In a word?
YIKES!
Corey Feldman is in hospital at the moment and asking fans for prayers after he says he was the victim of an attempted homicide in Los Angeles.
The veteran actor Tweeted a photo of himself in a hospital gown – along with his concerned fiancee, Courtney Anne, by his side – earlt Thursday morning, alerting followers to the troubling situation.
This is what he wrote:
IM IN THE HOSPITAL! I WAS ATTACKED 2NITE! A MAN OPENED MY CAR DOOR & STABBED ME W SOMETHING!
PLEASE SAY PRAYERS 4 US! THANK GOD IT WAS ONLY MYSELF & MY SECURITY IN THE CAR, WHEN 3 MEN APPROACHED!
WHILE SECURITY WAS DISTRACTED, W A GUY A CAR PULLED UP & ATTACKED! I’M OK!
Why would anyone have it out for Corey Feldman?
The actor has his theories… and a history to sort of back up those theories.
The former Goonies and Lost Boys star has been outspoken of late regarding the times he was supposedly sexually molested throughout his career in Hollywood.
Even going as far back as May of 2016, Feldman said he was anxious to name various pedophiles who took advantage of him as a child actor many years ago.
In a followup tweet to the one above, Feldman said the Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating the attack as an attempted homicide.
He believes he was targeted by those who want to silence him before he can reveal the names of his abusers.
Wrote Feldman:
I HAVE HAD MOUNTING THREATS ON ALL SM PLATFORMS BY THIS VILE ‘WOLFPACK’ & I’M SURE THIS IS A RESULT OF THOSE NEGATIVE ACTIONS!
I HAVE REASON 2 BELIEVE ITS ALL CONNECTED! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! HOW SICK R THESE PPL?
If they did the things to Feldman and his former co-star Corey Haim that Feldman has hinted they did, the answer is simple:
They are very sick.
But while some kind of attack does seem to have taken place on Wednesday night, it sounds as though Feldman may have one very important fact wrong.
Officer Drake Madison does confirm that Feldman was approached by men while stopped at a red light at approximately 10:45 p.m.
But he wasn’t stabbed by a knife.
“An unknown suspect opened the driver’s side door of the vehicle and proceeded to make a jabbing motion with an unidentified object towards Feldman’s abdomen area,” Madison said, adding:
“‘There were no lacerations to Feldman’s abdomen or any other area of his body. There was no stabbing.”
Haim died in 2010 at age 38 of cardiac arrest, but he reportedly had various drugs in his system at the time of his passing.
Feldman has argued that Haim fell into a life of substance abuse as a result of the molestation both young stars were victims of early in their careers.
“He had more direct abuse than I did,” Feldman said in the past of his late friend, adding:
“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,.”
Last November, the LAPD ended an investigation into the allegations, saying the incident was outside the statute of limitations.
In October, Feldman announced he was raising $ 10 million to make a documentary that would expose an alleged “pedophile ring” in Hollywood.
He has raised more than $ 273,000 so far for his “truth campaign,” as he has dubbed it.
Said the actor during an appearance on The Today Show last fall:
“I vow that I will release every single name that I have knowledge of, period. And nobody’s going to stop this.”
But did someone try to do so last night, in violent fashion?
It’s possible.
