As news broke of an arrest warrant issued for Timothy Busfield on allegations of sexual abuse against minors, former child actor Corey Feldman took to social media to share his thoughts on the matter. In a blunt statement, Feldman expressed his frustration over the lack of change in the industry, highlighting the challenges he has faced in speaking out against abuse.
Feldman’s words come in the wake of his headline-making accusations against his former co-star Corey Haim in the documentary “Corey Feldman vs the World.” While initially sharing his story in the documentary, Feldman later clarified through his representative that he did not accuse Haim of physical molestation, but rather referenced advances made by Haim during their time filming “The Lost Boys.”
Throughout his career, Feldman has been vocal about the abuse that occurs in Hollywood, especially for child actors. With the spotlight now on Busfield and the allegations against him, more information about his history of sexual assault has come to light, shedding further insight into the prevalent issue in the industry.
In light of these recent events, it is important to remember the resources available for those who have experienced sexual assault. If you or someone you know needs help, the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-656-4673.
The unfolding of these allegations serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by survivors of abuse in the entertainment industry. As conversations around accountability and justice continue, it is crucial to support those who come forward with their stories and work towards creating a safer environment for all.
