Who is a family-man persona A-lister anyway? Can't really think of one.

All too strange. Can't be. I don't even wanna speculate.

 

[rjinaz]

As I recall, it was Elijah Woods that made the claim.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Travolta came out, didn't he?

Someone should tell his wife.

 

[Reverend Funk]

Will smith?

 

[WedgeX]

Well. Corey Haim:

That history has been laid bare on The Two Coreys, a reality series on A&E that reunited Haim and Feldman and exposed their rapidly disintegrating relationship. During the show's second season, both actors confessed that they had been sexually abused as kids: Feldman by a man hired to be his assistant, Haim by a 42-year-old man he won't identify. Not long after those startling revelations, Haim suffered a relapse in his 20-year battle with drug addiction.

And if he was speaking about 2008, that would mean they were born in 1966. Or 1965, depending on the month.

There are some guesses in there.

Yup...

More people need in Hollywood need to come forward with this. Let the perpetrators get dragged through the fucking mud.

 

[BajiBoxer]

I don't even want to speculate. Just come out with it.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

I just got worried it was RDJ when I read a quote attributed to haim, where he asks if seems normal that RDJ and his wife would let him share their bedroom. Though maybe the quote was fake it was on youtube

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

I hope its not Robert Downey

Haim's first movie credit in 1984 (per IMDB) was Firstborn with....




Downey Jr.

Are you sure that doesn't mean that the person was 42 at the time of the abuse, not in 2008?

 

[exmachina64]

That would be...wow.

 

[WedgeX]

I am not.

edit:

If it was a 42 year old man from when Haim had reported being abused first, when he was 14, then it would be someone born in 1943 or 1942 depending on when they were born.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Someone should tell his wife.

I just remember hearing about a potential divorce last year regarding Travolta having a double life. Guess it was bullshit.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiit

 

[random25]

saying things like "A lister" and "family man persona" are just fluff to make it sound more scandalous. Could just mean "recognizable guy with kids". Remember before Sheen was outed as having HIV similar terms were being used which made people think it was like fucking Leo DiCaprio.

Didn't know that was how it happened with Sheen's reveal.

 

[MrMatt555]

Furthermore:

“The first time this man raped Corey was after he got him high on pot,” said a source.

It's someone who likes the Ganja, guys!

 

[Deleted member 1235]

pretty sure the celebrity world is approaching the priests in terms of sex creepiness. the UK celebs have already been busted, but USA hasnt really had any major consequences have they?

 

[Nugg]

No name will be released.

This. This whole thing sounds like some kind of blackmail attempt.

Also, GAF, please stop playing "guess who's the rapist". It's incredibly distasteful and insulting.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Downey Jr born in 1965

RDJ was 19 at the time. It's hard to imagine a 19 year old running a Hollywood sex trafficking ring, but stranger things have happened I guess.

This whole thing strikes me as a whole lot of fluff that nothing will probably come from. Corey Haim is dead. Anybody bringing up any supposed allegations he made against an "A-lister" would be opening themselves up to litigation hell.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Sounding more and more like RDJ.
Get ready to have your worlds shattered.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Okay, I got to drop out, because the gossipy aspect of it is getting a little too real with the Downy stuff right now. I'm just going to check in when it's revealed.

 

[Yiazmat]

No name will be released.

This. Is not going to happen.

 

[The Beard]

Sheen or Travolta, those names are rumoured in many diffetent cases.

Sheen is an A-list celebrity with a "family-man facade"? Can't be him.

 

[xxracerxx]

Also, GAF, please stop playing "guess who's the rapist". It's incredibly distasteful and insulting.

Yeah, this is disturbing.

 

[brandonh83]

No name will be released.

Agreed.

No way is it RDJ. First off hes way too young to be 42 when Corey was raped. Secondly if it were RDJ and it was some open secret in Hollywood circles no fucking way Disney would hire them with a potential scandal looming.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Celeb-wise, I guess there's really only been Cosby. While nothing legal has been done as of yet, his reputation, image and legacy are totally shredded. That's about the only one, though.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Hope that whoever it is gets brought to justice.

 

[brandonh83]

It's not RDJ. Good lord. It's probably not even anyone that's been speculated.

 

[Aaronology]

Jesus, I can't even imagine being that powerless.

Aye, very fucked up shit.

Corey Feldman on Elijah Wood Hollywood Pedophilia Controversy: "I Would Love to Name Names"
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/corey-feldman-elijah-wood-hollywood-897403

A lot of this played out on your show, The Two Coreys. We know that Corey Haim obviously had a very tragic end, and it sounds like he had a lot harder time with child predators as he became a star.

He had more direct abuse than I did. With me, there were some molestations, and it did come from several hands, so to speak, but with Corey, his was direct rape, whereas mine was not actual rape. And his also occurred when he was 11. My son is 11 now, and I can't even begin to fathom the idea of something like that happening to him. It would destroy his whole being. As I look at my son, a sweet, innocent, 11-year-old boy and then try to put him in Corey Haim's shoes, I go, "Oh my God — well of course he was erratic and not well-behaved on sets and things like that." What more could we expect of him really? Everybody deals with things differently.

 

[sirap]

Gross. These are serious allegations.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

You can scratch Keifer Sutherland from the list, one of the most touching parts of feldmans book to me was his conversation with Sutherland in a diner on a chance meeting, where Keifer basically says he wish he had been more of a friend to him, about their time on the lost boys set

[Sloane]

Also, GAF, please stop playing "guess who's the rapist". It's incredibly distasteful and insulting.

Seriously.

 

[Bounceounce]

Terrible sensationalized article.

 

[Sandfox]

This is pretty crazy.

 

[KissVibes]

If it was RDJ and this was a big open secret in Hollywood, Terrance Howard woulda told on his ass after getting booted outta that Iron Man money.

 

[The Argus]

Michael Jackson. Might as well jump on the new PR train.

 

[TheSeks]

I hope its not Robert Downey

I doubt it's him. Outside of Downey's drug use, I haven't heard anything "industry gossip"-wise about him being a total ass.

Who would listen to Terrance Howard, though? I mean, I get what you're saying, but...

That seems like it was a 42yr old man at the time of the abuse.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

The quote isn't clear if the guy was 42 at the time of the incident or age 42 at the time the quote was made.

 

[KahooTs]

Not RDJ, it would read differently if it were the biggest star in the world.

 

[majik13]

Who knows where this will go? Anyways I recall the thread here about Eleijah Wood and then someone mentioned that an anonymous commenter for some celeberity sight, talking about all this. Many speculated that commenter was possible 'RDJ'. But seems he was talking about other celebrities...

 

[KissVibes]

You guys may as well say it was Peter Weller.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The quote isn't clear if the guy was 42 at the time of the incident or age 42 at the time the quote was made.

it doesn't really make sense for it to be the latter. That would just be a strange way to word a sentence.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

You guys throwing names around are pretty gross. :

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Hanks?

Don't do this to me Ninja.

 

[G-Fex]

Travolta?

 

[ModBot]

We didn't put "No irresponsible gossipy 'Guess the Rapist' games" in the TOS because we assumed it didn't need to be said so some of you should reevaluate what you consider acceptable posting.
