Judy Haim - the mom of Lost Boys star Corey Haim - has defended her son over sexual assault allegations.
Haim's co-star, Corey Feldman, has recently alleged that he was 'molested' by Haim when they were filming the 1987 movie.
Feldman made the claims in a new documentary, Corey Feldman vs. The World, where he spoke about their time making the film.

Judy has since slammed the allegation, telling TMZ that the claims were 'another lie to poison people’s heads and keep [himself] relevant'.
Haim died in 2010 from pneumonia at the age of 38.
Speaking in the doc, Feldman said: “When we did Lost Boys Corey said to me, 'Hey man, let’s mess around'. And I said, 'What do you mean?'”
Feldman went on to claim that Haim said: “'This is what, you know, what guys in the business do, right? You know, you suck each other’s d***s, or you f**k around, you do this stuff.' And I said, 'What are you talking about?' And he said, 'Well, Charlie [Sheen] told me it was OK.'”
Sheen has since denied the allegations and his rep told People in 2020: “These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred. Period.”
They added: “I would urge everyone to consider the source and read what his mother Judy Haim has to say.”
Feldman continued to claim: “I called [Haim] and said, 'Come over.' But you know, when you have got somebody that’s trying to come onto you sexually, and you don’t want that, and you are a kid, and you are scared, you do whatever you can to stop it from happening. And that’s what was happening. I was being molested by Corey Haim. Truth be told.”
Of the allegations, Judy said: “Corey Feldman always talks about sex and blames my kid for things that he is not here to defend himself about.”
She added that her son was never alone during filming and that a family member was always present.
“Why would they be friends for so long if this happened? It doesn’t add up,” she added.
Feldman has previously claimed that he and Haim were both sexually assaulted during their careers.
He has in the past accused Sheen of sexually assaulting Haim while filming Lucas.
Sheen denied the allegations, while Judy told Entertainment Tonight in 2017: “My son never mentioned Charlie. We never talked about Charlie. It was all made up.
“If my son was here to hear all of this, he would throw up.”
UNILAD has reached out to Feldman's rep for comment, as well as Sheen's.
