Sixteen years ago in October 2013, former child actor Corey Feldman tried to warn the hosts of “The View” about pedophilia in Hollywood, only to be somewhat rebuffed by then-top host Barbara Walters.
Appearing on the ABC talk show, he specifically talked about the childhood sexual abuse that he and fellow child actor Corey Haim had endured at the hands of rich, powerful “people” in Hollwood.
“I’m saying that there were people that did this to both me and Corey that are still working, they’re still out there — and they’re some of the richest, most powerful people in this business,” he said. “And they do not want me saying what I’m saying right now.”
This prompted one of Walters’ co-hosts to ask Feldman what advice he had for parents who wanted to get their children involved in Hollywood.
