Last week, former child actor Corey Feldman (Stand by Me, The Goonies) tweeted that he’d been asked for a statement about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual-harassment and rape allegations. It makes sense, since he has spent years speaking out about sexual abuse in Hollywood—not of women, but of young men. He has long alleged that pedophilia is the worst problem in Hollywood and that it’s in part responsible for his best friend Corey Haim’s eventual death by drug overdose.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2016, Feldman said: “[Haim] 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?”
Legal problems stemming from sexual-harassment or -assault allegations are a major issue in Hollywood, and contribute to a culture of silence. Weinstein is alleged to have paid off at least eight of his accusers—on the condition that they agree to strict nondisclosure agreements to prevent their stories from going public. Furthermore, the movie mogul’s employment contract at The Weinstein Company reportedly protected him from being fired because of sexual-harassment allegations.

I never realized the grand scale of how massive pedophilia is amongest elite in every corner of the world. I cannot understand why such a high attraction to molest children. Is it the power of it ? is it the thrill of doing something so taboo , because you've got so much money and power that everything else doesn't hold a candle to it ? Is it the thrill of not being caught ?

I got to think there are a bunch of deviants that are on full pucker waiting to see if the other shoe drops with their little "secrets" coming to light.

Corey Feldman tried to warn people, and Barbara Walters told him he was damaging an entire industry. Wonder if Barbara would have shamed a female rape victim? Something does not add up with Barbara's reaction.
Feldman said he was molested when he was 11 from many different people. This is totally possible. Consider the women who were raped or assaulted by Weinstein did not talk. And even after they "got theirs ($)" with Weinstein, they still didn't call Weinstein out and let him victimize other poor young women.

Money/power keeps this quiet. In other words payoffs with strict non disclosure agreements. But it would seem that one of the brave women who are now so vocal about Weinstein would have spoken out after they were multi millionaires. There is much more here than meets the eye.

In 2007, Vanity Fair magazine published an article "Mad About The Boys"[58] detailing extensive allegations that Pearlman molested some of his charges. Pearlman publicly addressed the allegations in a 2014 prison interview with The Hollywood Reporter magazine, claiming they were unsubstantiated, and that he'd never been accused of such by anyone he'd helped succeed. Vanity Fair, Pearlman claimed, had only interviewed "people that had a grudge."[51] The Hollywood Reporter noted Pearlman's "well-documented track record of robbing his artists blind" and rumours of his predilection for "buff, blond boys in his entourage", while a ten year relationship with a former nurse, Tammie Hilton, remained unconsummated. "He was very religious," Hilton said.[51] However, in a 2009 interview with Howard Stern, the former lead singer of band LFO, Rich Cronin, said that he'd only received a fraction of the money owed to him from record sales, and claimed that Pearlman had "wanted to bang everyone", and had attempted to seduce him multiple times. Cronin also alleged that those who did oblige Pearlman were looked after.

Walters ought to be ashamed.
As should everyone in Hollywood that defended Roman Polanski.
Now they will be out virtue signalling about how outraged they are.
The truth is many people in Hollywood were willing to look the other way on sexual abuse for the sake of their careers, and they should be shamed and called out.

Well tht's how it all begins... As I was beginning to say at the top, you get enough of these fame groupies in there whoring themselves in the executive office for the part, well that alone as a trend would foster the players being used to such a thing. They'd come to EXPECT it. This would grow into a thrill trip. Now that's boring lets go for the little girls. Been there done that for years now well there's still little boys left to try out. Kind of developments.
So now set up the vast majority of Music + TV + Cinema + Porn production in one convenient city, activate the 'fame groupie' dynamic, activate the 'psychopaths tend to be rise to the captains of industry' dynamic, and let the thing play out for a HUNDRED YEARS and watch what happens (by playing that Corey Feldman clip).
