Which named individuals accused by Feldman have publicly responded and what are their statements or legal actions?
Executive summary
Corey Feldman has named several men over years as alleged abusers — most prominently Jon (Cloyd Jon) Grissom, former talent manager Marty Weiss, nightclub owner Alphy Hoffman, actor Charlie Sheen and others — and a subset of those he named have publicly denied the allegations or taken legal steps; reporting shows explicit denials from Charlie Sheen, Marty Weiss, Jon Grissom (per outlets summarizing denials) and at least one other named figure, while other accused men either lack a documented response in the cited coverage or have prior legal histories that complicate public statements [1] [2] [3] [4].
1. Charlie Sheen — categorical denial and prior litigation
When Feldman accused Charlie Sheen in his 2020 documentary of sexually assaulting Corey Haim, Sheen publicly rejected the claim, calling the allegation “sick” and “outlandish,” language reported in People and other outlets, and Sheen has a history of responding aggressively to such claims — previously suing the National Enquirer after similar accusations were published — which the press has cited in coverage of Feldman’s naming of Sheen [4] [3].
2. Marty Weiss — explicit Twitter denial
Marty Weiss, Feldman’s former talent manager whom Feldman named in the documentary and in prior interviews, posted a public denial on Twitter, telling followers that Corey Haim would not “grandstand sex abuse for profit” and calling Feldman’s use of Weiss’s name “horrific,” a direct refutation that is quoted in Entertainment Weekly and other reporting [2].
3. Jon (Cloyd Jon) Grissom — denial reported; prior arrest noted
Reporting documents that Feldman identified actor Cloyd Jon Grissom (credited as Jon Grissom) as one alleged abuser and that Grissom has previously denied Feldman’s claims, according to multiple outlets summarizing responses; coverage also notes Grissom was arrested in 2001 on child molestation charges, a fact raised when Feldman named him on television and said he and Dr. Oz called Los Angeles police during the broadcast [1] [3].
4. Alphy Hoffman — named, but no denial documented in cited coverage
Alphy Hoffman — the nightclub owner Feldman has said ran a spot for underage actors — is consistently named by Feldman in reporting, but the sources provided summarize that Hoffman was accused without documenting a public denial or legal filing by Hoffman in response to Feldman’s 2020 documentary or earlier claims; therefore, these articles do not show a recorded public statement from Hoffman in the cited reporting [3] [4].
5. Other named figures (e.g., Brascia) — denials appear in reporting
At least one other person Feldman linked to Haim’s abuse, identified in coverage as Brascia, has publicly denied the allegation, a denial noted in People and Entertainment Weekly summaries of the documentary’s claims [4] [2].
6. What the reporting does not show — gaps and context
The compiled sources document denials from several of the men Feldman named and note prior legal actions in the broader dispute over allegations (such as Sheen’s earlier lawsuit against the tabloid) but do not include exhaustive, contemporaneous public statements from every person Feldman has accused across a decade of interviews, memoir passages and a feature documentary; where no denial is reported in these sources, that absence should not be read as an admission — it reflects only a gap in the cited reporting [1] [3] [2].
7. Implicit agendas and journalistic friction around Feldman’s claims
Coverage itself flags tensions: outlets recount Weiss’s blunt Twitter rebuttal and Sheen’s forceful denials while also noting Feldman’s long campaign against what he calls Hollywood pedophilia and the contentious reception of his film and public tactics, which critics say sometimes undermine his credibility; several articles frame those denials alongside the accusation that institutions protected alleged abusers, suggesting both reputational defense strategies from the accused and an advocacy narrative from Feldman [2] [5] [3].
