Corey Feldman lost a close friend Wednesday of an accidental overdose. Corey Haim has died at age 38. They became friends when they were in movies together like the “Lost Boys” and “licensed to Drive”.
There has been a great outpouring of condolences from actors and actresses as well as people in the film industry. Feldman was happy to see this kind of response. What angers him is the fact all these people care now when it is to late. Where were they when he could have used a hand or some support.
Haim was a good actor and when he was younger appeared in many movies. With age he was forgotten. He was a man that never would hurt anybody.
Hollywood is cruel to their acting cast. When they are young and popular they will use them endlessly. When they lose that youthfulness Hollywood forgets you existed. If you become unpopular you are done.
Feldman and Haim were child stars that were both forgotten. They both had issues with drugs but Haims had a harder time overcoming the drug problem.
Feldman would like Hollywood to take note of their actions. Acting is a short career for most people Hollywood should do their part to honor the people who give so much for them.
awww, poor boy. Yes, we treat our celebrities SO badly. We treat them like kings – letting them break laws, while we idolize them. He makes a few movies and we dont
treat them like G-ds forever….boo-hoo.
fuck off Jeff. Regardless of how you may feel about this specific topic, in the end, someone actually died. Stop being a petty heartless prick and respect the dead a little- fucking asshat.
Thank you for your response to Jeff. You said it so well!!
Jeff,
I guess you were hatched. Otherwise you would be concerned about the bad Karma you have unleashed into the world. Call all your family and friends today to make sure some freak accident has not taken one of their lives.
And be careful next time you decide to disrespect the passing of another human being.
Although it is sad he died. Addiction is brutal. I have 6 years clean and sober and the sad fact is either you get recovery or you die in your addiction. I agree with Jeff in the fact that they are treated like kings and queens, idolized, let off the hook in many occasions. The sad fact is nobody can help another while in active addiction. Only a power greater than themselves can. And hitting bottom helps. His bottom was death.
Jeff B. should try to be a little more compassionate and sympathetic. I believe Hollywood should take care of their actors, especially as they grow older and less popular.
That’s not the point…..why do people care now when he is dead than when he was alive?! That’s what Feldman has issue with & I don’t blame him. I’ve seen the same thing happen to everyday people and it’s a shame. How come they didn’t care during his life? If people didn’t care when he was alive, they shouldn’t act like they suddenly care when he is dead!
The real point is no one cares anymore more now that he died than they did when he was alive. It’s just a curiousity. In a couple of weeks, the only people that will care are his real family and friends. The rest of us, while human and capable of empathy, don’t really care in the way Coery Fledman thinks we do. We are just observing a tragic human event and only care becuase it appears sad. And not for nothing, why did Feldman abandon Haim a couple of years ago if he really cared?
i agree with rodger,if corey feldman cared so much why did he abandon corey haim and why would he still be friends with a sick pedophile who abused corey haim? if corey feldman was such a good friend,he wouldnt be hanging out with that sick guy and would of helped corey haim.wonder if he knew the guy was a pedophile before the abuse of corey haim but didnt care.i think corey feldman is a fake and just trying to look good
I agree i don’t feel sorry for them at all.If you can’t make money acting go to school and get a job like everyone else.
many child stars dig their own hole
the reason hollywood doesnt want them is that they become alcoholics or drug addicts and are unable to do the work required.
Happens to adults too…who in their right mind would hire Tom Sizemore (sp?) right now?
What I love is the mention of how Hollywood is somehow at fault because when actors age they don’t hire them because it surely could not have been that they didn’t hire them because they had drug problems! I agree with JeffB!
Oh, bullcrap! I am sick and tired of weak people having to be treated like a victim of life’s circumstances, especially when they created the situation they are in. Whatever happened to personal accountability and learning to wipe your own butt without calling for help? Yes, its’ a shame what happened, but it is no greater a shame than the tragedies people who are less famous face everyday. Had he taken initiative to quit and really worked his butt off, then it would be more of a shame.
I fully understand what Cory Felmans point is but there are a lot of unanswered questions.
For all of you hardass critics, alcoholism and drug addiction are diseases. Big difference, you can’t go to a doctor and cut out the alcohol or drug like you can a lump or a bad gallbladder.
What if it was not people caring but Corey Haim not reaching out to the people that were there, or reaching out for the wrong reasons and burning all his bridges.
There are many reasons for alchololism and drug addiction and maybe people should be focusing on education and prevention instead of criticism.
Instead of sitting in judgement, open your minds to cause and effect.
I’m a counselor for drug/alchohol addiction.
There was no judgement, just fact: when you pick up the alcohol or drugs and put them in your system, you are at fault for your death. You should expect no one to feel sorry for you.
Thank you Bill T.!!!! It’s hard to become a drug addict if you don’t ever choose to try drugs or alcahol in the first place.
I feel sorry for your patients and anyone who has to come into contact with you, really. Not everyone is as strong as you seem to think you are. Terrible events happen to people and it effects others in different ways. For instance, my mom completed suicide, I wasn’t driven to drugs or alcohol, but 2 of my immediate family members were. If you’re counseling people who are feeling weak and vulnerable, you need to have more sympathy or find a new job.
Do you actually think that when addicts grow up they want to be addicts or alcoholics. I don’t want to be a doctor or lawyer- I want to destroy myself and everything around me to be king drunk or junkie.
Where did you get your degree? How can you honestly counsel people with this outlook. Your success rate must be low, you would make me want to drink. I really have a hard time believing you are a counselor. Yes, I am calling you a liar because this is not the attitude of drug or alcohol counselors- I know because I REALLY am one, oh ya, I am also a recovering addict and alcoholic.
NOT a disease, it’s a choice, only classified as such to get insurance to pay for the doctor bills. Classifying it as a disease has also allowed people to not own up to the stupid choice they have made.
you are a complete idiot. where do you live? in the stone age? Must be nice to live in disneyland. pick up a newspaper or better yet A BOOK!
btw- that is in response to this jackass:

Just saying needs to do a little research on addiction. Alcoholics and addicts have a different reaction to alcohol and drugs than normal persons do. It is a disease. This is the type of close minded thinking that leads to judgement rather than understanding and compassion. Hopefully no one in your family will have to experience addiction. You will have a hard time if they do.
just saying you must live in neverland. while I agree that choices you make have repercussions, but being a recovering alcholic our brains work in different ways then others do. this is a real disease and a deadly disease at that. you really need to check your facts before you spout off at the mouth. this is a progressive disease just like cancer or aids we will never be out of its shadow sure we can get treatment but it never goes away. It must be pretty beautiful from where you sit on your might throne of ignorance. and just so ya know most insurance companies don’t cover rehab. there is no wonder pill to fix this. we have to struggle just driving by a bar or social event without having an urge to stop in for a “social” beer. please do some research before you start talking about somthing you probably know nothing about. start being part of the solution and NOT part of the problem.
Celebrity status is irrelevant. I have seen many people with substance abuse problems. Our bodies can become easily addicted. It’s not about being smart. Smart people are addicts, too. Swearing and abuse just shows how immature some of you are.
Drug abuse is rampant. But I see even Dr.Drew can’t help. So lay off with the silly crap.
I’m not sitting in judgment as much as I’m sitting in opinion. The two Coreys chose their drug paths, and one came out the other side alive. Kudos to Feldman for hopefully kicking the rotten behavior. Shame on Haim for allowing himself to reach the depths that he did. You can call substance abuse a disease, and I would agree. That does not abolish personal accountability and the individual’s obligation to himself, and society, to tackle this issue, no matter how hard it is to overcome.
It is a tragedy that Corey Haim died at such a young age. In fact what Corey Feldman says is true. These kids are idolized and then hung out to dry. These people show interest when its too late. ( pretty much the same for Michael Jackson) They only care when its convenient. Why didn’t some of these people step in and lend a hand to a “friend” in need. Instead they went about their lives only to cry and weep when a death occurs…. Hypocrites!
May Corey Haim RIP maybe he can find that peace now that he so longed for.
People did reach out, in fact, the other Corey did so. There comes a point in time when you can’t help someone who doesn’t want it.
As a child he acted in children’s movies, but couldn’t make the transition to adulthood. People always feel bad about death and they felt bad about his death, this doesn’t mean they didn’t care when he was alive, but when did it become their responsibility to fix his life. Fame ruined him, not other celebrities. Where were the parents? His death can be laid at their feet more so than Hollywood, they knew. In the end, his death is laid at his own feet, he couldn’t grow up and deal with being just a normal person. When you become an adult, you take stock of your life and take control of it. His fault was in blaming others for his life and in the end when he looked at himself, didn’t think life was worth living, easier than fighting the challenges of life. Anyone who is loved and loves others will tell you that is life, not fame, money, etc.
Wait, I recall a video of a visit Feldman made to Haim’s residence, where Haim not only threw them off the property, but Feldman is heard to say….*Go ahead, kill yourself, I don’t five a eff*. And off he drove.
That’s caring? Practice what you preach.
I dont feel sorry for Any actor that takes drugs for this & that, Dr’s are to be blamed also, but, i dont feel sorry for anyone that ABUSES drugs like acyors do, as for Corey Feldman, he kicked his BEST FRIEND out of his house after taking him in, because of his drug use, and because of Feldmans wife,if you were such a GOOD FRIEND, why didnt you help him MORE instead of kicking Haim to the curb??
I do not think or agree that alcoholism and drug addition are a disease. It is just an excuse to continue on a destructive path and to place blame on something other than yourself. Individuals with cancer or terminal illnesses cannot say..”Ok, today I will not have cancer”, where as a addict can say..”Ok, today I will stay clean”
But, I do understand what Feldman is saying. He does not want everyone to say how much they will miss him and how they respected him for his talents, when he went so long wanting those affections and never got them. Some place so much self worth on the affections from others.
I agree with the person above whom stated that you need to read a book. Alcholism and Drug Addiction is a disease. If it where not why would people continue to use despite all negative consequences, Jails, Institutions and Death. Its like asking for a heartattack why would someone do that if they didn’t have a problem. They use these drugs to self medicated to feel normal because they’re is some other underlying condition.
As far as Corey Haim and Hollywood turning there backs on him. I don’t feel it is Hollywoods responsibility it is his family and his responsibility. If I were working for an employer and missing work because I was hooked on drugs I would not expect them to continue letting me work there.
Drug and alcohol addictions are habits not diseases. It is usually a casual and constant use that turns to habitual use. If you stay away from drugs and alcohol, you will not catch the “disease”. It will not grow unknowingly inside you and then suddenly surface unless you have already made a conscious decision to have a drink or take a drug in the 1st place. Have some accountability!! I have used most drugs and thankfully, I woke up one day and said “No More”. That was 20 years ago and I couldn’t have done that with a disease!
Well kudos to you. But the sad fact is that you were not a addict. All the research points to a disease. Alcoholics and addicts don’t wake up one morning and decide to be addicts or alcoholics. If it were as simple as just quitting there would not be treatment centers and 12 step programs. Anyone who believes that is not a disease does not understand addiction and is close minded. Maybe you all should do a little research and read some medical journals before giving us your “professional” opinions.
As a recovering alcoholic, I can tell you all first hand that it is a desease. I did not feel in control of my own actions when I was drinking. That being said, I was always making a choice to get drunk. I was making a choice to hurt my family, my kids, and my friends by continuing to get drunk. My alcoholism was a choice I made. I now make a choice everyday to stay sober….and I mean everyday it’s a choice. Everyday I want to drink, but I make a choice not to. Corey Haim had the opportunity to make the same choice, but he didn’t. RIP CH.
Drugs and Alcohol have there toll.
I just wonder why Child Actors are dropping off so quickly? Are the Agents pumping them up for more performance or easy money easy habbits?
I’ve always loved Corey Haim and dreamed of meeting him someday. When I heard the news I was very sad. I can’t believe some of you people are so heartless! He was a good actor and a good person I believe, he just made some bad decisions in his life but who hasn’t!? I really hope he’s found peace now and he will be forever missed in my heart!
Stacia,
I totally agree with you 100%. There is not one person reading this who hasn’t made bad choices in their life and will still continue to make bad choices. People love to point fingers at others when they are on the other side of the fence and don’t know what another person’s life is all about? Haas any of you ever tried to be famous before and on top of the world?
Yes, Hollywood does use, abuse, and throw away actors. Your young and vibrant, full of energy and spunk and then when you get older your body isn’t worth anything to them anymore. Kinda like any other job in the United States. But People have some respect for someone who has died. Some of you act like you don’t have a heart at all. Grow up and have some compassion.
We all have life choices to make. Some people take the high road and some don’t. Some use food as a crutch, while others turn to drugs and alcohol. Regardless, it is an addiction, and NO matter how you look at…In the end: It is what it is.
Im sorry all of you Sheep,being led by the nose BELIEVING what ever the news says!!!!
What if he was murdered…..???? Does anyone know? Maybe they’ll investigate….hopefully they will…
It seems like…If an actor dies of an overdose…thats the only thing they look at, that he took his own life…..Hmmmm.
…. watch Feldman milk this for all the publicity it is worth. New Reality TV show – “Mourning Corey”?
In my younger days I too had my successes..Then got cought in the hype of my own greatness…Im not an actor but when u have an addiction, you become one..Its easy fo me to see whats happend to Haim…Its a deep hole (addiction)… And right on Feldman!! keep up the good fight!! We will all be cured from drugs and alcohol….one way or the other……………..
Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult.
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.
After the game,
the king and the pawn go into the same box.
Feldman crapped on Haim more than society. He should take a good look in the mirror before blaming Hollywood on all the problems out there. Fact is, millions deal with issues every day, and the only one responsible for your actions is yourself. Haim had years to correct his problems, and he made poor choices.
This is so true it’s starts out been a choice.Then one day you are hooked in something you yourself can not get out of by yourself most of the time. My main concern here is did this youngman know GOD
IT is a tragic ending with loved ones left behind to deal with seeking meaning in the loss and the path that led to this sad ending. Corey Feldman lets talk. I have an idea.
Feldman is basking in the attention. he can’t help it. He is an actor. A drama queen. It’s in their make up. Sorry, it’s true.
My Goodness, watch celebrity rehab. It’s a bunch of ME ME ME ME, my problem is worse, all clamering for the camera. Get a job, 9-5, support a family, barely making ends meet, serve your country, claw your way through callege, then lets talk. Till then, frankly, people die every day, no one helps, no one cares, except their families.
As for Hollywood taking note of their “actions”, these guys are paid over the top for their talents. Cory needs to come back to earth. Most of us slave at jobs that pay little and work us to the bone. I’m sorry that Haim passed, he was a cute kid, but . . .none of us are getting out of here alive.
Cory Haim made adolescent crap movies that teenage boys and girls squeeled over. He wasn’t a great actor by any means, that’s why he couldn’t land jobs after his cuteness wore thin. I don’t care he died, just like I don’t care about anyone else I personally don’t know dies. It is however unfortunate that he died, he was someone’s son, friend, cousin etc. but to say that I care would be a lie.
Wow, Jason 23, all I know that if someone from your family hit the news with a death in a tragic way, I certainly would care. You have a very hardened heart. Sad.
I don’t see why you’d care? You don’t know them or me. I said it was unfortunate but I told the truth and said I don’t really care. Do you comb the obituaries and grieve all day about people dying? I don’t have the time or energy to worry about these things. Same as I don’t care if Tiger Woods cheats on his wife or Brangelina are adopting another baby. I tend to worry about my own life but this article and it’s ridiculousness inspired me to leave a comment.
Feldman is just mad that Haim didn’t split is dope with him. I Feldman really cared he would stop bitching and give Haims family all the money he makes off Haim’s Back. Screw both of them they made their money and bought hookers and blow. So what they are both idiots that could not live in the now how about being remembered for something productive and not a crap movie from the 80′s. RIP Corey Haim done…
Addiction may be a disease, but in reality it is a symptom. The first time you use it is a “choice” not a disease. We choose to medicate to cover-up or escape a problem, or a past, or a trauma. Using drugs or accelerating your use of them is the outward signs or symptom of a larger, usually untreated disease. Having a family history of addiction plays a large part, but no rehab or 12 step program is going to “cure” these symptoms until one gets to the root of why you chose to medicate or escape in the first place.
Corey Feldman should know all to well that many people, including himself, were there for Corey Haim throughout his long and protracted use of drugs. Corey Haim labled himself an “incurable relapser” and had attended both in-patient and out-patient rehab programs…15 in total. A great deal of his friends and extended family were there for Corey. Corey Haim had the resources available to him to successfully treat his addiction, but he chose not to put the effort in and that choice caught up with him. To my knowledge he never enrolled in a methadone or suboxone program that would have severely blunted his cravings to use again.
So in the end, I don’t buy this BS that Corey Feldman is talking about. Even Corey Feldman broke off all contact with Corey Haim in 2008, because he thought that tough love would change Corey Haim. Only Corey Haim could change Corey Haim, and whether it is a disease is besides the point. You and only you can decide if you want to treat your disease…be it addiction, heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. In the end it all begins with a choice…a choice to use drugs and a choice to treat your addiction. My 2 centavos.
Wow, people have to stop playing the blame game. It is a tragedy that yet another Hollywood Celeb has appeared to have died from a drug overdose, whether it be accidental or purposely done. Yes it happens to everyday people and yes it is an addiction. We don’t have to argue these facts. The sad part is that another person has died who was tormented emotionally down to there very being. Addiction is a very lonely road. Some are fortunate that they do escape it’s grasp. As far as judging anyone, take a good look at yourself and ask yourself are you there for the one who may be in your life that needs you. We only know what the t.v. show’s want us to know. There is such a thing as editing, and who’s to say that Corey Feldman did not drive back to make amends with Corey Haim. It’s very sad and he did lose a close friend no matter how you look at it. Peace be to you Corey Haim.
everyone is correct! but more importantly, the entire world revolves around greed, selfishness, and the fast and biggest bucks!!!!!
so sad!another person died!he wasnt just an actor..he was somebody”s son.i loved his acting and will always remember him for that grin!!RIP my friend.
death is often tragic…but when people CHOOSE alcohol, iilegal drugs and/or prescription drugs to deal with the “pain” in their lives, only they have made themselves unemployable, sick and useless.
You know, until you have ever walked in the shoes of drug and alcohol abuse or lived a life in or around someone that had a struggle with addiction, than there is no room for judgment. He was a human being that just could not break the addication and it is just very sad. Whether one thinks its an excuss or not to keep abusing, he just could not fight the battle. No one truley knows what his battle was like, but himself. So before judgeing a person for the path they lived, look at why. He will be missed by many and will no longer have to struggle. His bottom was his life and that is truly sad.
Amen: Tash….
Well said it is the persons decision to get help or not.
it’s sad that Corey died. he made some really good movies and was a good actor. i think feldman has every right to be mad about the way he and corey were treated. hollyood is just like the vampires in the movie they starred in ‘the lost boys’…..hollywood and the agents live off your blood then leave you in an alley to rot when the day is done. RIP
I wouldn’t blame Corey Feldman for being angry at movie industry. Some actors/actresses are like “meat parade” to movie industry and Hollywood. Some success, some fall. I wished if Corey Feldman’s success beating drug habit, Corey Haim could do the same. That’s what Hollywood’s all about. Money/fame sometimes can be sweet but yet dangerous. Like Corey Felman says…when you’re unpopular, you’re done. Just like Little Rascals, they were popular until the movie industry told them they weren’t too cute anymore like they were as kids. Movie industries are the blame. Too much favorism, arrogant and ignorant for others. Once you’re discarded, you’re all alone. I think that’s beyond ridiculous and appalling. Corey Haim was the best. He was a definite true nature, he struggled to remain as real as he was onset as well as offset. I admired Corey Haim for being who he is. Felt like he was one of us. No doubt. Same saying goes for Corey Feldman. A little message for Corey Feldman…go kick the movie industries’s asses!! What they did is “bullying”. If not for that, Corey Haim would be alive today. R.I.P Corey Haim. _l,,/ (ILY in a hand sign)
Wow Jason23, you’re not a very nice person at all. To say you don’t care he died or anyone who dies that you don’t know is pretty bad. Makes me know what kind of person you probably are in your life and I’m sure it’s not a very good one. Yeah I didn’t know Corey Haim but I was still a fan and loved his movies so the fact that he died so young and that his mom had to be there to see it is quite sad. You obviously didn’t like his movies but I know a lot of people that did and are sad that he’s gone. So just watch what you’re saying cause karma is a bitch and you’re talking about someone who died. The dead deserve respect regardless!
Stacia,
The dead do deserve respect because they are dead. Hitler died, deserved no respect, and that is just one figure. It’s sad that many choose to use drugs and alcohol as a crutch. It’s sad that they don’t have support around them that keeps them from making those choices. It’s a shame that a young man grew up so tormented that killing himself seemed like a good idea. The parents got him into the business, the fame and money made him into a wreck, and sadly, he couldn’t grow up to face his demons and make the right choices to live a happy life. That said, Haim was no more special than the drunk down the street, the drug addicts in our impoverished neighborhoods who die everyday. In truth, he had a lot more to live for and enjoy than most of them, yet…. It’s a sad shame that anyone dies early, and that they kill themselves. Living is hard, save your sadness and pity for the kids with cancer, the people who didn’t cause their own “disease”. He was old enough to know better and to seek help. He was not old enough to be self aware, to give up on the fame and fortune and just enjoy life. May God forgive him and welcome him with open arms and heal is pain, and show him what love is really about.
Gimme a break. If you honestly were strickened with sadness you need a reality check. Would you honestly and I mean honestly feel sadness if you found out a family member of mine died? Would you cry? Would you take the day off work? I said it was unfortunate he died. Look back at my my comment, there’s alot more compassion on there than most of these jokers. Maybe it was my attitude towards all of this. The public does not personally know these people but yet the fall all over the place when something tragic happens. I know plenty of people that idolized Michael Jackson when he passed even though he was accused of molesting children numerous times. Does he deserve respect? Does Jeffrey Dahlmer deserve respect? People need to pay more attention to their families, communities, thier neighbors etc not people they don’t know. I am a good person active in the community and married with 2 beautiful children. We’ve raised our children to be very sharing, compassionate and respectful and that’s good enough for me.
To some of you black hearted ones…don’t you ever stop there and think…many of us blurted out when angry without thinking, there at some point where I told my daughter I wanted her out of my place when I got angry. When I calmed down, I told her I was sorry and didn’t mean to say that. When you’re angry, you blurt out when you actually don’t mean to. Don’t pretend you don’t ever do that. What 2 Coreys say on show when angry at each others probably doesn’t mean anything. That’s best buddies/families are all about. You’re making either of them look bad just because they said those stuffs or done, don’t judge them if you’re no better than that. Dahling
Addiction is a very complicated problem,,,with not one easy solution,,,,,,It is however a never ending battle,,,,,God bless all those who lost the battle………………
I am sorry that I was such a Douche, please forgive me. I would like to accept responsibility for myself and my actions, but instead, I blame all of you! I turned to drugs only because you stopped kissing my as*, you stopped telling me how great I was, you stopped squealing when I walked by. I made some crap movies and was paid way too much money for them, then the roles and money stopped coming in, for this I also blame you, you allowed me to drink to excess and do drugs, you could have stopped me! you had control over my actions after all, why didn’t you stalk me to make sure I was behaving! I am dead and it is your fault! one of the greatest actors in history aaagghhhhh (sorry, choked a little on some soil) and now I am dead because you should have spent every free minute of your lives doting on me and what I was doing at that time!! you do it for Britney Spears and “Lady” GAGa, why not me.
Oh please get real. It’s sad when any mother, father loses a child under any circumstances. So please try to get beyond yourself and have a little mercy.
Margie is a child rapist whore
Don’t be jackass… sometimes people have no choice but give a “tough love” if necessary. Maybe Corey Feldman doesn’t mean to “abandon” his best pal, only to make him realize his problems. Many of us misinterpreted only on the outside. Remember, we weren’t THERE and we shouldn’t say anything we assume let alone watching their shows called “2 Coreys.” Why don’t some of you get a job as an actor/actress and prove those “discard ones” you’re better than them. $1.00 bet says you will FAIL. And, some of you who say you don’t care famous ones die or badmouthed about their deaths as if they deserved it…when you die, we don’t give a hoot, either! Remember, they were once human being like the rest of us. Give them some break.
If it’s any consolation, Mr. Feldman, I don’t suddenly care that your friend died.
OMG…People it’s called COMPASSION. Whether it was drug related or not, disease or an excuse, good actor or not—The point being a person died…tragically. Death is for the people left behind to mourn. Have decency if not compassion of speaking ill of the dead. It is something you should have been taught as a child. Shame on all of you…
So true thank goodness there is still a heart in some people
Word!
Did you actually read what you wrote allykat, you whoring baboon? “Death is for the people left behind to mourn” Are we killing mourners now you dumb twat?
Wow! What a bunch heartless fkn pricks you people are!
Someone Died here! Regardless of celebrity, drug addict whateva. He was someones SON! You peices of shit!
Corey HAim was as in his teenage years MORE THAN ANY of you can even dream of. He was every teenage girls love, including mine.
Give the man some FUCKN RESPECT!
BronxNY,
Respect is earned. He was a good kid actor that people enjoyed. He was no more than anyone else except famous. If you picked 10 people to start the next world with, they wouldn’t pick an actor, then again they wouldn’t pick me. If I killed myself today, there would be no nationwide mourning, Feldman would not be milking the limelight for my death, it would affect the people who loved me. Had he been hit by a bus, I would be sadder for it, that is tragic. Killing yourself is sad, but it does not “earn” my respect. The people who live through the tough times deserve my respect in life and death. The suicide bombers who killed innocent people died a tragic death when they hit the twin towers, everyone but them on the plane gets my respect, they had no choice, the idiots had a choice. Haim had choices, made many bad ones and then the ultimate bad one, I feel sorry for the loved ones who tried to help the best they could.
Word! Let them choke their own words when their loved ones die…perhaps their own children. Table will turn one day. It will. Let them enjoy mockin while it lasts. You go, man!
Are you writing in coherent sentences? Are you really to stupid to make any kind of sense? P.s. corey was a drug addicted cock whore
Poor Soul.
I agree! You guys are all heartless! I can’t believe you have no compassion at all for the dead. I really feel sorry for you.
some of the replies on this are proof of the heartless nation this country has turned into….those of you will reap your own reward sooner than later…..no need to name names because you know who you are
Haim has always been my fav actor. populor or not. RIP man, RIP. all these arm chair quarterbacks that have no idea what bein in the limelight and bein sold as a product is like can just stfu. Feldman, i feel for ya man. do somethin about this dude. dont let him die in vein, slain in the media.
Drug addicts die everyday. Why is Corey’s death less or more significant than others? Morbid curiosity. Celebrity rejection is certainly not the only reason people turn to drugs. It’s a person’s emotional structure and lack of strength or motivation to recover that leads to poor choices. Corey’s celebrity death could be used for good, like education, but I suspect it will be have it’s 15 minutes of fame and be wasted like other celebrity deaths. I do believe we are all missing the point here.
Some of you people are horrible! Sick and demented. This was a human being and your so heartless. Maybe someone you love will die in such a way and you will remember being such a jerk.
This was a human being… a person who had a heart and mind. No wonder the world is so messed up….
people like this in it who can not even respect the dead.
CUDOS TO DAVID!!!! THANK YOU FOR DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS.THE FIRST TIME IS A CHOICE, CONTINUING TO USE IS THE SYMPTOM OF A DEEPER PROBLEM.ALL OF US AT SOME POINT HAVE SELF MEDICATED ON ONE THING OR ANOTHER. SOME OF YOU NEED TO GET OFF YOUR HIGH MORAL HORSE AND BECOME A PART OF THE SOLUTION AND NOT CONTINUE TO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM
I happen to know Corey F and his wife. They are wonderful people who care about others deeply. I feel for them and their loss. Corey H was a human being indeed..one who people exploited and then tossed to the side. Compassion is what is needed here….and a lesson in how ALL of us should be taking care of one another. Corey F. and his wife tried and tried, but like Corey said, it wasn’t enough…they needed help and everyone turned their back on them and Corey H.
You Killed me! all of you! always making excuses for me, Corey H always making me shlob his knob. Now I am in Hell sucking Satans dick and it is YOUR FAULT!!!!
By the way, his death is sad and my heart goes out to his family and friends. There has become a mind set in America that everything that happens to us is our right if it’s good and someone else’s fault if it’s bad. Grieve his loss as you feel but don’t be phony and hypocritical. God Bess us all! He never said it would be easy.
Wow,people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!! I am a recovering addict,have been for 7 yrs,I say recovering because addicts never fully recover, they just take it day by day and try to avoid falling back down the rabbit hole. But when I was at my worst, when I hit rock bottom,everyone was there to give all of this awesome advice but no one, not even my own family could give me the answers that I needed. It was always just easier to let me know how disgusted they were of me for making this horrible choice that I could obviously just stop if I wanted to, and to an addict that seems like you’ve just been discarded and thrown away. There are those out there that don’t want help and then there are those that do but don’t know how to get it. Alot of people need to climb down off of that righteous high horse that they rode in on because even though at this point in your life you haven’t experienced an addiction,there just might come a time in your life when something-and it may not necessarily be drugs- consumes you. It’s never a big deal when it’s not happening to you, and that’s just human nature, so I understand where a lot of these comments are coming from-it’s called ignorance.Because if this was happening to you right now at this very moment,well, then we would be having an entirely different conversation, wouldn’t we. Take the time to educate yourself on this subject. Regardless if you think this is a disease or not, it is a huge problem in our society today, and if you know someone that is suffering from an addiction don’t just write them off, there is always hope,and sometimes we are just looking for that shining light at the end of a very long tunnel, and it just might be you!! I hope that Corey finds the peace in death that eluded him so much in life. Sleep now Corey.
To Joy:
Thanks for your endless diatribe that contains every tired NA and AA cliche known to mankind.
I’m sorry that you do not have the spine to make the right choices and you have to “let go and let god” and all that horseshit. It’s pretty convenient, blaming your faults on a supposed dissease. I used to have the same “disease” until I realized that it was one giant excuse to be irresponsible.
You needn’t preach to us Worry about your own sobriety, keep your insecurities to yourself, and stop being a big fat victim.
Dear Dave,
Thank you for being that example of a person that is actually being discussed in this article. I wasn’t preaching to anyone,just putting my two cents in, ya know kinda like you just did.(heh-see what I did there) The only thing that I was saying was-and to put it your terms-YOU NEEDN’T be so judgmental of addicts, everyone has their faults,kinda like you do when you sit behind a keyboard all day long and look down upon anyone who isn’t YOU. (See I can be just as big of an a** as you) But it isn’t anyone’s right to judge-unless you have went through that situation in your life, and I see that you haven’t so maybe you should keep your trap shut on this one. Go get some experience then we’ll talk and by experience I mean get out from behind the keyboard and experience real life. I’m not blaming anyone for my problems, I chose to start it and I am the one who ultimately chose to stop it, and if that makes me a cliche, oh well. FYI it’s awful big of you to point out all of my flaws without even knowing me, karma Is a…no wait, that would be another cliche so let’s just say that one day you will be on the receiving end of something bad in your life and I hope for your sake that people have a little more empathy for you than you do for other people.
Like everyone else after watching the Two Coreys I knew in my heart that Haim would always have a drug problem. BUt I thought at least he was STill Here and has a chance to keep trying!
My God why him and not somebody else! Im sorry thats how I feel, not that I wish death on anybody.
I feel a small peice of my childhood died with Haim.
You will be in my heart forever.
Corey Feldman is a fucking idiot! Someone has died, but that doesn’t erase the past and foolish behavior. Life is choices and sometimes the results are cruel. Coery Feldman is a total moron who is taking up precious space on this earth.
Attn JB who gave you the right to judge.That position belongs to GOD only so back off.
all this blah blah karma crap I don’t bleieve it!
its all a hoax!!
the dead mourn the dead and point is he’s gone and there’s nothing you or I can do but go on and live our life like we did..
I’m not heartless just the truth I feel bad for the family and all but you can’t be sad forever if you didnt know him..and just because you were a fan doesnt mean you know the true pain that the family goes through..and the statement about “respecting the dead” what’s there to respect they’re 6 feet under they can’t do anything and no Gods not going to punish me or anybody else he doesn’t want people to keep mourning a death..so live a joyful and full life..
I understand the logic behind everyone who believes that addiction is NOT a disease. However, I think if you uderstood what is really meant by calling it a disease, you would be more acceptable to the theory. Some people have a higher chance of becoming addicted to something (an addictive personality trait for lack of better words). That potential is hereditary, but ofcourse you would not become addicted if you never picked up the habbit to begin with. Taking Responsibility for you choices is a Huge part of the addiction being a disease theory. Many people will not say or accpet that because they can not use it as a crutch or excuse if they do. The theory says that the potential and the degree of it is the disease. IF you use drugs, you are more likely to become addicted than someone who was not born with it. Many people can use drugs recreationally for a long period of time and then just quit, others can use it three or four times and become addicted. That is the disease issue. The fact of you doing the drug to begin with falls at your feet and is something you are responsible for. However, there are many good programs to help you quit. Just because someone gets help and then uses again does not meen they did not try. Once addicted, the disease is very smart because it takes over your mind. Your mind will rationalize and make excuses for your useage even when you don’t want to use. BUT IT CAN BE BEAT AND IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET YORSELF OUT OF SOMETHING YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO, DISEASE OR NOT !!!
I agree with you and the theory of disease that you offer up as a reason for addiction. And here’s an extra addeed kicker to that theory…look around at the hundreds and thousands of people that have in fact overcome their addiction…why? Because they did take their lives into account and put forth the effort to overcome the “disease.” I am in healthcare and currently administer chemotherapy to cancer victims. These people are also victims of a disease over which they have absolutely no control. The commonality here is that both diseases have a degree of fatality if you do not consciously address the problem. Fortunately for my line of work, we do see patients that do overcome the disease and for that we celebrate. We also celebrate when victims of drug and alcohol addiction overcome their disease, although not to the same level. I was a drug user in my “youth.” Recreational and all that….it was absolutely fun to shut out everything and experience the “freedom” that comes with the high. Fortunately for me, I did wake up and get off the drugs easily…guess that means that I was not hereditarily predisposed to the addiction. I do feel a sense of empathy for Corey Haim, but I also feel that he did have a choice as far as continuing with his addiction. I know that kicking a habit such as drug addiction is very very difficult, but that is no excuse for quitting. Corey Feldman tried to help his friend, and there will always be the hindsight that will keep you saying “Could I have done more?” He will just have to live with that and come to his own conclusions based on what his conscience tells him. Losing a life is always tragic. You can blame anyone or anything if you give yourself enough time. There is never an easy solution. Corey is in God’s hands now…..
corey. many of us never forgot you guys. whether you know it or not. i named my son after you two WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WATCHING LOST BOYS. NO MATTER WHAT THE HANG UPS ARE, WE ARE ALL STILL HUMAN.
corey, you don’t know but some of us have never forgotten you two. i was pregant when we watched lost boys, and we named our son after you, and corey.we admired you and respected both of you, no matter what your hang ups were. so sorry to hear about corey. we’ll all miss him
Hey Bobby
Youre a jerkoff and Ill tell you why.
Are you telling me that you wont show respect for your mother or father after they drop dead. Of course you would unless you hated them.
This is the same thing.
And
Who said we feel the same pain as his mother. THat can never happen. But that doesnt mean we dont have compassion and heart break for his death and his family.
His death was a loss for all who felt anything for him.
End of story.
I know from experience addiction is a disease, left untreated will take your life, i have been in recovery for 25+ years, at first could not grasp the concept of it being a disease, but after 25+ years of being clean and sober and getting certified in addictions counseling and eventually my masters in Psychology i believe Alcoholism and drug addiction is a disease and we should show the same compassion we would to someone with cancer
“It’s understood that hollywood sells Californication” He should know this best of all!
I have lost at least 15 friends to drugs. Do I feel sorry for them? NO. They decided to take the drugs, in excess, until it killed them. That is what they wanted…to end the pain. So actually I am happy for them…they are now at peace. No more craving, withdrawls, etc. When I used drugs…I did not care if I died…so why should I expect anyone else to care. Let’s get real here. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Corey finally got what he was after.
Hollywood has no time to honor Haim. They’re too busy playing politics and contributing to the demise of this great nation. I don’t understand such disrespect for a country that has given them so much. Chavez, the commie dictator, is a model leader? Really, Mr. Penn? Then move. As for Haim: RIP, and it’s too bad your life was so troubled; you did some fine work. As for Feldman: Please don’t try to use this tragedy to your advantage. As for the author of this article: I beg you, please consult a book on grammar before writing another poorly constructed, seemingly unedited piece.
Alot of ignorant comments…doesnt shock me. Those of you slandering Corey will get yours in the end. This is tragic and sad. Wake up America your country is in such turmoil and the people seem to be blind to the problems. You lock up millions for smoking a joint (which btw has never killed anyone!) and yet you push pills on people and this is the outcome. Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy and now Corey Haim. It is disgusting to see the ignorance of so many. The USA is screwed! You are in tremendous debt and denial. WAKE UP or be prepared to lose what little respect you do have in the world.
I know truth hurts.

IF you were referring to me of course I would mourn my mother I would do anything for her I would trade my life for hers any day of the week!
but if God forbid something were to happen I would be sad but I would mourn and move on she wouldnt want me to be sad for the rest of my life..
Life goes on and there is life after tragedy,death and sadness..
“weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in the morning”
and just to let readers know I am not slandering Corey its just an opinion to other readers who think they should be sad for longer than a day or two…
Everybody needs to stop with the mixed with the should have could have issues. Corey Haims was a child star in the young days and with everything being said he had drug issues that took over his spirit. When that happens the soul is gone forever and you must learn to reconnect again but you are a different person and other people may think you are strange, lost or even dead to them because you are not the samr person they remember. When you need to fight for your life you cannot do it alone you need guidance,love and no matter how the one who is helping you is treated you never abandon them! It is called tough love for a reason. Our young actors and actresses are leaving us to young but why does it take a celebrity to die to see what is happening? It is not the 60′s where you smoke a joint or do some LSD to feel groovy it is life and some people cannot deal with it and find ways to make it better which are the wrong choices. Would you care if the guy next door to you had the same fate??
sorry for your loss of a good friend.cory haim took the road to hell,u jumped off.u have a beautiful family.don’t mess up.haim waited to long and didn’t have a care in the world or care about anybody else,except for his drugs and getting high.I’m sorry the truth hurts.
If everyone paid this much attention to the government and how bad things are in this country, 1% of the US would not control 97% of the wealth. Let’s start a revolution of not reading these sites, making reporters actually report solid, relevant news. Let’s hold the politicians, bankers, and health care companies accountable… Bring back the guillotine and let’s see some heads start to roll.
tough love is very painfull…to have to say “see you when your better”…… Did it to my sis…. God rest her soul….. but as usual’ its the mom or dad that generally suffers the most…If we cant get straight for ourselves,do it for the ones that love us..Lets face it,When were high or drunk,we dont really love anyone……….
Seriously glad he is dead, another washed up never was has been drug addict dead and people suddenly fawning over his rotted corpse! What about all the poor raped girls!?!?!? What about all those that felt raped upon realizing they had paid money to see a movie he was in!?!?!?!? What about all the poor sperm that drizzled down his chin over the years!!!!!????? Good riddance to a creepy Necro-fecalphiliac
Corey in Hell, you are one ****ed up dude. How did you get out of the assylum???
Corey In Hell-
If you die, “GOOD RIDDANCE” less potty mouth person on this earth. Believe me, behind your monitor, you’re no better than those sickening words you spewed about Corey Haim. I believe your words are just “ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS”. Get real.
