Thanks, I can see the info in the article but I just don't understand where they got it from, it's not in any of the statements they quoted from 'the source' and I can't find it in Radars original article

I could be wrong on exact ages its been awhile. But i read all this on these boards. There were people claiming to be friends of corey haim and kind of implied they did drugs with him and he owed them money which is why they were spilling stuff he told them on the boards. They were telling stuff about the 2 coreys season 2 before it even aired and no one really took them seriously until everything they told started happening months later on the show. At was at the very least someone involved in the show. They were saying they did drugs with haim and he owed them money and he knew how to stop it. Then haims mom judy started coming here going nuts on them, ersaing their posts as quickly as they were put up. But they were the first to say allegedly haim tod them sheen had sex with him on the set of lucas but he was also bi sexual and it was more of 470he felt taken advantage of. They were threatening to tell a lot and did but its kinda all fuzzy now.

he's from a family of famous actors, he is seen with his kids,.
A "family man" is not a man who comes from any particular family (because for one thing, who
doesn't
have a family?). A family man is a man who takes his responsibilities as a husband & a father quite seriously.
Dominick Brascia has just been outed by Corey Haim's
ACTUAL
friend, Greg Harrison, as the abuser whom Haim had been referring to on
The 2 Coreys
, so I wouldn't take anyth1c84ing he says about who raped Haim seriously.
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who? -

Yes but like I said, I think radar may be carefully twisting words (perhaps the meaning of things like 'family man' ) They're not gonna come out and say something obvious such as:
Which winning! HIV positive, 80s/sitcom star molested Corey Haim on the set of Lucas? You have two and half guesses to get it right
'
what would be the point of posting it as a blind item? everyone would know who it was straight away, Radar are exploitative and want readers to make all kinds of speculation, there have also been quite a few articles about CS hanging with his kids and wanting his kids to be proud of him from the last few months
I know all about Brascia and his involvement with both the Corey's, he's a total creep but this has nothing to do with me personally taking him seriously because I'm pretty sure he's one of the people tipping off Radar and they obviously
have
taken it seriously.
DB has pointed the finger at Sheen before (and I definitely think it could've happened like he says) but He is probably doing this now to take the heat off himself, since he was the allegedly the abuser Haim was talking about on the reality show and also the guy mentioned in Feldman's book -
Lets_talk_about_that — 9 years ago(September 25, 2016 08:51 AM)
I believe it is Charlie Sheen.
Feldman has been telling us it's Sheen all along. If he didn't want people to think Charlie Sheen, he wouldn't have mentioned "Lucas." He would've just said "on a film set early in his career," but not named the film. He knew that everyone would think Charlie Sheen when he mentioned Lucas. And with his quote about Charlie Sheen and the "early experiences" that Corey Haim tried to recover from for the rest of his lifeit's obvious who did this thing. Corey Feldman is saying who it is with these clues. It's only very dense people who aren't receiving what he is saying.
The Radar Online article is the original article and the only one that people should be looking at for new info. The "family man" BS is just to make the story seem more scandalous and create a buzz. They're a gossip rag, that's what they do.
Dominick Brascia - if you look at his Twitter - has a Go Fund Me right now so that he can make enough money to move to the East Coast for a new radio job. He can't afford it and he's trying to raise money for the move. I'm sure that's why he's selling stories about Haim. -

Are you a Feldman fan? I can't see any other reason to believe this petty little worm. Feldman goes on record as saying he doesn't like Charlie Sheen and then insinuates that Sheen was a pedo rapist. Don't get me wrong, I really can't stand Charlie Sheen, but accusing him of child rape because of Corey Feldman? No way. Feldman has proven himself to be petty, conniving and manipulative over and over again.
As much as I hate Charlie Sheen, I don't think it's him. I can't see it being Downey jr. either, he just wasn't that big at the time. I don't think even now with his Ironman fame he has the clout to derail anyone's career.
When I think Hollywood bigwig, household name, family man, revered by millions, with clout to make or ruin careersvery few people fit that criteria. Spielberg, Ron Howard, Rob Reiner, those are the type of names I think fit the criteria. I'm not accusing any of these guys, just pointing out that this is the type of person being described.
ETA: After looking at a few things, it appears Rob Reiner would be a likely suspect. He fits the criteria and Haim's wiki says that he auditioned at Reiner's house and got River Phoenix's part in Stand By Me but turned it down for Lucas. -
kaydie-fee — 9 years ago(September 25, 2016 03:43 PM)
Is Rob Reiner really that all known though or revered around the world today? Is he one of the most recognisable faces in the industry? I wouldn't notice him if I passed him on the street - he's not really a 'Superstar actor' either

I guess it depends on your age. I'm 48, I grew up on All in the Family, and Rob Reiner has been bigtime for as long as I can remember. His dad is Carl Reiner, another household Hollywood name, depending on your age. This guy definitely would qualify as Hollywood mogul. -

Based on an article I read in Variety, River Phoenix got the part almost as soon as he auditioned. I really can't picture Phoenix being second choice behind Haim, anyway.
Reiner was more of an up-and-coming director when he did Stand by Me; I think you might be overestimating the level of power/influence he had at the time Haim was allegedly first raped (~1985-6).
Oh and Feldman was a complete bully on the set.

With names like Charlie Sheen and Robert Downey jr being thrown around? Not overestimating at all. Regardless of his directing credentials at the time, he was still Carl Reiner's son and a household name due to All in the Family. I'd surmise he was well connected even then, considering the jump from sitcom actor to movie director/producer. -

I agree that Sheen and Downey weren't huge power players, either. When I think of career making/breaking people in Hollywood, I think of producers and well established directors, but rarely actors.
The claims about Haim's first rape are confusing. Is Feldman the
only
one saying that Haim was raped before Brascia? Was the rapist an A-lister when he raped Haim or did he achieve that status years later?
I don't feel comfortable with all of the online speculation over the identity of Haim's rapist. Raping a child is a life destroying act but being falsely accused of raping a child can destroy innocent lives, too. Personally, I hope it isn't Reiner. I know a few people who have worked with him, and they have only good things to say. -

All the recent articles, that led me here to begin with, are talking about a Hollywood bigwig, a-lister, family man leading a double life. None of this describes Brascia, or Sheen for that matter.

I watched The Two C111coreys for the train wreck appeal. I couldn't stand either one of these guys growing up and wanted to laugh at their failure. But when they started talking about being molested and surrounded by pedophiles so powerful that no one will name them, I felt really bad about hating them and wanted these sickos brought to justice. -

You mean that blind item on radar online? Brascia is the source for that blind I'm sure, according to Haim's friend, Brascia tipped off the enquirer and another detective:
I am still only speculating that they made him this deal and offered him money to confirm another name of an alleged abuser in Hollywood that Feldman seems to be after.
Brascia has been pointing his finger at Sheen for years, Feldman badmouthed Sheen:
but Charlie in particular, especially the way that he's affected other people that I know point blank, Charlie and Corey started their careers pretty much together, and Corey fought for his entire life to recover from those early experiences and to get his life together- that's pretty damning
The incident happened on location at a school in Chicago whilst filming 'Lucas' - isn't it more likely it was someone working on 'Lucas?' why would a Hollywood big shot go all the way to Chicago to hang out on a low budget movie set?
- that's pretty damning

Brascia himself is one of the people feeding stories to TMZ/RADAR/ whatever. I hope the bigwig pedophile (if he exists) is named, too. However,
innocent
lives and reputations should not be destroyed by people speculating on internet gossip sites. This isn't a game. Feldman needs to name names; otherwise, he could be doing more harm than good. -

Lol, new to the interwebs? Lives and reputations don't get destroyed by message board discussion. If someone gets outed, it will be because the story was vetted and the media can confidently print the name. If there is nothing to this story, it will go away. But it appears this is just the beginning with more to come. We'll see. I just re-read the radaronline article and it says their info has been confirmed by dozens of sources. Sheen and Haim may very well have had sex, but at 21 y/o, there is no way Sheen was the kingpin of a pedophilia ring. These stories are not about him. -

At the very least, reputations are tarnished. Public image is incredibly important in the entertainment industry. Lawyers went after a particular "blind" gossip website a few years and forced its owner to admit he fabricated most of its content. People in Hollywood were paying attention to what was being written online and didn't appreciate being libeled. -

Apparently Haim himself said he was offered Phoenix's role in Stand by Me. It was from an interview with Larry King back in 2007.
HAIM: I had a movie I really wanted to do. And we were just talking about being competitive in "License to Drive" and what have you. And (UNINTELLIGIBLE), you know, from Steven Spielberg, there's a few things I wanted to do, which the personal divergence and "Lucas," I had gotten the part in "Stand by Me" and the part in "Lucas" in the same day. So I was actually eating lunch in Rob Reiner's backyard with him. And I read for rest in peace, River Phoenix's part, got it and
