Corey Feldman, a former child actor known for his outspoken stance on the issue of child abuse in Hollywood, has broken his silence regarding the recent arrest of rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs on sex trafficking charges. The 53-year-old actor, who has frequently shared his own experiences of abuse during his time in Hollywood, expressed his disgust over the allegations against Diddy and emphasized the need for justice to be served.
"It's disgusting, and I'm so grateful justice is being served," Feldman said, reacting to the news of Diddy's arrest. The rapper, whose real name is Sean Love Combs, is currently being held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City. He faces multiple charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Feldman, who starred in iconic 1980s films such as The Goonies, The Lost Boys, and Stand By Me, has been a long-time advocate for protecting children from what he calls a systemic issue of pedophilia in the entertainment industry. He spoke out in the aftermath of Diddy's arrest, stating, "I hope there is a continuation of this, and all these scumbags get taken down because these children need to be protected. It's so gross."
Feldman was also asked whether he had ever attended one of Diddy's infamous parties, to which he responded, "No, no, no. I was probably a little too old to be invited," referencing the allegations against Diddy involving minors. The actor emphasized that he had never met the rapper but reiterated his support for justice being served.
Diddy is accused of coercing and manipulating victims into participating in prolonged sexual acts, which he allegedly referred to as "freak offs." Reports have emerged that his associates would ply victims with drugs to keep them compliant, threatening those who refused to participate. These claims mirror similar allegations made in a civil lawsuit brought by Diddy's former girlfriend, Cassie, last year.
Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents multiple accusers, has recently filed six new lawsuits against Diddy, bringing to light additional disturbing claims. The lawsuits, filed on behalf of two men and four women, allege that Combs molested his first underage victim and engaged in other instances of abuse. Among the accusers is a man who claimed he was molested by Diddy at the rapper's 1998 white party in the Hamptons when he was only 16 years old.
The allegations against Diddy have led to widespread public reaction, with Feldman being one of the more prominent figures to voice his views. The former child star has long been an advocate for transparency regarding child abuse in the entertainment industry. He has previously claimed that Hollywood has attempted to cover up cases of abuse for decades, and he continues to call for accountability for those in power.
In 2020, Feldman released a documentary titled My Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, in which he detailed the abuse he and his late friend Corey Haim allegedly suffered as young actors. In the film, Feldman accused actor Charlie Sheen of raping Haim when Haim was just 13 years old. Sheen has consistently denied the allegations, and Haim's mother, Judy Haim, has also rejected Feldman's claims.
Feldman's advocacy efforts have brought attention to the darker aspects of the entertainment industry, often resulting in significant pushback from Hollywood elites. He claims that senior figures within the movie industry have consistently tried to discredit him in an effort to silence his accusations. Despite the criticism, Feldman remains resolute in his mission to speak out against abuse and support victims.
The six new lawsuits filed against Diddy have added further scrutiny to the case, particularly given that some of the allegations involve minors. One of the accusers claims that they were only nine years old at the time of their alleged abuse. The accusations have prompted calls for accountability from figures like Feldman, who believe that the ongoing legal actions represent a step toward dismantling what he views as a culture of silence within the entertainment industry.
Diddy's trial is set for May 2025, and he has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings. His legal team has strongly contested the charges, arguing that the claims are unfounded and that Combs is the target of an attempt to smear his reputation. In the meantime, the rapper remains in custody as the legal process unfolds.
Corey Feldman has made it clear that he is standing on the side of justice. "All of these scumbags need to be taken down," he said, emphasizing the importance of protecting vulnerable children. "The truth needs to come out, and people need to be held accountable for their actions." As the legal battle against Diddy continues, many are watching closely to see what this case might mean for the broader conversation about abuse and accountability in the entertainment world.
