  • #15: Corey Feldman & Corey Haim

    Corey Feldman (Gremlins, The Goonies, Stand By Me, etc.) and Corey Haim (Lucas, Silver Bullet, The Lost Boys, License to Drive) were child actors from the 80’s, and best friends.  As children, they were both sexually abused by adult men in Hollywood, like Marty Weiss and Charlie Sheen.

    Both Coreys struggled with drug addiction and after Corey Haim’s death, Corey Feldman has spoken out and started naming their abusers.

    Who’s who:

    Sheila (Feldman’s Mom)
    Bob (Feldman’s Dad)
    Judy (Haim’s mom)
    Ron Crimson/Jon Grissom (Bob Feldman’s assistant who abused Feldman)
    Marty Weiss (child talent manager/Feldman’s temporary on-set guardian/abused both Feldman & Haim)
    Tony Burnham (actor who molested Haim)/ Possibly Dominick Brascia
    Ralph & Bill Kaufman (club owners/Alphy & Bob Hoffman)
    Vanessa (Feldman’s first wife)
    Susie (Susan Sprague/Feldman’s second wife)

  • #14: Baby Groupies & Cradle-Robbing Rockstars

    14 year old Lori Mattix lost her virginity to David Bowie and had a 2 year relationship with Jimmy Page (during which he kidnapped her).  Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith, started dating a 16 year old girl and convinced her mother to give him guardianship over her, and then he impregnated and forced her to get an abortion.  Elvis was known to have sleepovers with teenage girls, and started dating Priscilla when she was only 14 years old.

    These "rock gods" knew what they were doing was wrong.  How did they get away with it?

  • #12: Charlize Theron

    Charlize Theron is one of the highest paid actresses in the world and was named as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.  Though her beauty and talent is overwhelming, her life wasn't always all glitz and glamour.

    Charlize's childhood was a dark time and her family suffered a terrible tragedy when she was just 15 years old.  The details of her early life truly make you wonder how someone could grow up to be so successful and poised.

    R. Kelly is known as the King of R&B and for the person responsible for launching Aaliyah's career.  Throughout his career, multiple women have come out with accusations of sexual assault.  Most of these women claim that R. Kelly abused them when they were underage.

    Though he was acquitted in 2008, more women (and now, a man, as well) have come forward, and many who have worked closely with him have told their own stories, corroborating the allegations.
    So what's fact and what's fiction?  We'll find out!

  • #08: Brittany Murphy Part 2

    Part 2 dives into the evidence, autopsy, and theories.

    Brittany Murphy died at just 32 years old under mysterious circumstances.  Her cause of death was determined to be pneumonia and anemia, as well as drug overdose.  Interestingly, her husband Simon died of the exact same causes only 5 months later.

  • #06: Kurt Cobain
    Kurt Cobain was the lead singer and songwriter for the 90's grunge band, Nirvana.  Kurt's death in 1994 was ruled a suicide, but many believe it should've been investigated for homicide.  Many also theorize that Kurt's wife, Courtney Love, may have somehow been responsible.
    In today's episode, I take a deep dive into Kurt's life and career and explore whether or not Kurt was suicidal.  I also explore another mysterious death of someone Courtney was close to, which occurred just two months after Kurt's death.  Could these be related?
