Corey Haim’s mother is pushing back after Corey Feldman alleged in a new documentary that the late actor “molested” him while the two were shooting the 1987 film The Lost Boys.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Judy Haim calls Feldman a “disgusting human being” after learning of Feldman’s claims, which appear in Corey Feldman vs. The World. The documentary was directed by Marcie Hume and released on Apple TV on Dec. 11.
“I saw a little bit of it, and I spoke to the director, Marcie,” Judy says. “I told her that I’m not going to pay a penny for it. But somebody actually recorded it on the phone and sent it to me. And I said, ‘Wow, okay.’ [Feldman] spoke a lot and he said that my kid molested him, and I just, I couldn’t believe it.”
“I think he’s a disgusting human being. I think he really needs help,” she adds. “This is what I think. I know he needs help because he’s hiding behind my kid to stay relevant. And I think what he’s doing is beyond any friend. He’s calling himself a friend. What friend does what he does, what friend? They were not friends, period. He’s taking advantage of someone that cannot respond. He can go to hell as far as I’m concerned.”

“My first thing is, here he goes again, the documentary came out. He doesn’t want anyone talking about him and concentrating on how absolutely awful he treats women and people in general and lies, consistently.”
Feldman, 54, starred with Haim, who died in 2010 at the age of 38, in several films in the ’80s and ’90s, including The Lost Boys, License to Drive, Dream a Little Dream and Blown Away.
“I just want to say that they weren’t friends to begin with,” says Judy. “I have to be honest about it, they were not friends. They were only friends on the set. They did a few movies together.”
“My kid and Feldman worked with a lot of people, and Feldman happened to be the only one that says that they were best friends, and the only one in the industry — my son worked with hundreds of people — and he is the only one that is talking like this about him.”
PEOPLE has reached out to Feldman for comment.

The Stand by Me actor recalls the alleged incident in the documentary, saying, “When we did Lost Boys, Corey said to me, ‘Hey man, let’s mess around.’ And I said, ‘What do you mean?’ ”
Feldman claims Haim told him, “This is what, you know, what guys in the business do, right? You know, you suck each other’s d—-, or you f— around, you do this stuff.’”
“And I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ And he said, ‘Well, Charlie [Sheen] told me it was okay.’ [Then] Corey tells me that he was raped on the set of Lucas,” Feldman continues, referencing allegations he made in his 2020 documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys that the Two and a Half Men star sexually assaulted Haim, which Sheen has denied.
A rep for Sheen previously told PEOPLE in a statement in 2020, “These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred. Period.” Haim’s mother also alleged on The Dr. Oz Show in 2017 that it wasn’t Sheen but actor Dominick Brascia, who died in 2018 at the age of 61, that sexually abused her son. Brascia previously denied these claims.
