Barbara Walters in Hot Water After Clip of Her Discrediting Corey Feldman’s Sexual Assault Claims Resurface

Barbara Walters is getting backlash on the internet after a clip of her on The View from several years ago shows her shutting down actor Corey Feldman when he spoke out about sexual abuse in Hollywood.

In 2013, Feldman appeared on the talk show and spoke out about a powerful person in Hollywood that harmed him and fellow ’80s star, Corey Haim. During the interview, Walters challenged his claim and told Feldman that he was “damaging an entire industry.”

Feldman, 46, took to Twitter earlier this week to post the video. After he shared the clip, a number of users responded to his tweet to offer their support for the actor and to blast Walters.

Other Twitter users spoke out about how they remember the moment the interview aired and their reaction at the time.

Some users are calling for Walters to issue a public apology to Feldman.

This isn’t the first time that Walters has come under fire for defending people accused of sexual misconduct. In 2014, she made headlines for defending Woody Allen amid resurfaced molestation allegations.
