Editing Corey Haim (section)

== Personal life ==
During the filming of ''The Lost Boys'',  Haim bonded with [[Corey Feldman]] as they stayed in the hotel watching movies and visited the local arcade.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite magazine|title=Feldman Remembers Corey Haim: 'I Loved Him'|url=http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/03/15/corey-feldman-remembers-corey-haim-i-loved-him|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|date=March 15, 2010|first=Kate|last=Ward|access-date=March 27, 2010}}</ref><ref name="reunited"/> The two became best friends.<ref name="The Story Behind The Lost Boys"/>

Following the release of ''The Lost Boys'', Haim visibly embraced the privileges of his new-found fame,<ref name="Haim Became A Punchline"/><ref name="Corey Haim Obituary"/> becoming a regular at Alphy's Soda Pop Club, a private nightclub for underage actors at the [[Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel]].<ref name="Dating Corey Haim: My First Major Heartbreak">{{cite web|title=Dating Corey Haim: My First Major Heartbreak|author=Irin Carmon|date=March 11, 2010|url=http://jezebel.com/5491151/dating-corey-haim-my-first-major-heartbreak|work=Jezebel|access-date=March 18, 2010}}</ref>

In February 1993, Michael Bass reported to police that Haim had threatened him during an argument. Haim was arrested.<ref name="Corey Haim's Life Mirrored Pop Culture" /><ref name=gun/> According to Haim's publicist at the time, he was shooting BB guns at a target in his backyard while trying to fire Bass, who refused to accept that he was being let go. Initially investigated as a terrorist threat (a [[felony]]), Haim's charge was downgraded to the [[misdemeanor]] of exhibiting a replica handgun in a threatening manner. Feldman posted Haim's $250 bail.<ref name=gun>{{cite web |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1665&dat=19930207&id=2FkaAAAAIBAJ&pg=6645,1498609 |title=Toy Gun Gets Haim Arrested |work=[[The Times]] |date=February 2, 1993 |access-date=April 8, 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=June 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

By late July 2008, Haim had become destitute and homeless in Los Angeles.<ref name=mac/> He was taken in by singer-songwriter [[Gerard McMahon]], who wrote "[[Cry Little Sister]]" for ''The Lost Boys'' soundtrack. They developed an idea for a reality show called ''Lost Boy Found'', documenting Haim's addiction and recovery through music at Mac's studio, where he had been given a place to stay.<ref name=mac/>

Despite their close bond in their early years of fame, Haim and Feldman had a number of disagreements in Haim's later years. Many of these disputes occurred due to Haim's drug use, which was documented in the reality series ''The Two Coreys''. Before his death, Haim reconciled with Feldman off-camera.<ref name=remember>{{cite news |title=Larry King Live Transcript: Remembering Corey Haim |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1003/10/lkl.01.html |publisher=CNN |date=March 10, 2010 |access-date=March 17, 2010}}</ref> The two were spending time together developing a sequel to ''License to Drive'' called ''License to Fly'', a project of Haim's conception.<ref name=remember/>

===Substance abuse===
Haim struggled with substance abuse for most of his life.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-xpm-2010-03-11-sc-ent-0310-obit-corey-haim-20100311-story.html|title=Corey Haim battled addiction for much of his life|work=[[Chicago Tribune]]}}</ref> He was already drinking beer in his early teens on the set of ''Lucas'' in 1985, and a year later, he tried [[marijuana]] on the set of ''The Lost Boys''.<ref name="The Story Behind The Lost Boys"/> Haim asserted that the filming of ''License to Drive'' was his "breaking point" for becoming addicted to drugs.<ref name="reunited"/> On his return from a Hawaiian family vacation in May 1989, Haim told the press that he had been clean for a month after going [[cold turkey]] without the help of a substance-abuse program.<ref name=daily>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=2L8sAAAAIBAJ&pg=7211,2746100&dq=corey+haim&hl=en|title=Haim dreams of drug-free life|work=Wilmington Daily Star|date=March 23, 1989|access-date=June 16, 2010}}{{Dead link|date=June 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref name=anchor>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=bD8eAAAAIBAJ&pg=6060,2731946&dq=corey+haim&hl=en|title=Corey Haim free from drugs for past month|work=Anchorage Daily News|date=March 20, 1989|access-date=June 16, 2010|first=Marilyn|last=Beck}}{{Dead link|date=June 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Fellow ''Lost Boys'' actor [[Brooke McCarter]] began managing Haim in an effort to keep him clean.<ref name=times/><ref name=phillips/> McCarter was dating [[Academy Award|Oscar]]-winning producer [[Julia Phillips]], who termed the assignment "babysitting".<ref name=phillips/> In her [[You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again|memoir]], Phillips recalled Haim's asking her permission to take out her daughter, and the moral conflict she experienced while smoking marijuana in front of him, saying: "Mixed feelings about Corey. Love him. Detest him too, or at least the manipulative part that knew how to make people twice his age snap to. Are you really only eighteen? Who writes your dialogue"?<ref name=phillips>{{cite book | author=Phillips, Julia | title=You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again | location=New York | publisher=Random House | year=1991 | isbn=978-0-394-57574-2| title-link=You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again }} p 618 et seq.</ref>

During the filming of ''Without Malice'' (2000), Haim would reportedly halt production to call Toronto and check if his dog was dead, and sudden medical incidents required the filling of emergency prescriptions.<ref name="regina"/>

By 2001, Haim had sought rehabilitation 15 times for his drug addiction.<ref name="cinema">{{cite web|url=http://www.cinema.com/news/item/5014/corey-haim-in-coma-after-drug-overdose.phtml|title=Corey Haim in coma after drug overdose|date=September 23, 2001|website=Cinema.com|access-date=April 20, 2010}}</ref> He spent time in rehabilitation and was placed on prescription medication, which he began to abuse.<ref name="Corey Feldman Says He Won't Attend Corey Haim's Funeral"/> On August 10, 2001, his mother found him unconscious at his Los Angeles bungalow.<ref name="cinema"/> He was rushed to the [[Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center|UCLA Medical Center]] where doctors managed to stabilize him. Two weeks earlier, from July 23, 2001, Haim had spent some time in [[Sherman Oaks Hospital]].<ref name=cinema/>

Feldman said of Haim: "He made so many attempts at suicide. He's ODd so many times. I mean, I can't begin to tell you, having him foaming at the mouth, coming downstairs and finding him that way and drooling and not able to speak, and me, having to put charcoal down his throat so that he could breathe."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.etonline.com/news/2010/03/84899/index.html|title=Corey Feldman on Corey Haim's death: I don't think it was suicide|first=Allison|last=Kugel|work=ET Online|access-date=July 19, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100819013515/http://www.etonline.com/news/2010/03/84899/index.html|archive-date=August 19, 2010}}</ref>

Haim stated that at one point, he did not leave his apartment for three and a half years and ballooned from 150 to 302 pounds.<ref name="reunited"/> By 2004, Haim appeared to have overcome his drug habit after his mother persuaded him to return to Toronto with her and resettle there.<ref name="Corey Haim Obituary"/>

Feldman vowed that he would no longer speak to Haim until he got clean.<ref name="Former Teen Stars Confront Corey Haim About Drug Use"/> On ''The Two Coreys'', Feldman and his wife, along with two other former teen stars, called on Haim in an effort to get him to admit he needed help.<ref name="Former Teen Stars Confront Corey Haim About Drug Use"/> Feldman added that he did not consider Haim to be "a safe person to have around my wife and child at the moment".<ref name=dukecnn/> After his falling-out with Feldman, Haim had a car accident while under the influence and walked out for good on the show's therapist.<ref>{{cite web|title=Crashing Cars And Flushing Drugs: The Two Coreys Season Finale|url=http://www.defamer.com.au/tags/the-two-coreys|date=August 10, 2008|work=[[Gawker Media|Defamer]]|access-date=March 23, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090530082323/http://www.defamer.com.au/tags/the-two-coreys|archive-date=May 30, 2009}}</ref> Publicly severing his ties with Haim, Feldman stated: "I am not going to watch him destroy himself."<ref name=rottenberg/>

On the advice of his lawyer, Haim went to a physician in California with the goal of sticking to a program to wean off pills without multiple doctors in order to demonstrate that he was working toward getting clean.<ref name=behar>{{cite news|title=Transcript of The Joy Behar Show: Interview with Corey Haim's Agent|url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1003/17/joy.01.html|publisher=CNN|date=March 17, 2010|access-date=March 29, 2010}}</ref> Haim's agent stated that the doctor was reluctant to drop Haim from his current level to zero pills, fearing a seizure, and took him to an addiction specialist to get mental help.<ref name=behar/>

===Relationships===
Haim never married nor had any children.

===Claims of abuse===
In an episode of ''The Two Coreys'', Haim told Feldman that he had been [[child sexual abuse|sexually abused]] at the age of 14 by one of Feldman's acquaintances.<ref name="Feldman2013"/> Declining to identify his molester (a 42-year-old man), Haim said that the abuse had continued for two years with Feldman's knowledge.<ref name=secrets/> This disclosure led to a further rift between Haim and Feldman, and the show continued to expose the darker side of their lives as teen stars.<ref name=secrets/>

In 2011, after Haim's death, Feldman stated that a "Hollywood mogul" who abused Haim was to blame for his death.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/21/corey-feldman-sexual-abuse_n_4136524.html|work=Huffington Post|first=Cavan|last=Sieczkowski|title=Corey Feldman Details Horrific Sexual Abuse In New Memoir|date=October 21, 2013}}</ref> Feldman's 2013 memoir, ''Coreyography'', stated that he and Haim suffered sexual abuse as young actors in the film industry. Feldman stated that during the filming of ''Lucas'', Haim "had been tricked into engaging in a painful session of anal sex by a man on the movie set. The man told Haim that sex between men and boys was normal in Hollywood". Feldman reported that after this experience, Haim suggested that he and Feldman engage in sexual relations, and Feldman declined.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://guardianlv.com/2013/10/child-stars-and-pedophiles-an-epidemic-in-hollywood|title=Child Stars and Pedophiles-an Epidemic in Hollywood|date=October 21, 2013|publisher=Guardian Liberty Voice}}</ref>

In a 2017 interview from the ''[[National Enquirer]]'', actor Dominick Brascia alleged that [[Charlie Sheen]] was the person who had raped Haim on the set of ''Lucas''.

In March 2020, Feldman's documentary, ''[[My Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys]]'', was released. Feldman alleged that Sheen had raped Haim and added that Haim had described the incident in graphic detail. These claims were backed up in the documentary by [[Jamison Newlander]], Haim's friend and co-star in ''The Lost Boys'', and Feldman's ex-wife Susie Sprague. Feldman accused Brascia of having sexually abused Haim as well. Feldman also spoke out against Judy Haim's attacks on his credibility.<ref>{{cite magazine | last=Chan | first=Tim | title=Corey Feldman Names Alleged Abusers in Long-Awaited Film| url=https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/corey-feldman-documentary-names-revelations-964789/ | magazine=Rolling Stone| date=March 10, 2020| access-date=March 11, 2020 |quote="This wasn't like a one time thing he said in passing.
