Victim treatment
There were several tweets noting the ramifications of sexual assault.
Being molested is humiliating & damages your self worth. Guilting victims 4 speaking up - just adds 2 the shame. Corey is a hero 2 many.

Absolutely horrendous what happened to Corey and his young friend Corey Haim. Absolute respect for @Corey_Feldman

prevnext.@Corey_Feldman you're a tough guy for hanging in. Hollywood can no longer treat you like an example of "victims" who fabricate stories.

#MeToo
Others shared that they, too, are victims, standing in solidarity with Feldman.
.@Corey_Feldman I too, am facing my abuser. I was sexually assaulted by John Travolta in 2010. Been silent for 7 years. NO MORE! #MenToo✊?✊?

Same boat. I actually began therapy about 2 months ago to come to terms with the abuse I had. It took me over 25 years...
