former child star Elijah Wood says
Hollywood has a seedy underbelly of
child sex abuse and that those
responsible are being protected by the
entertainment industry elite would who's
been acting since he was eight told the
Sunday Times there are a lot of Vipers
in this industry people who only have
their own interests in mind would
compared the unnamed abusers to the
British DJ Jimmy Savile who faced dozens
of accusations of rape and assault
spanning more than four decades those
claims were largely swept under the rug
until after Savile's death it's
important to note that Woods claims are
unsubstantiated but other child stars
from the same era have made similar
accusations in the past
in 2011 Corey Feldman said he and other
child stars in the 80s were abused by
people with a lot of power in the
entertainment industry I can tell you
that the number one problem in Hollywood
was and is and always will be pedophilia
there was a circle of older men that
surrounded themselves around this group
of kids declining to give specifics
Feldman said a Hollywood executive is
directly responsible for the drug and
alcohol problems that contributed to the
death of his friend and fellow child
star Corey Haim Wood said he was lucky
to have a mom who protected him from
abuse but added I've been led down dark
paths to realize that these things
probably are still happening for newsy
