«Breaking News» Corey Feldman admits he can no longer defend Michael Jackson amid allegations in Leaving Neverland

Corey Feldman has been very open over the years about being a sexual abuse survivor and a friend of Michael Jackson when he was a young boy.

Now, just days after appearing to defend the king of pop on a string of tweets, the former child star has had a change of heart regarding the molestation allegations made against the King of Pop in the scathing documentary, Leaving Neverland. 

'I can not in good consciousness defend anyone who’s being accused of such horrendous things,' the now 47-year old confessed about Jackson in an interview with CNN's Headline News.

'But at the same time, I'm also not here to judge him, because again, he did not do those things to me and that was not my experience.' 

Emotional time: Corey Feldman clarified tweets that appeared to defend Michael Jackson regarding the molestation allegations made in the documentary, Leaving Neverland

The film examined disturbing claims by James Safechuck and Wade Robson that Jackson sexually abused them over a period of several years when they were children. 

Initially, Feldman criticized the documentary, calling it 'one-sided' in a series of tweets on Monday, after the airing of the first part of the documentary.

Then, during Thursday's interview, he had a change of heart of sorts and shared that this has been 'a very emotional time for me, and this is a very emotional process for any survivor of abuse.'

He went on to explain his tweets by asking 'people to put themselves in my shoes.'

'You’re a kid who has endured sexual abuse and during those times, I'm looking to somebody like Michael Jackson as a friend, as a big brother figure. And he was that person to me,' he said. 

'However, as you’re friends with this guy, all of a sudden you start to hear more and more accusations thrown around by various people.'  

Chang of heart: 'I can not in good consciousness defend anyone who’s being accused of such horrendous things,' the former child star admitted during an interview on HLN

Compassion: Feldman confessed: 'It comes to a point where as an advocate for victims...  it becomes impossible for me to remain virtuous and not at least consider what's being said and not listen to what the victims are saying'

'It comes to a point where as an advocate for victims, as an advocate for changing the statutes of limitations to make sure victims' voices are heard, it becomes impossible for me to remain virtuous and not at least consider what's being said and not listen to what the victims are saying,' he said.

'This is very important. We must give them their voice. We must allow them to speak, and therefore we must consider all sides of this, even as uncomfortable as that may be.'  

The former Lost Boys star has claimed the he and friend Corey Haim were sexually abused by people in the entertainment business as minors.

He maintained he reported his molestations to the police in 1993, while they were investigating Jackson for the first time.

'I've never had a shot at justice. I never had a chance to bring my predators to the court system,' Feldman said.

Police looked into the accusations after Feldman filed them in 2017, but the case was dropped due to the expired statute of limitations.

His experience: The 47-year old actor has long maintained that nothing inappropriate ever happened during his time with Jackson as a youngster

During Thursday's interview, Feldman was adamant that nothing inappropriate had ever happened during his time with Jackson as a youngster.

'My place is not to be the judge, and is not to be the accuser, and not to be the defender, he said.

'My job in this is to focus on what's most important, which is helping to reform the statues of limitations in every state, because if we can reform the statutes of limitations we can prevent these things from ever getting to this point.'

Feldman's goal: 'My job in this is to focus on what's most important, which is helping to reform the statues of limitations in every state

Now, just days after appearing to defend the king of pop on a string of tweets, the former child star has had a change of heart regarding the molestation...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
