Someone needs to check out the episode of his reading with Tyler Henry. Perhaps I missed something that will indicate who it might be. I don’t think I have the episode on my DVR anymore, but I sure got the impression that he was hesitating naming names because it was going to be HUGE !! ---

> [@Stephe96](#): > > Yeah, there appear to be at least two separate incidents being discussed. According to Feldman, one of these occurred on the set of “Lucas.” (Look at the cast and draw your own conclusions). Jeremy Piven? While never married, he did have a large role in the film _The Family Man_. Coincidence? Former girlfriends have called him “creepy” and he shows up on many of the “who diddled the Coreys?” suspect lists. ---

Former girlfriends have called him “creepy” and he shows up on many of the “who diddled the Coreys?” suspect lists. I don’t think he fits the “powerful” or “revered” or even “household name” categories. Actually, I’m not sure _anyone_ from the **Lucas** cast would fit. ---

Jeremy Piven’s only six years older than Feldman; that sort of allegation would be ridiculous. Charlie Sheen is the same age as Piven. It’s probably not an actor but someone behind the scenes, like a producer or script supervisor who’s well-known in Hollywood circles but not so much by the public at large. (Unless it’s David Seltzer himself…) Frankly, my initial thought was that it must be [Lou Pearlman,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Pearlman) but apparently he died last month. Had no idea. ---

Maybe Martin Sheen? He could’ve been on set for Lucas. ---

I am _ **NOT** _ defending anyone, but if whomever named actually committed the assaults, then why is the fear of legal reprisal? I understand that the accused’s inner circle would certainly circle the wagons and use a ton of resources to discredit, but if there is proof (or what would pass as proof in this case), then why the reticence? It’s not like anyone’s beating down doors to hire Feldman for anything… ---

What’s going on here? The confusion is coming from the fact that there are multiple incidents and suspects. Feldman claims that both him and Haim were molested by multiple people. Supposedly one of the suspects was working with Haim on Lucas. Many sites make the obvious connection. However it seems that even if Feldman names him it just hearsay. It’s something Feldman claims Haim told him. Feldman believed his friend but has no direct knowledge of what happened. Now if Feldman names who assaulted him then that’s direct testimony and more likely to be true. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > I’m dense…maybe dumb. > > Are we all suggesting Charlie Sheen is the bad guy? Or is it supposed to be Martin Sheen? Well, Charlie is far and away the most popular guess, with some even pointing out that Sheen’s public meltdown/flameout coincided with Haim’s death in 2010. Feldman is on record saying that Haim never fully recovered from working with Sheen. BUT…Charlie would hardly be described as a “family man,” nor does it seem he was ever all that “powerful.” Martin Sheen doesn’t seem to fit all the clues, either. I have no clue who it is. ---
