Battling Coreys: Did Michael Jackson molest Feldman and/or Haim?

June 24th, 2008 by Scott Marks

Looks like The Two Coreys is must-see TV.

On Sunday’s installment, Corey Feldman and Corey Haim went at it swapping shocking admissions of rape and molestation that leave many questioning whether Michael Jackson laid a glove on the boys.

Feldman threatened that he can “destroy” Haim, who then fires back with astonishing claims. “You let me get f–ked around in my life, raped so to speak, when I was about 14-and-a-half … by a guy you still f–king hang out with,” Haim says. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. What did you do? You knew about it — aside from being his best friend,” he continues.

Not to be overshadowed, Feldman shot back with a confession of his own. “I was being molested at the same time by somebody else … what did you do?”

Before befriending pint-sized Webster star Emmanuel Lewis and Home Alone’s Macaulay Culkin, hell, even before Mishu, Jacko set his sights on Corey Feldman. The two were inseparable. Jackson even went so far as dressing Feldman in his own image which resulted in satirical snickers when the Neverland ward appeared on The Howard Stern Summer Show mimicking his mentor’s every move.

Where were the young actor’s parent while all this was going on? Sitting at home and watching visions of dollar signs dance in their heads.

Feldman defends Jackson to this day. On Stern’s radio show Feldman deflected all accusations of molestation. In the July issue of GQ, Feldman denied that Jackson ever molested him, claiming that it was his assistant who “would come in when” he was sleeping.

Even as a kid Feldman was an insufferable showbiz sycophant, but I will gladly defend several of Haim’s early performances. While Feldman began his career imitating others, Haim brightened Joel Schumacher’s otherwise rancid The Lost Boys (which also featured Feldman) and the sentimental suicide romp Lucas. Stephen King’s Silver Bullet, in which Haim commandeers a wolfbane-covered wheelchair, makes for a very enjoyable update of the werewolf legend and Michael Apted’s Firstborn is a superb family drama that houses Haim’s best work.

For a brief period, it appeared as if the two Coreys would be their generation’s Spanky and Alfalfa. License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream were both so inept that even starry-eyed teens asked for their money back. Haim went from ‘A’ list projects to Snowboard Academy, Demolition High and massive amounts of drugs to help ease the pain and embarrassment. Feldman graduated from being a Joe Dante prodigy (Gremlins, The ‘burbs) to Rock ‘n’ Roll High School Forever, Meatballs 4 and massive amounts of drugs to help ease the pain and embarrassment.

After many rock-bottom years, Haim and Feldman have become the reality-TV equivalents of circus workers following an elephant with a shovel. Time to set the TiVo.

WATCH THE TWO COREYS EXPLODE!
