In his memoir "Coreyography," Corey Feldman goes into bombshell details about the abuse he had in his life, including brutal physical and emotional abuse from his mother; sexual abuse he experienced from older men when he was an underage teen; and his own drug abuse. Feldman (who is 42) also claims that his best friend Corey Haim was a bisexual who would often make sexual advances on him, but Feldman says he always rejected those advances.
The friendship between Haim and Feldman, who became known in the media as "The Two Coreys," started out innocently enough, but it soon became a drug-fueled, co-dependent relationship, as Feldman tells it. Feldman (who describes Haim's personality as friendly, hypoeractive and intense) also outs Haim as a bisexual who was sodomized as a child by a man whom Feldman does not name, but he says Haim confided in him about the rape. Feldman believes that this early sexual abuse caused Haim to be overly sexualized at a young age. Feldman says that when he met Haim, Haim talked about sex more than anyone else he knew.
Feldman claims that when Haim was "horny," that Haim would sometimes suggest that he and Feldman have sex with each other. Feldman claims he always declined the offer.
In the book, Feldman describes incidents when he and Feldman would be hanging out together and Haim would pester Feldman to find someone to have sex with, male or female.
Feldman expresses regret that on at least two occasions during the time that he and Haim were filming "The Lost Boys," Feldman would suggest an older male friend to have sex with Haim. One of those friends was Marty Weiss, a talent manager who was arrested in 2011 for committing lewd acts with a child. Weiss once had a talent agency with Feldman's mother back in the late '80s. Feldman says that during the time that Weiss had sex with Haim. As Feldman describes it in the book: "They walked single file into the adjoining room ... I heard sounds, banging, thumping. I felt my stomach flip-flop. I felt sick."
On another occasion, a similar scenario happened: Feldman said that Haim was being hyperactive and "horny" and wanted Feldman to find him someone to have sex with, when Haim suggested that he and Feldman "mess around." When Feldman rejected Haim's advances and asked Haim if he was gay, Haim replied, "I'm not gay, man. This is what guys do. It's totally normal. Why don't we do it?"
Feldman says he still refused to have sex with Haim. When Haim expressed interest in hooking up with Weiss again, Feldman told Haim that he was no longer speaking to Weiss. So Feldman reluctantly suggested a man who is called "Tony Burnham" (not his real name) in the book. According to Feldman, he knew that Burnham (whom he describes as overweight and unattractive) had a crush on Haim, and so the meeting was arranged. Feldman says he tried to convince Haim not to get sexually involved with Burnham and to find someone else to have sex with, but Haim insisted because he told Feldman that it would be "a favor" to Haim if Feldman arranged the hookup. After that encounter, Burnham began to treat Haim as his "boyfriend," according to Feldman.
Feldman describes these alleged incidents in the book because years after these incidents happened, Haim accused Feldman of being responsible for some of the sexual abuse he suffered. The accusation was made on their short-lived 2007 reality show "The Two Coreys." Feldman says that at the time, he introduced an underage Haim to those men because he just wanted Haim to stop pestering him about finding someone to have sex with him. Of course, we won't hear Haim's side of the story since he's dead.
