Former child star Corey Feldman again opened up on his alleged experience of being sexually abused in Hollywood.
He was touching on what Elijah Wood recently said over the weekend about there being “a lot of vipers” in the industry, referring to the U.K.’s Jimmy Saville abuse scandal. “You all grew up with Savile ... it must have been devastating,” Wood, 35, told the Times of London. “Clearly something major was going on in Hollywood. It was all organized. There are a lot of vipers in this industry, people who only have their own interests in mind.”
Feldman, best known for his roles in “The Goonies” and “The Lost Boys” in the 1980s, elaborated on claims that he had made several years ago, according to a new interview published by the Hollywood Reporter. He said there is a “growing” danger of Hollywood predators who use social media.
“This [Hollywood] is a place where adults have more direct and inappropriate connection with children than probably anywhere else in the world,” Feldman, 44, told The Hollywood Reporter.
He said friend and “Two Coreys” co-star Corey Haim, who died in 2013 after longstanding drug problems, suffered more abuse than he.
