Corey Feldman: Look! Here is My Stab Wound, Alright?!?
Corey Feldman really hopes the following photo says 1,000 words, most of which can be summed up as follows:
IS THIS PROOF ENOUGH FOR YOU, DOUBTERS?!? I REALLY WAS ATTACKED, OKAY?!?
The former child actor made headlines this week after sharing multiple images of himself in the hospital.
Feldman said in a number of subsequent Twitter messages that he wound up there after he was attacked in his car while stopped at a red light on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
The actor said more than this, too, hinting strongly that he believes this attack was perpetrated by people who want him silenced before he can out various pedophiles in Hollywood who Corey claims abused him and his late friend Corey Haim.
“I HAVE HAD MOUNTING THREATS ON ALL SM PLATFORMS BY THIS VILE ‘WOLFPACK’ & I’M SURE THIS IS A RESULT OF THOSE NEGATIVE ACTIONS!” he wrote of what he classified as a “stabbing,” prior to adding:
“I HAVE REASON 2 BELIEVE ITS ALL CONNECTED! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! HOW SICK R THESE PPL?”
(Editor’s Note: Feldman has argued for years that a group he calls “The Wolfpack” has been after him ever since he went public with the aforementioned pedophile accusations.)
The weird thing was this:
A Los Angeles Police Officer filed an official report that says Feldman was NOT stabbed.
“There were no lacerations to Feldman’s abdomen or any other area of his body. There was no stabbing,” said officer Drake Madison in a statement.
A rep for the actor followed up, however, and clarified that his client never claimed to have been stabbed by a knife.
It may very well have been a syringe and, as a result, Feldman is undergoing tests to see if he was infected with HIV or any other virus.
This really is a potentially serious situation, and it’s worth noting that the police have confirmed that some kind of attack did take place.
And now Feldman has returned to social media in order to depict the literal result of this attack.
“THE WORLDS SMALLEST KNIFE WOUND…..OR?!?!” wrote Feldman as a caption to the following picture.
As you can see below, it’s a snapshot of Feldman’s actual puncture wound:
Continues to star:
“YES I WAS ATTACKED 2 DAYS AGO, YES THEY USED SOME SORT OF SHARP WEAPON, AND YES IT WENT INTO MY BODY! THIS IS WHAT THE SCAR LOOKS LIKE NOW, OBVIOUSLY IF IT WAS A KNIFE I GOT VERY LUCKY & IM BLESSED!
“IF IT WAS A SYRINGE, I WILL PRAY 4 THE BEST RESULTS! GOD BLESS.”
He also added the hashtags:
“!#Kids2 #COREYSTRUTHISCOMING #PRESERVEINNOCENCE.”
An attorney for Feldman named Perry Wander tells People Magazine that the attack may have been motivated by road rage.
It may have had nothing at all to do with Feldman’s past claims of sexual abuse.
But Corey told TMZ the day after he was hospitalized that there are plenty of people out there who want him to shut the heck up, possibly forever.
“I do know for a fact that that conspiracy has to do with every false accusation that you’ve heard about me in the media within the last six months,” he told TMZ.
“And I do know who the organizer of that conspiracy is and I do know who it’s being lead by – and I do know why. It all has to do with the pedophilia claims that I’ve made.”
Feldman has said for a very long time now that Haim, who died in 2010, was raped by someone in Hollywood many years ago.
He has also said that he was a victim of sexual abuse and that he will one day come out and name the person, or people, behind these crimes.
Hence, according to Feldman, why someone might want to attack him and/or even kill him.
LAPD spokeswoman Officer Rosario Herrera said on Tuesday there is “no suspect at this time and the investigation is ongoing.”

Corey Feldman: No, Really... I Was Stabbed!
Corey Feldman is alive. This much we know for certain.
And well?
That may be a different question altogether.
As reported earlier in the day on Wednesday, the former child actor was sent to the hospital late Tuesday after he was allegedly attacked in his car while stopped at a red light in Los Angeles.
Feldman posted multiple times on Twitter about the incident, alleging he was the victim of a homicide attempt.
Why would anyone want to kill Corey Feldman?
Because, the actor states, he has threatened for years to expose various pedophiles in Hollywood who laid their hands on himself and late friend Corey Haim.
Tweeted Feldman shortly after he was attacked:
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!
Here’s the thing, however:
A Los Angeles Police Officer says Feldman was not stabbed, not with a knife at least.
This officer says “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.”
He adds that “there were no lacerations to Feldman’s abdomen or any other area of his body.”
So… what gives?
“Corey got jabbed with a long, sharp object last night after a business meeting,” his rep tells People Magazine, adding:
“He was in the car with his security team at the time. Initially, he was very shaken up and scared.
“He thinks he was stabbed with a syringe of some sort and there is concern that it may be infected.”
This rep also says Feldman is being “tested for HIV” and “any other diseases” that could result from this sort of weapon.
Speaking to TMZ, Feldman backs up this account.
He says the puncture from the stabbing was small and drew a just a small amount of blood, yet he was worried enough to go to the hospital.
Eventually, cops arrived and debriefed him and his security guard, who was on the scene and behind the wheel at the time of the incident.
In a follow-up Tweet early Wednesday, Feldman says his attackers may have been members of “The Wolfpack.”
This is the name he has given to the group of individuals who want him to stop talking about his past in Hollywood.
“@LAPD CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE CASE AS AN ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE! I HAVE HAD MOUNTING THREATS ON ALL [SOCIAL MEDIA] PLATFORMS BY THIS VILE ‘WOLFPACK’ & THIS IM SURE IS A RESULT OF THOSE NEGATIVE ACTIONS!” he wrote, adding:
“I HAVE REASON 2 BELIEVE ITS ALL CONNECTED! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! HOW SICK R THESE PPL?!”
Feldman also linked to various articles about the attack on Twitter today.
His rep also mentions this mysterious Wolfpack in his latest statement, saying of Feldman and what has transpired:
“The ‘wolfpack’ make videos everyday threatening and bashing him and while we don’t have proof that they were involved, he was terrified and didn’t know what hit him.
“The attackers didn’t ask for his wallet or take his car. It was very quick. He didn’t recognize them.”
LAPD spokeswoman Officer Rosario Herrera says there is “no suspect at this time and the investigation is ongoing.”
In his 2013 memoir, Feldman alleged that he and his best friend at the time, fellow child star Haim, had been sexually abused by people in the industry.
Haim died of pneumonia in 2010, but drugs were found in his system and Feldman has argued that Haim turned to narcotics in order to deal with all the terrible things that had been done to him.
During an appearance on Megyn Kelly Today in October, Feldman said he was “fearing for [his] life” because there had been incidents in the past when attempts were made to take him out for good.

Corey Feldman Gives Blow-By-Blow Account of "Stabbing"
Corey Feldman has a detailed story about a group of men that were following his car Tuesday night before yanking his door open and stabbing him with a sharp object, and Corey thinks this might be an intimidation tactic over his recent claims that…
Corey Feldman: Hospitalized After Attempted Murder!
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.

Corey Feldman Accuses THIS Actor of Molesting Him!
For a long time now, Corey Feldman has wanted to name names of Hollywood"s sexual predators.
He"s been outspoken about his own abuse, but has been reluctant to name the men who preyed upon him when he was a minor for a lot of understandable reasons.
Well, now he"s naming names. The video below shows a little context.
Corey Feldman has spoken about the sexual abuse that he and Corey Haim endured as minors.
Both were child actors — Corey Feldman, of course, was one of the stars of the classic children"s film, The Goonies.
Like so many survivors of child sex abuse, both Coreys struggled as adults with what they had experienced and the enduring trauma.
Though Corey Haim ultimately died of natural causes, he reportedly had low levels of eight different drugs in his system.
Many believed that it was drug use that contributed to Haim"s vulnerability to the illness that claimed his life.
It"s not uncommon for survivors of childhood traumas to self-medicate as adults or even while they"re still minors in order to cope with trauma.
In the eyes of many fans, it was sex abuse that claimed Corey Haim"s life.
Corey Feldman has written about his experiences, about child sex abuse rings that he believes pervade Hollywood.
But he"s always been advised by lawyers and editors to not name names, because doing so could expose him to a lawsuit.
Now, in the wake of multiple accusations of rape against Harvey Weinstein, more and more alleged sexual predators are being exposed in Hollywood.
Sexual harassment and sexual assault are, sadly, problems everywhere. From religious institutions to the military to businesses to schools to homes to … everywhere.
But, fortunately, more people are waking up to the realization that this is real and it has to change.
Directors and actors have been names. And now Kevin Spacey has been accused of molesting a 14-year-old, bringing a new voice to rumors that have followed him for decades.
Is there finally enough momentum within Hollywood and public opinion for Corey Feldman to name his alleged abusers without fear or reprisal?
Corey Feldman"s bold new step, in naming this man, seems to be partially because of Dr. Oz.
We cannot believe that the TV personality often characterized as a snake oil salesman who panders to gullible audiences with junk science and misleading factoids is using his platform for good. 2017 is wild.
In the clip that you"ll see below, Corey Feldman and Dr. Oz sit down so that Corey can call the police and report to them the name of one of his abusers.
Corey has long maintained that he told the police everything back in 1993, and that the recorder was turned off when he named names.
(That sounds like a bonkers conspiracy theory, but we have heard of cases of police departments with unhealthily close ties to the entertainment industry … Rose McGowan"s sudden arrest warrant comes to mind, actually)
The man that Corey Feldman and Dr. Oz identify in the clip below is an actor named Jon Grissom.
Grissom starred with Corey Feldman and Corey Haim in two different films. People believe that Jon Grissom is the "Ron Crimson" described in Corey"s book.
If so, that would mean that Grissom was hired in his 20s by Corey Feldman"s father
Dr. Oz has revealed that Jon Grissom ended up serving time in prison for child molestation back in 2003, and that Grissom has not registered as a sex offender since then and is therefore a fugitive from justice.
Which is probably why Corey Feldman felt comfortable going on Dr. Oz to issue this accusation.
Corey Feldman has previously named his former manager, Marty Weiss, without using a pseudonym. In 2012, Marty Weiss was sentenced for committing lewd acts on a child under the age of 14.
Again, that made him a safer person to name.
Anyone who has not been caught, however, could potentially sue Corey Feldman in order to silence him. Wealth and power can earn you a lot.

Corey Feldman: Forced to Get Married Due to Trump Victory?!
The surprise election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America has effected Americans in countless ways.
Some have felt physically ill for a week straight, while others have committed celebratory hate crimes.
But as has been the case every day for however long he’s been alive, no one has had a stranger reaction than Corey Feldman.
Feldman, as you may know, is the child-star-turned-EDM-vampire who brought his band of “angels” to The Today Show to terrify America with his “Michael Jackson on bath salts” moves.
That may sound unnecessarily harsh, but so does his music.
Seriously, watch the clip again.
The guy looks like the aerobics instructor in his nursing home is teaching everyone to “dab”:
One of the “angels” (his word) who joined Feldman on stage that day is “maingel” (also his word, obvi) Courtney Anne.
Courtney, it seems, is Canadian, which explains why she was too polite to tell Corey his music is terrible.
So, what does Corey’s dumb band of dead-eyed celestial beings and Courtney’s Canuck-ness have to with Trump eking into office on a centuries-old technicality?
Everything!
Okay, really just the one thing:
Apparently, Corey is afraid that because of Trump, Courtney (Their couple name is Core-tny. Like Corey, it sucks.) is worried that Courtney is gonna get deported.
Corey tells People magazine that in order to keep his maingel Stateside, he popped the question while he in Courtney were in Miami Beach recently:
“She was very surprised, excited and started crying,” Feldman recalls.
“She was surprised because we had both been so anti-marriage since we met. But seeing as she’s Canadian and with [Donald] Trump coming in, we didn’t want to risk being separated by new immigration laws.”
He continued:
“We both know that we make a good team, and don’t want to be separated for any reason. So this is the best decision to protect our relationship.”
Corey, Corey, Corey … didn’t you get the memo that when Trump says “immigrants” it’s just code for “brown people”?
Your girl Courtney is a tall, skinny, blonde model, aka Trump’s favorite thing second to himself.
As long as she doesn’t get with in pussy-grabbing range of the Donald’s tiny hands, she’ll be just fine.
If anyone needs to be careful in this situation, it’s Corey.
If he keeps trash talkin’ trash, Trump is gonna build a wall around the ’80s so Corey can’t escape again.
Come to think of it, we probably should’ve done that with Donald.

Corey Feldman Apologizes for Appalling American Flag Drop
Corey Feldman returned to The Today Show on Thursday morning.
He did so about one month after singing a song on that same program that was panned so strenuously across the Internet that Feldman said he considered killing himself in response.
You can watch this original Feldman in the video above.
Undeterred by critics in the end, however, Feldman sang a track titled “Take a Stand” on Today yesterday.
Of the performance, he said on air:
“We’re doing something new that hasn’t been done before. But it’s all about innovation and being an artist, and we can’t be afraid to share our art.
“This song is for America.”
Who could argue with that sentiment, right? Aside from Colin Kaepernick? (Just kidding.)
As for the performance itself? We’ll let you be the judge:
Soon after Feldman concluded, however, a new controversy arose.
This one did not center on Feldman’s (lack of) talent, but on the fact that he dropped the American Flag to the ground soon after singing the final verse.
It was picked up and handed back to him by Tamron Hall, but not before viewers took notice and hammered the actor for his appalling act.
In response to the flag flap, Feldman has issued an apology and explanation to People Magazine.
“We were excited and grateful to be asked to return to the Today show, but there wasn’t much time to prepare,” it reads.
“We scrambled to find an American flag to use as a patriotic symbol at the last minute and with no rehearsal.
“Once I was on stage, my brain reverted to my choreography, which was to throw my hands up in the air with a peace sign. As a dancer, my instinct is to drop anything in my hands.”
Feldman concluded as follows:
“In that live moment, it came off as wrong and for that I’m deeply sorry. It was the exact opposite of my intention.”
Poor Corey Feldman. He really can’t seem to win, huh?
But at least he continues to try.
And he told Hall that he performed for a second time on Today because he was not about to let “the bullies win,” responding to the swath of criticism that has been coming his way.
It’s an admirable attitude.
Just consider some of the responses on Twitter to his appearance in September.
“Corey Feldman is on the Today show and he looks like Lord Voldemort. And he’s doing the robot. Jesus, please fix it,” wrote one user, while another added at the time:
“Not sure what’s happening with Corey Feldman on the @TODAYshow right now but it seems like an EDM exorcism.””
Harsh, people. Way too harsh.
Similarly, folks must chill out about the American Flag.
It is a symbol of freedom and artistic expression. There are actual amendments that guarantee these things to U.S. citizens.
If the country is so fragile that simply dropping the flag on the ground is cause for an uproar, well…
… that says a lot more right there than anything Corey Feldman has done or said on television.

Corey Feldman: Screw You, Haters, I Am BACK!
Corey Feldman is a survivor of many things – suicidal thoughts and all – but as of late, he’s become the whipping boy for actor-made music.
Feldman was mocked and belittled mercilessly over his live performance of Go 4 It on the TODAY Show, and returned today with an even greater message to those trying to shut him down …
About the performance, Feldman said, “We’re doing something new that hasn’t been done before. But it’s all about innovation and being an artist, and we can’t be afraid to share our art,” he commented.
“This song is for America.”
Feldman’s return to TODAY featured the performance of Take a Stand, and was an extraordinarily successful bid in keeping the haters at bay.
His moving essay, featured on the show’s website, will easily be one of the most memorable celebrity essays of 2016.
On the TODAY Show blog, Feldman wrote, “As an artist, I bare my heart and soul for my love of creating art. Art is, after all, a form of personal self-expression.”
“I spread love,” he continued, “with my messages of hope for tomorrow.”
“As an artist,” he revealed, “I’ve been bullied; I’ve been picked on strictly because I spread a message of love.”
“As an artist,” he wrote, “I take chances by creating new dances, and I risk it all while trying not ‘2’ fall.”
“If I fail and make mistakes,” Feldman continued, “that’s when my critics have a field day.”
He then takes a shot at Feldman-hating non-celebs, calling them “commoners.”
“However,” he said, “the most painful part is when you get it all right, and remember all the parts, yet you open your computer, and read comments that would tear a hole through any commoners’ hearts.”
Entertainers like P!nk, Miley Cyrus, and Paris Jackson all came out in his defense after Feldman cried openly about the heartless reaction to his earlier TODAY Show performance.
Feldman continued his essay, which spoke of being united, and wanting simply to belong.
“As an artist, I must stand strong,” he wrote.
Corey continued, “I must keep moving forward, no matter what, baring my heart through my song.”
“I’m no better than you,” he concluded.
“I’m not less of a man.”
“But I’m a flawed, fearless artist, presenting a band. My hope is you will see me, hear and feel me, and one day understand, that underneath the art, I’m simply a man.”
Whether you love him or hate him, Corey absolutely has a point.
Nobody deserves to be subjected to the type of abuse that he endured after simply sharing his music with an audience to whom he was invited to perform for.
The TODAY Show didn’t schedule his performance in order to make a joke out of his career. He wasn’t there in order to be the 2016 laughingstock of music.
(That’s Kanye West’s job, of course.)
Feldman is doing his damn best, and even if you aren’t into what he’s producing, shame on you for putting him down for expressing himself.
