He said he met women at the [[Playboy Mansion]] who had dreams of acting and singing and stated, "I like helping them...to help girls who were kind of lost and needed help to find their way". He described the situation as a "[[360 deal|360]] management, development and production entity." He added that they sought out girls who were 18 who he thought were "virtuous, and honest and loyal". Feldman was asked about a contract shown in the ''Celebrity Wife Swap'' episode and he stated while it was not entirely real, "there are certain rules that we have. That's what they based that contract on." Feldman stated the point of the organization is to see "if we could get in and mold them while they're still young and impressionable, while they're moldable, so to speak, we can help them make the right choices." Feldman denied any allegations the company was degrading to women.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/corey-feldman-explains-coreys-angels-938512/|title= Corey Feldman Explains "Corey's Angels": "They Don't Have to Sleep With Me"|website= The Hollywood Reporter|date= October 14, 2016|access-date= November 5, 2023|archive-date= November 5, 2023|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20231105143108/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/corey-feldman-explains-coreys-angels-938512/|url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/corey-feldman-explains-coreys-angels-938512 |title=Corey Feldman Explains "Corey's Angels": "They Don't Have to Sleep With Me" |website=The Hollywood Reporter |access-date=March 9, 2020 |date=October 14, 2016 |first=Seth |last=Abramovitch |archive-date=March 15, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200315121703/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/corey-feldman-explains-coreys-angels-938512 |url-status=live }}</ref>
