Corey Feldman: They Abused Me, I Learned to Forgive

[@koolaid3816]

I have a great Corey Feldman story, of how he was very protective over me when I was 15 at a hollywood collectors show. This was the late 90’s. My sister was the manager of a hotel they were holding it at. I was asked if I would want to take money for Corey. I was a very naive 15 year old. I wore a probably not very appropriate dress. I went into his hotel room to get him. He was so nice and right if the bat was such a gentleman. Then I spent the weekend taking money for him from the fans that were buying memorabilia. There was going to be a party at one of the celebrities homes ( or hotel idk) to watch Vincent prices House of Wax as one of the stars from that movie was there. Some of the older actors had made inappropriate remarks aboit me, and asking if I was going to this party, was Corey taking me to this party. He told them all no I certainly wasn’t. Corey very nicely said to me basically yoi are a very nice young girl, you don’t have any business going , it will only be trouble for you. Take a look at my life and keep being good, don’t do drugs don’t get into trouble. You are too nice of a person fur all that. Will always love him , a true gentleman honestly. Looking back that weekend could have gone very differently

He's not been sober at all in a loooong time, if he's ever been. His bandmates say that no, he doesn't drink. But pills, and powders, he's got them coming out his eyeballs. Cocaine, opiates, benzos... They said he is addicted to 4-5 substances... He doesn't pay them, doesn't pay for hotels for them in tour, refuses to hire loaders/unloaders, and forces the girls to do all this work - none of which he helps with - because all his $$$ goes up his nose or down his throat, in pill 💊 form

[@tamara2176]

Thank you for holding the kind of space for Corey that not many others have been able to hold. For a man who has been publicly pigeonholed and scrutinized for as long as most of your listeners have been alive, both you and Jonathan have built the kind of container that folks like Corey can drop into and be immediately seen as Human (with a capital H), fallible, and lovely, all at the same time. I'm 47 years old and so I had optics into Corey's life on film as he made them, which I loved and enjoyed. As a latch-key kid with the TV constantly on, I would watch all of my favorite movies on cable after school. Through The Lost Boys, Goonies, and License To Drive, Corey felt like the cool older brother that I wish I had. Much later when the gossip mags and media decided that he was irrelevant, I fell into the trappings of letting the media's sinister narrative smudge my views on him - which is a shame because after he courageously came out with his story, it was received by some as a cash grab at fame again. The system failed him tremendously and crippled our ability to see beyond the forced narrative that had been thrust under our noses. If he were our friend or family member, we would have been 100% on his side. As it happens, I actually had the pleasure of sitting next to Corey last year while I was on the job photographing one of his favorite guitarists at the Whisky A Go Go from the balcony. I was too shy to say hello, but I was nonetheless in awe of sitting next to someone who against insurmountable odds, faced many a dark night of the soul and now lives as a beacon of hope for others who have experienced similar traumas. Thanks again, Mayim and Jonathan!

[@OnederfulHealing]

I understand the forgiveness perspective and how it frees a person to love others more than I knew was possible, and to allow myself to be loved like I never knew was possible. The way it started for me was by first forgiving myself. The way I have spoken to myself my entire life has been so abusive. I didn't know how to love myself. The first step was to forgive myself and tell my little child self that she was innocent. And then to change how I speak to myself. Because I deserve better. After I did that, without even trying...I just suddenly realized that my resentments were dissipating. To be fair, I was also doing other spiritual things. I've been having a spiritual awakening over the past several years. But I had been very stuck in this. And the very important key steps were forgiving myself so I could start loving myself.

When things happen to children, it is so hard to go back later and realize you need to heal that child that it happened to and realize that you didnt have the tools to get healthy about it because that part of you can tend to only be able to view it through the eyes of a child.

​@@MayimBialikI agree do you think theres jewish over representation in Hollywood's pedo circles?

[@loriwickham4977]

This was one of my favorite interviews, Mayim and Jonathon. I’m grateful you had the space for Corey. He’s a thoughtful, kindhearted, intelligent man who deserves to pursue his dreams.

[@believer773]

I'm pretty sure Corey and I are the same age, he's been around as far back as my memories go. What he's been through is horrifying and even before his stories came out I always saw sadness in his eyes no matter how charismatic and good he was in his roles. It's impossible to hide trauma

[@Art.is.for.everyone8]

I hope he continues to be content and at peace. Def a huge part of my childhood. Its disgusting what was done to him by so many people.

[@cindisowder2182]

Such a great interview. As a survivor of incest, I’ve spent my lifetime driving myself insane trying to “get it right”. I’ve felt myself as so flawed I have to makeup for everything, including my right to be on this planet. This melted my wall in a way nothing else ever has.

Being just a few years older than you both, watching you and being entertained by you both for most of my life, I would just like to say, I'm very glad you're BOTH still here. I admire you both and I'm glad you both are alive and well and living life to your fullest. Corey .... THANK YOU so very very much for all the awesome acting in many great movies! Some of my best preteen and teen memories!

[@Myladybug70]

I remember when Corey was talking about how he was going to be exposing Hollywood. I really think he started the ball rolling. I remember this profound feeling that he was going to change the trajectory of a lot of lives. I’m so happy that he is loving life. Thank you for being you Corey!

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

He did absolutely nothing but smear Corey Haim's name

A really cool interview with Corey. A supportive platform for Corey to speak his truth with genuine understanding. Making waves towards the end of child abuse.

[@Jpab1205]

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. He seems so genuine and real. I’ve watched his career over the years and glad to hear and see him come out on top with forgiveness and love at the forefront of his everyday life. Wish him well and hope to see more of him in movies/TV. THANK YOU

Being a kid in the 80s I remember praying to meet the two Coreys.... still love them the same. Love yous

[@hopecolegio2662]

I just love Corey Fieldman! We are birthday twins. I enjoyed the podcast so much, I was smiling from ear to ear watching him. How he was talking and what he was saying was so inspiring. He made statements that really open my eyes and made me think. Hearing what he had gone through as a child broke my heart and I’m so happy that he survived and is doing great things. He is such a terrific person.

[@francinesanchez5402]

My heart broke for him when he said 70% of his friends are gone. I am almost 37 and have been noticing more lines and grey hair. I see those and am grateful to be alive. I don’t want to take that for granted. I was attracted to this video by the title. “They abused me. I learned to forgive.” I love how that’s phrased. THEY did it. It’s their shame to bear, not yours. I’m not done yet with the podcast, but really enjoying it so far. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your stories. Now I need to check out his other stuff

[@anegar3]

Corey Feldman is a national treasure. Thanks for this wonderful interview. I encourage everyone to go to his show if he comes by your town!

[@LuisCContreras]

I almost skipped this interview, but I’m glad I didn’t. Something about this was so refreshing, touching, and insightful.

[@mcc.o.4835]

This was a great conversation. Glad to see Corey is doing well. He's become very wise.

[@jenniferbassfirstchannel]

So many people do much of Hollywood let him down. He’s such a talented guy actor artist etc. I hope Corey Feldman will make a huge comeback like he had in lost boys and his other movies he deserves a Oscar for his films! My favorite film of him is dream a little dream

[@katmalone817]

I met Corey one time and he was the nicest person. I totally geeked out and probably rude he was so gracious. i had posters all over my childhood walls. I hope the best for him.

[@sadboi7537]

Corey is the man. Loved him since I was a young kid and am still a fan three decades later. 👍

[@barbdowns1]

I’m so happy to hear about Cory Feldman’s life and successes! This was a great episode - thanks so much for sharing!

[@laurene1389]

WOW, I am genuinely so impressed by how articulate and intelligently Corey Feldman speaks and how self-aware he is. The media has portrayed him so differently (shocker) especially in recent years. He has been through so much...abuse, losing so many of his friends...it's pretty amazing how he has come through it all.

[@Pistonbilly]

He’s a decent guy, met him in Vancouver many years ago and watched him interact with a room of somewhat hyperactive fans and his patience and gratitude was very inspiring.

[@violetnoyes]

Corey Feldman - always my favorite - still my favorite! You are awesome, and if I ever have the opportunity to meet you in this life, you are just going to have to deal with meeting me! Keep on keeping on - your journey is truly a blessing to the people of this world.

[@Dessamator]

I'd love for you to have Corey back. As a child survivor of every form of abuse, it's so great to see him doing so well! I've been a fan of his since Goonies. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

[@rockyroad3665]

Mayim thank you for giving a platform for Corey to speak his truth about his life and experiences in the industry. My heart goes out to him for the abuse he endured. He deserves another great movie role.

[@wildlightarts]

One of my favorite scenes Corey was in was his dancing scene in Dream a Little Dream. I still remember it! I love that Corey is still dancing!! 💜🌻🎨

[@patinab1955]

Wow, what a great interview. I have not heard much about Corey in recent years & he looks to being his true self (mentally & physically). Last I knew of him was a reality show he did some years ago. He seems much better together & on a positive path both personally & professionally. ❤ 🎉

[@dash-x]

I’ve adored Corey since I can remember,! I love the safety and understanding he has here with you. Not just the compassion but that you get it in a way many probably could t. ❤️ Thank you for this and giving him a voice! The fact he’s still here, and with such a positive outlook after the abysmal treatment and shaming even in recent years. Soo many owe him an apology even those in journalism. He deserves justice and compassion ❤️🫶🏻

[@jennylynnacres]

This is my favorite Corey Feldman interview ever. I wish him continued happiness and success in all his endeavors. 💗

[@imagine2010mjm]

Been watching your show for quite sometime and I really enjoy it. However....this particular episode is by far the BEST! I can’t tell you how riveting this interview with Corey was. He is such a class act! What a talent and humble human being. The chemistry you both have together is amazing. You got my attention! You are like a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work-appreciate your time and energy. Peace n ❤ to you!

[@kimberlyphillips671]

Mayim thank you so much for having Corey Feldman on your show. I've been a fan of him and his work all the way back to Bad News Bears. He is a wonderful human being. I too am a survivor & truly appreciate that he had the courage to let the world know.

[@Pray4All]

This is so great having Corey on your show. I believe him . And he seems like a great guy.

" Nobody's going to be Responsible for You except for You but we're also not responsible for anything other than our own actions and reactions.... Love This.. thank you for speaking Corey Feldman and the Breakdown Show .. I'm still learning so much for this ...

[@ellies9471]

I’ve always been a fan of his. He is so likable,down to earth, and funny. So sad what he went through in his early life and yet so amazing that he is so composed and well put together and well spoken. I truly enjoy listening to him speak. So many actors on talk shows and during interviews can’t seem to put a sentence together without saying “um” every few seconds which is so annoying. Corey on the other hand is a joy to listen to, though his stories are heartbreaking. Thinking back to all the movies I saw him in, often playing a sassy, bratty little kid it is hard to believe that someone would pick him to attack.

[@alexmaples516]

Im a year late too this one but being born in 1980s Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 we watched all this legends movies.. Better late than never on finding this gem of a podcast..❤

[@KerliaRockwood]

One of my favourite episodes so far. I looove seeing Corey thrive and back on the scene on peoples hearts and minds. There’s been a trend lately of quality people from our nostalgic past getting their due here lately after being typecasted by Hollywood and discarded, and the business now giving them a seat at the table after the PUBLIC has made it clear they never left ours and they are absolutely still marketable and desired. Corey is one of those. And I hope Peele is just a first step.

[@Lrrogers35]

Wow! Thank you, Mayim This was long overdue. I have never seen Corey in an interview sounding so normal and articulate. Thank you so much. This was awesome. You guys did a great job!! 👏

[@melisaco79]

My absolute favorite Breakdown to date in a tie with Wil Wheaton’s Breakdown! Love, love, LOVE Cory Feldman he’s a great guy, phenomenal actor. I enjoyed this, truly.❤

[@MayimBialik]

The highest praise!!! Thanks so much for the feedback! 🧠🫶

[@laurengraff7490]

Digging the direction you are moving in, Corey

[@MicheleAndRandy]

Such a big fan of his movies. When my daughter was 4-5, we were buying CDs at a record store in Granada Hills and my daughter excitedly told me the boy from Goonies was right across from us looking through music. I think we both geeked out. Should’ve asked for an autograph but I didn’t want to bother him. I’m sure we lingered in the store longer than we needed to.

[@jilltran5916]

What Corey says about forgiveness really hits home to me. It made me think and reflect on how i handle trauma also. Thank you for having him on your show!

[@marinareynolds2955]

Thank you Corey for having the courage to talk about the sick Hollywood "secret" that no one is supposed to talk about. Most people remain silent because they don't want to risk being harassed, threatened and bullied for telling the truth.

[@UntamedStrange]

I went through a lot and have since regressed because of it. Corey talking about forgiveness and his journey is so beautiful and has been apart of my own wake up call.

[@DeeStitcher]

This was my first "breakdown" show I watched of your because it was Corey! I love loved him since I was a kid and still love him. Only now I admire his strength and determination to share his story and try to help others that are going though what he went though. Awesome episode. I may be back!

[@MayimBialik]

So glad you found us and enjoyed the episode, Dee! 🧠🫶

[@fresnobear63]

Oh, my goodness. This has to be the best interview with Corey Feldman. He was so natural and intelligent. In the industry a person can and is often lost on who do they want me to be. It was very nice to see and hear.

[@sadumas1]

[@JesusIsAmeliasSavior]

Wow. Thank you so much for bringing Corey on your show. I grew up with you both, and I'm also a survivor in recovery. Just wonderful to see that he's doing well. I love watching ya'll perform, but getting to listen to you just being the cool people you've grown into? Absolutely awesome! Bless!

[@blumoon3100]

I feel like Stand by Me and The Goonies is to those kids what The Sandlot is to us younger kids. Corey is amazing and his career speaks volumes for his abilities to fight through.

[@JB-be1tm]

You guys are great hosts. I found your channel being a Feldman fan. The way you allow your guests to speak is sadly not found on many channels. I'm looking forward to watching more of your shows!

[@reneepolin6549]

I Love Corey's transparent authenticity .It's not selfish to pray for a day of peace

[@kathleenquilausing3165]

Such a fantastic podcast. Thank you for having Corey as a guest. He’s got an amazing soul

[@sacfoxnanny5572]

What stood out to me was when he first revealed what happened to him and others there seemed to be a lot of anger (rightfully so) and now there seems to be a peacefulness that surrounds Corey. And let me just give props for raising an amazing son especially because of the trauma that Corey went through. He could have easily continued with generational abuse or become over protective to the point where his child would not have any real life experience yet Corey and I'm sure his wife also found that sweet spot.

[@brynstarkiller7419]

[@peppercat8718]

Thank you for letting the guests finish their sentences and stories. That’s refreshing and so I am a new subscriber ✌🏻

[@michelleyoo39]

It brings my heart such joy to see Corey came onto your show to share his truth. I remember when Tyler Henry affirmed he share his story. May peace, blessings and joy be his.

[@annechoyrocks]

I stumbled upon this podcast, and I am glad I listened and watched this. Corey has been so forthcoming and his childhood was full of ups and downs, but glad he is emerging through Hollywood stronger than ever. You both have had immeasurable losses, and traumas, and I am thankful for you all. May light, love and good health be yours.
