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 -

a family man
-revered by millions
but more importantly
-married
-two children
Robert Downey Jr maybe?
Also an A list actor and I would imagine very powerful. Plus Haim and Downey worked together on the set of Firstborn when Haim was 11 years old. Corey lived with Downey and SJP for almost 2 months ( what was Judy Haim thinking? sadly not the wellbeing of her Son it seems) and wasn't Downey arrested once for being intoxicated while breaking into a neighbours house and passing out on the bed of their 11 year old Son. Who knows what was going through his head if anything? I know these are all facts, whether there all just a coincidence? ..yes most probably, but It's just a theory1354. This is my first post and I feel like a fish
out of water here, so hope my opinion
doesn't cause offenceall the same it
is a thought I've had for a while. I hope I'm wrong in any case. -

It's most definitely Robert Downey Jr.
I wouldn't doubt that Jr. himself was raped as a kid. It would explain why he would rape a young Haim and why he would later become consumed with drugs.
The cold winds are rising. Winter is coming. -

Didn't Feldman talk about the time when Haim lived with Rober Downey Jr. & Sarah Jessica Parker and say it was a happy time of stability in his life?
Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought Feldman said something like that in his book Coreyography. He wouldn't say that if RDJ had abused him. -

Haim himself mentioned living with RDJ and SJP for a couple months. Strangely, he claims he was only 10 at the time (source was Wikipedia so it could be inaccurate). Makes me wonder about the timeline for his abuse claims. He seems to be shaving a couple years off different life events. -

Ive been around since the days of haim trying to sell his teeth, living in his moms basement, obese era, rwality show era and after. From what I remember of the sheen accusations it was more like a stautory rape with a much older (17 or 18 year old) kinda took advantage of haim at 11 who looked at him like an older bro. The one that supposedly screwed haims life up was always said to be a powerful executive not just an actor, who can literally ruin your career. Something more along the lines of the head of a studio.im sure due to his dad sheen was semi powerful as a teen but not enough to have you blackballed.

The one in the blind item happened on the set of Lucas when Corey was 14 and CS would've been 21, I'm not sure where the aged 11 stuff came from (Feldmans book?) but Haim wasn't even in Hollywood aged 11 it would have been 1982 and he was living in Canada and wasn't acting yet

Stanley R. Jaffe was the executive producer on "Firstborn" . Who also was the president of Paramount pictures. Son of Leo Jaffe an American film executive. He was chairman of the board of Columbia Pictures until his retirement in 1981. He is also the brother of film agent Andrea Jaffe. Definitely power there to make or break someone's career.

Stanley R. Jaffe is my guess as well. He was the Producer in First Born, Corey’s first film role. He was also the Producer for Bad News Bears. He was born in 1940, so he would have been in his 40s in the 80s. He was a big film executive and so was his dad (read his Wikipedia). Oddly he was a big time exec but then flip flopped to become an “Independent Producer”. As an exec he could go on any film set as a friend. Interestingly in an interview with Corey done by Bobbie Wyngant, he mentions Stanley Jaffe as the one who gave him his career. This is what got me going down the rabbit hole. The intv is on YouTube. Many children are abused by “friends of the family”; it’s strange this Exec/Producer had a big career and then … nothing.
It’s absolutely not Robert Downey jr, or Rob Reiner.
