That was there something that triggered you to say Now is the moment.

Now is the time.

Well, what happened, Jenny was we were on tour.

If you remember, we were doing a very successful tour with the Angel band and all that stuff.

We had a 40 billboard hit.

We did the huge today show appearance where there was, like, a 1,000,000,000 you know, views or whatever and everything was going great.

Last thing I needed was this drama, like, literally the last thing I needed because, I mean, I worked my whole, you know, I worked my whole life to get my music career happening.

And then I finally get some top 40 hits.

I finally get riel recognition, were finally selling out, you know, venues all over the country.

And that's when the whole me two things started, and it was like when it landed.

It was like all of a sudden, in literally three days I went up 10,000 followers on Twitter, and everybody kept repeating the same thing.

Now is the time.

Name the names because of the Weinstein forward, The Weinstein happening.

Everybody said Now is the time.

Name the names and I'm going like guys, I'm on tour.

I don't want to be dealing with this right now.

I want to be dealing with my tour because that's what I'm here to.

D'oh!

And it just was so overwhelming and so overpowering.

And then there was a series of events that happened.

It was a three day series of events, but basically what happened was I said, Look, I need to tell the public I'll do something because this is so much demand.

People are crying out.

They want this change.

They want, they want to hear this.

So I said, Here's what I'll do.

I'll come up with a way to speak about this, and from the time that I went on my Twitter page and I said, I'm gonna come up with a way, just give me some time because I'm on tour.

I'll deal with that when I'm out of the tour and over the next three days.

The series of events that took place were I want to say otherworldly and and certainly beyond me in a spiritual realm.

And what I mean by that is we literally went from the first day where I was almost run over by two monster trucks and these people knew this was actually when we were in Houston.

This is when we were in Houston, not for you, but when we were we were in Dallas for you were right, right?

But while we were on tour in Houston, these giant monster trucks.

Okay, so basically, we're sitting in a lobby of a hotel where we had been, you know, we've been in the town doing our show, and we'd done a charity benefit for the flood that had just happened there.

So were, you know, it was the whole Houston strong thing, and we were trying to, like, basically raise money for that.

And so, while we were there, like we did the the appearance, the charity show, and the next night, we were trying to get some dinner, and we're all sitting around lobby, and we've been waiting for an hour in this lobby, and we're in the middle of nowhere and finally, like my wife got frustrated and she's like, I'm going to get food and she kind of storms off, reading everybody in our waiting for an uber uber went, come waiting for a taxi.

Taxi would come.

So that means people knew we were there.

They knew exactly where we were because we were sitting in the lobby for an hour.

So everybody had a read on our location and for some reason, ironically, no taxi and no uber would come, which I found very, very odd.

Okay, so that forced us to walk out into the street.

We told them what restaurant we're going to, so they knew exactly the path that we were going to be on.

Okay.

And as we were crossing that street two giant monster trucks with giant bars of lights on top of the trucks.

I mean, these things were huge, like the kind you see like in the videos where they're like crashing over cars and stuff.

They were that big.

And these two trucks are coming side by side, parallel with each other as we're walking across the street.

And when we left the sidewalk, they were still way far away.

But we have eight of us in a group and we're all walking across.

And as we get to the point where we're at the median, I look over and I'm like, We've still got room, We're still good.

My wife and her girlfriends or the other girls in the band, I should say I got to the other side of the sidewalk safely.

By the time they turned around, we were stuck between the two last lanes.

Me and my security turn on a dime and look at these trucks coming directly at us, and at that moment they definitely saws and we definitely saw them like it's, you know, when you're at that point crossing the street and you look at the driver and the driver sees you and they know they need, But they'd instead of like them slamming on their brakes.

They both accelerated at the same time, both of them so literally.

I was caught between two trucks speeding at me at like 80 miles an hour and not just any trucks but these giant things with stuff sticking out on every side, and somehow it was like literally and I'm not being like, you know, mystical, hear anything.

But, like, truthfully, I felt something.

Touch me and move my body in a way that is not human.

Because I was able to look like the Matrix and Dodge like a spirit guide.

Took my body and move me and, like, literally got me out of harm's way.

And I don't know how it happened.

She expected to turn around and see me splattered all over the Yeah, I just said a prayer, you know, either I'm going to see one of two things.

So I was very grateful, right?

He was OK.

Yeah.

So I've been in crop to my knees after that and said What?

I don't blame you.

The hell does happen.

And then my whole, you know, they say your life flashes before you like I'm just gonna think that But instead of it happening, like right before it happened, it happened right after.

So it was like in the moment I was in the zone, I dodged the trucks and then I jumped.

Okay.

Train, Dodge, Dig it.

You know, from stand by me, I accept this was much more riel.

So reality sets in as to what happens.

Right?

So you want me?

Who's the day?

Cory, When you said they knew we were sitting there for an hour?

Well, meaning that meeting the people at the hotel or whoever they might have been talking Thio So a meaning, like people knew where we were.

It wasn't like God.

Oh, we're just randomly crossing the street.

And just randomly two cars drove by.

It was like we're in the middle of nowhere.

There's no traffic, there's nobody around.

And we're sitting in this lobby for an hour, so it would have been very easy for somebody to call somebody else and go, Hey, I've got Corey Feldman and his crew sitting right here.

What do you want us to do about You know what I'm saying?

So you can put the pieces together, and it would have been easy to do, but you could still say maybe it was a coincidence.

Maybe that they weren't out to get me.

Maybe it was just to random trucks that wanted to kill group of people for no reason.

Okay, we can go with that.

So then the next day, we get shaken down by the police in Louisiana and they try to tell me that I am being pulled over for not having a driver's license, even though I had just rented the bus that were on and paid for it with my own, like driver's license and insurance and all of that stuff that we had to have that to even get the vehicle.

And we'd only left that weeks ago for this leg of the tour.

So I'm like, What are you talking about?

But they're like, No, no, you don't have a license.

So they drag us all into the city or what I would say, city, we're in the middle of nowhere into the leg.

Two lane highway, Middle of nowhere road.

Ah, you know, Police Department.

And they start doing a shakedown and going through all the girls like surgeon.

See, they're all this stuff and they find nothing on me.

But then they're like, Well, you know, we're gonna arrest all these girls and did it at a don.

I'm like, look what for?

Like a little bit of weed that they found literally or like ah, girl would have, like 1/2 of a volume at the bottom of her purse that didn't have a prescription bottle.

And they're arresting them and giving them felonies and trying to ruin their lives over this and I'm like, this seems a bit extreme, guys.

Well, it was all very coincidental, but at the end of the road, the same road that we were on 40 minutes away was the next venue we were supposed to play.

And that venue happened to be the venue owner happened to be a cop.

The sheriff, actually of the town That was the next town over from where we got pulled over.

OK, And we're in a speed trap, by the way, Like 40 miles an hour is owns that switch from 40 to 15 to 40 to 15.

And you're like, uh and that's how we were getting there that day.

So they knew we were supposed to be there.

They knew what time we were supposed to be there.

And everybody knew we had sound check.

And we were gonna be, like, right on time for sound check.

And the whole time they're talking to the venue going, Yeah, it's gonna be a bit later.

Yeah, it's gonna be a bit later.

Well, some of the band goes ahead to the venue, and they said it never looked like there was meant to be a concert there.

They had nothing set up.

They had nothing ready to go.

So what happened was they probably were in the middle of nowhere.

They put their concert on sale.

They didn't get the sails they wanted.

And they said, Sure, we'll sign up for this and they sold me out.

Basically, they shook us down.

They got all of our money.

They lifted all the cash that we had made from the road from that point to bail all these girls out of jail, right?

I got that suck.

And then they put it on the news and said Corey Feldman was arrested for drugs.

A.

I was never arrested.

Be I didn't have any drugs on me.

So these events led you to going, okay, I'm obviously getting signs, right?

And in this third day, third day, and this is where it gets crazy.

We get a call from my manager who says the National Enquirer has called and they've got a story about who raped Corey Haim and they were gonna go forward with that story and they want a quote from you.

Now, they've been trying to talk to me for, like, two years to get me to talk about this story.

And I'm like, I'm not If I'm gonna ever tell the story, I'm certainly not telling it to the National Enquirer.

Okay?

Like you can't tell this story.

We're going to do it the right way, and it's got to be laid out properly, and you've got to put all the evidence and all of the facts and all of the opinions and all that stuff together.

Otherwise, what do you have?

Right?

So that was always the goal was to try to put it together in a cohesive manner.

And, you know, certainly that wasn't the way to do it.

So we said, No, thank you very much.

We're not going to comment on that story.

And next thing you know, this story comes out.

So I just felt it was very odd.

From the time that I said, something has got to be done about this to the next two days, my life has almost taken, were almost imprisoned.

All of this stuff goes on.

And then the third day.

It's like, Oh, by the way, this story is coming out, so I believe it is very much connected.

And at that point I said, Okay, everything I've experienced in my life, I'm Phil, this point from being friends with Michael Jackson from growing up at the Neverland and then going back and forth between Neverland in the Playboy Mansion from, you know, that's my life, right?

Like like growing up on the set of Goonies with With With Steven Spielberg and having the abuse that I had and then being friends with Cory and having him go through the abuse that he went through And then the fact that after he tells me about his awful rape and molestation stories, I start getting molested, too.

Like all of it was just like, Are you kidding me?

It all made sense.

I have experienced everything I've experienced because I was the guy chosen to do this job, period, and I cannot avoid it any longer.

So living a facade and thinking that I could just have a nice, easy, normal artist life and enjoy my life on the road I knew was no longer an option.

I knew that I had to do something a little bit more serious, a little bit more dedicated, and the last thing that I wanted to do, the last thing I wanted to do was give up that tour and go make this documentary.

But in the end, that's what happened.

So I spent the next three years of my life dedicated to spending all the money out of my own pocket.

I had to go do it crappy reality show to where they made me look terrible with my wife, you know?

And it was humiliating.

It was embarrassing, but I did it because we needed the money for the greater good, which was to get this mission accomplished greater good.

So you're able to control the narrative, you know, because I think if you would have went anywhere else, they would have tried to control the narrative, as they did with my percent as they did with the lifetime movie.

You know, that's what they do, you know, they get their Hollywood producing skills on it.

They put their little magic spin on it, and all of a sudden it's a completely different, you know, outcome of what really happened and that's exactly what they would have done.

They would have given a soft serve and they would have let these guys off the hook again.
