Corey Haim’s mother speaks out after Corey Feldman opens old wounds

In an exclusive interview with ET Canada, late actor Corey Haim’s mother Judy opens up about how Corey Feldman is opening old wounds.

Haim’s longtime friend Feldman, 45, is accusing Hollywood executives of abuse (as he’s done in the past). Feldman revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that there was a pedophile ring in Hollywood that sexually assaulted both men when they were child actors.

But Haim’s mother Judy wants nothing more than to leave her son’s memory untarnished.

“Do you fear… is it a dangerous thing to even go into that [abuse] territory?” asks ET Canada’s Cheryl Hickey.

“Yeah… yeah it actually is,” says Judy.

Judy also questions Feldman’s accounts when it comes down to certain memories of her son – like how he died. As Feldman remembers it, “She [Judy] told me that he [Corey] wasn’t feeling well and that he’s gonna go get a drink of water… he laid back down and died,” says Feldman.

But Judy fires back, saying: “I never told him about a glass of water, you know why? Because that’s not the way it happened. So, why would he say that? There were lots of little things, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

This isn’t the first time Judy has spoken out against Feldman.

In 2013, the mother was “stunned and saddened” by statements made by Feldman about Haim in his memoir Coreyography. 

“I haven’t read Feldman’s book and have no intention to,” she said in a written statement to Global News“What is Feldman trying to accomplish by knocking my kid once again to the ground?”

Haim died of pneumonia in 2010 after a long battle with substance abuse and addiction.
