On Thursday, Corey Feldman appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, naming one of the men he says sexually assaulted him for the first time.
Feldman alleged that actor John Grissom molested him when he was a child actor in Hollywood in the 1980s. Grissom appeared in two ’80s movies starring Feldman, License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream. This was the first time Feldman publicly named any of the men who he says molested him.

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

.@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…

I’m a victim myself, I stand with Corey and millions around the world who also abused! Where is the celebrity backing? Use your status!!
