He believed, like so many victims, that he was ‘in love’ together with his abuser. He was so confused by the sexual encounter, and believed it was love.”
An A-lister with kids? Household man facade? By no means popping out as homosexual? That matched Charlie Sheen… although that final half is a little bit completely different now. Extra on that later…
Feldman has talked about the movie and the incident earlier than, too, in his 2013 memoir Coreyography. He wrote:
“In some unspecified time in the future throughout the filming [of Lucas, Haim] defined an grownup male satisfied him it was completely regular for older males and youthful boys within the enterprise to have sexual relations, that it was ‘what all guys do.’ … In order that they walked off to a secluded space between two trailers throughout a lunch break for the solid and crew, and Haim, harmless and impressive as he was, allowed himself to be sodomized.”
He didn’t say Charlie Sheen’s identify within the e book, after all. He wouldn’t for a few years.
And Feldman wasn’t the one one who made the allegation both. Beforehand Haim confidant Dominick Brascia instructed the Nationwide Enquirer a very comparable story; the way in which he put it:
“Haim instructed me he had intercourse with Sheen after they filmed Lucas… He instructed me they smoked pot and had intercourse. He stated they’d anal intercourse. Haim stated after it occurred Sheen turned very chilly and rejected him. When Corey needed to idiot round once more, Charlie was not .”
These accounts do all appear to match… although the way in which Brascia instructed it he wasn’t describing rape however consensual homosexual intercourse. However Corey Haim couldn’t have been a consenting associate — he was solely 13 on the time, whereas Sheen was 19. If this occurred, it was rape.
Charlie Sheen’s Denials
The 2017 claims have been largely dismissed because of the publication’s credibility points but in addition as a result of shortly afterward Brascia himself was accused of sexually abusing Haim. However Sheen did reply!
However the accusation was critical sufficient to warrant a response from the Two And A Half Males star, who launched an announcement via reps to The Hollywood Reporter on the time, saying:
“Charlie Sheen categorically denies these allegations.”
He even filed a lawsuit in opposition to American Media, Inc., Brascia, and the Enquirer‘s editor on the time, Dylan Howard. In a affirmation of the authorized motion, he stated on to TMZ:
“In my almost 35 years as a celebrated entertainer, I’ve been nothing shy of a forthright, noble and valiant courier of the reality. Persistently admitting and proudly owning a laundry checklist of shortcomings, wrongdoings, and indiscretions this traveler hath traveled — nonetheless, each man has a breaking level. These radically groundless and unfounded allegations finish now. I now take a passionate stand in opposition to those that want to even entertain the sick and twisted lies in opposition to me. GAME OVER.”
Sheen ended up dropping the go well with in 2018, telling the court docket the events have been in talks to settle out of court docket.
As for the 2020 claims within the documentary, Charlie denied these, too. In a response launched to ET Canada, his publicist stated:
“These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations by no means occurred. Interval. I’d urge everybody to contemplate the supply and browse what his mom Judy Haim has to say.”
What about Judy Haim?
Corey Haim’s Mom
Sure, Corey Haim’s personal mom additionally stated it wasn’t Charlie Sheen who abused her son in a 2017 Dr. Oz interview. And Sheen offered ET Canada with an e-mail from her by which she defended him but once more:
“I really feel that this can be a enormous accusation with none proof and with out my child being right here to defend himself I stand agency, that Charlie DID NOT. This after all by no means occurred. Sadly, Feldman has misplaced his thoughts and the horrible factor is he thinks this can be a nice solution to commemorate the ten 12 months anniversary of my son’s dying.”
Feldman made accusations in opposition to Judy, too. In The Two Coreys, he claimed she was behind a bunch calling themselves The Wolfpack, who have been accountable for a marketing campaign of organized harassment in opposition to him on social media and even veiled threats in actual life. He stated as soon as on X (Twitter) that he needed to “flee” his residence after discovering Wolfpack materials in his yard.
Between Charlie Sheen’s denials and even Corey Haim’s personal mom — and naturally Feldman’s public picture being so erratic the previous few years — everybody simply kind of dismissed these allegations. And naturally Haim couldn’t inform his personal story…
What Modified
So why carry it up once more now? Properly… a part of the rationale everybody brushed this off was as a result of there had by no means been any proof Charlie Sheen was ever occupied with intercourse with males in any respect. It made the allegations extra far-fetched than if it had been one of many underage actresses on the movie.
However Charlie has now come out and revealed his has had sexual encounters with males, that he’s been occupied with that, too. Clearly we might by no means equate homosexuality with pedophilia, that’s disgusting when folks try this, and it’s completely not what’s occurring. What we’re saying is, the protection that Charlie Sheen couldn’t have sexually assaulted Corey Haim as a result of he’s male? That’s gone now.
Does it change how YOU view these allegations??
