In this first part of a two-part episode, I sit down with Margot Lane and Mara Moon; two former bandmates of Corey Feldman who were part of his group, 'Corey's Angels'. Both women were subjects of the documentary film Corey Feldman vs. The World, directed by Marcie Hume, whom I interviewed in a previous episode.

Margot and Mara share how they were each drawn into Feldman's world,  lured by promises of a music career, financial stability, and a fresh start, and what they found once they arrived. From body shaming and food restriction to controlled movement and psychological manipulation, their stories reveal a deeply troubling pattern that will be familiar to anyone who has studied or experienced coercive control.

I also address the apparent PR campaign working to silence those who speak out...  and explain why silencing people almost always has the opposite effect.

This is Part 1. Part 2 drops next week.

Watch Corey Feldman vs. The World before listening — it will make this conversation much more meaningful.
