A new video featuring actor Corey Feldman has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, as he alleges that the late legendary journalist Barbara Walters played a role as an elite “handler” within the entertainment industry. Known for his outspoken nature and advocacy against abuse in Hollywood, Feldman’s latest claims have sparked a flurry of discussions online, leaving fans and critics questioning the hidden power dynamics of the industry.
The Shocking Allegation
In the video, Feldman recounts a 2013 interview with Barbara Walters on The View, where he first attempted to expose the abuse he and others endured as child stars. Walters’ response, which many perceived as dismissive at the time, resurfaces in a new light with Feldman’s current claims. He suggests Walters’ reaction wasn’t just skepticism but an intentional attempt to discredit him.
“She wasn’t just asking questions; she was protecting someone—or something,” Feldman alleges in the video. He further claims that Walters may have been part of a larger system designed to silence voices like his, comparing her role to that of a “handler” who shields powerful figures from scrutiny.
What Is a ‘Handler’?
In conspiracy theory circles, a “handler” is believed to be someone who manages or manipulates individuals to maintain control over sensitive information or narratives, particularly within elite circles. Feldman’s assertion that Walters played such a role has reignited debates about the hidden forces at play in Hollywood and the media.
Social Media Explodes
As expected, the video has gone viral, with #CoreyFeldman and #BarbaraWalters trending on platforms like Twitter and TikTok.
“Corey Feldman is exposing Hollywood again, and this time it’s Barbara Walters. This is wild!” one user tweeted.
Others were more skeptical, questioning Feldman’s motives and timing. “Why bring this up now? Barbara Walters isn’t here to defend herself,” another commenter noted.
Feldman’s Track Record of Exposing Abuse
Corey Feldman has long been a vocal critic of Hollywood’s darker side. In his 2020 documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys, he detailed the abuse he and his late friend Corey Haim experienced as child actors. While his revelations have been met with both support and controversy, Feldman remains undeterred in his quest to expose what he calls Hollywood’s “pedophile ring.”
Barbara Walters’ Legacy Under Scrutiny
Barbara Walters, who passed away in 2022, was a trailblazer in journalism, known for her groundbreaking interviews with world leaders and celebrities. Her career spanned decades, earning her widespread respect and accolades. Feldman’s allegations, however, cast a shadow over her legacy, raising uncomfortable questions about her role in silencing voices.
Industry Reaction
Hollywood insiders have largely remained silent on Feldman’s claims, but some have expressed doubt. One unnamed journalist told a media outlet, “Barbara Walters was a tough interviewer, not a conspirator. This feels like a reach.”
Others, however, believe Feldman’s allegations merit further investigation, given the industry’s history of covering up abuse.
Conclusion
Corey Feldman’s allegation that Barbara Walters was an elite “handler” has reignited discussions about power and control in Hollywood. Whether his claims are grounded in fact or speculative, they have once again shone a light on the need for transparency and accountability in the entertainment industry.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Corey Feldman remains one of Hollywood’s most polarizing figures, unafraid to challenge the status quo, even when it involves icons like Barbara Walters.
