While it might look like it's some sort of a publicity stunt, I wouldn't be too quick to judge it as such. If Epstein was really killed, it wouldn't be too unbelievable to think that there are people around wanting to stop showing this movie too. While the circles might not be in as high as it seemed Epstein was in, there are still people high enough to really want to stop any accusations go further. It might very well be real that Feldman really was once stabbed and olmost run over by a truck because of this, and now trying to use hacking to stop showing the movie.
Cory Feldman seems to have learned from women, career in the toilet and broke? Yell rape.
Really though I cant believe a fucking thing that little turd would say. I mean he would need some indisputable evidence or a lot of credible witnesses before I'd take anything he said serious.
Corey talked to police about it in 1993 when they were interviewing him for the Michael Jackson case. He told Jackson never did anything to him but named those other names for them (not sure if he only mentioned the names he was directly involved with or also Sheen). The police did nothing with that information.
Later in 2008 or so it came up in The Two Coreys reality show where Corey Haim, angry with Feldman, brought up the rape and asked why Feldman didn't do anything about it. Feldman then admitted he had also been molested after first claiming he doesn't know what Haim is talking about (they had agreed to not talk about Haim's rape in the show but when cornered by Feldman he to Feldman's surprise brought it on the table).
See the clip here:
According to Feldman, Haim didn't want people to learn who did it, but before his death he said he just can't talk about it and that if he dies he would want Feldman to tell the truth. He tried to do it but he was threatened, and he was legally stopped to name real names on his book where he talked more about it. Now he's finally naming names after securing his back for legal troubles that may arise from it. I think this is not really your regular "yell rape if nothing else helps" situation as there is a longer history to all of this.
Besides if Charlie was a rapist it would have been out by now and would have been on trial and in jail. He just seemed like an alcoholic, coked up Hollywood asshole and nothing much.
Bill Cosby managed to go on pretty long with all kinds of rumors around but no-one doing anything about it either.
That said, we don't really yet know what names were really named in the movie. We only have a twitter post here and there claiming certain names were named.
So who knows if Sheen or Bob Saget were really named in the movie. Alphy Hoffman, Grissom, Brascia and Weiss were kind of old verified news already. Perhaps Bob Saget wasn't mentioned but Bob Hoffman was, who was thought to be Alphy's father but instead apparently was later revealed to be his gay lover.
However, as I just learned, Feldman
had linked to this news article on Twitter saying that for the people claiming they never named any names on the film this article would be proof that they did name names. So it seems he at least verifies mentioning Charlie Sheen in the movie. There's no mention of Bob Saget in that article so his name being included in that one tweet might be wrong.
If it's really true about Sheen, damn... Dude was in major trouble ten years ago and got even more trouble later having HIV and while it was entertaining to watch his crazy antics it was also nice to see him trying to bounce back on his feet in interviews from past year or two. He was clearly getting much better, but now this happens... Oh well, what goes around comes around.
