Corey Haim’s mother, Judy Haim, is fiercely defending her late son’s name after Corey Feldman made a disturbing claim in his latest documentary.
Feldman, 54, alleged that Haim molested him while they were filming the 1987 cult classic The Lost Boys - a claim Judy says is not only false, but deeply damaging.
Speaking to TMZ, Judy didn’t hold back, branding Feldman’s accusation as “another lie to poison people’s heads and keep [himself] relevant”.
Judy Haim insists her son never assaulted Feldman
Judy made it clear she believes Feldman is using her son’s name to deflect from his own alleged misdeeds.
She told the outlet there was “no way in hell” Corey Haim ever assaulted Feldman, calling the accusation a distraction so Feldman can avoid scrutiny over his own actions.
She also spoke about Haim’s sexuality, claiming he was straight and loyal to women. “I don’t care if someone is gay, but I am not gay or any of that stuff,” she recalled her son telling her during a private conversation.
She described him as a “one-woman man” who never showed any interest in men.
According to Judy, Feldman has made a habit of bringing up sexual topics and dragging her late son’s name into controversy. “Corey Feldman always talks about sex and blames my kid for things that he is not here to defend himself about,” she said.

Feldman details allegation in new documentary
In Corey Feldman vs. the World, Feldman claims that Corey Haim approached him with a disturbing proposition while they were still teenagers. Feldman recalled Haim allegedly asking him to “mess around”.
Feldman claims to have responded: “What do you mean?” He then says that Haim replied: “You know, you suck each other’s d***, or you f*** around, you do this stuff.”
In the documentary, Feldman goes on to describe the alleged encounter as something that left him frightened and trapped.
“But you know, when you have got somebody that’s trying to come on to you sexually, and you don’t want that, and you are a kid, and you are scared … you do whatever you can to stop it from happening, and that’s what was happening,” he says. “I was being molested by Corey Haim.”
At the time The Lost Boys was released, Haim was just 14 and Feldman was 16.

“So defamatory and hurtful”: Judy questions the story
Judy Haim not only rejected the claims, but also pointed out inconsistencies in Feldman’s story.
She said Corey was never left alone during filming and always had a family member present on set. “Why would they be friends for so long if this happened? It doesn’t add up,” she said.
The grieving mother, who lost her son in 2010 due to complications from pneumonia at the age of 38, said the allegations are “so defamatory and hurtful to [her] son’s legacy”.
