'Rape of 2 Coreys': Corey Feldman says hackers tried to stop film from airing, tells viewers to 'be patient'
Nearly an hour after Corey Feldman's much-anticipated documentary was set to air on mytruthdoc.com, the actor, on the website, confirmed hacking attempts being made. The actor asked his fans and viewers to be patient, saying hackers were attempting to prevent the film from streaming.
The website's login page states: "Please be patient. The hackers are trying to prevent the stream from airing. The program will begin momentarily. We appreciate your patience and support!"
Feldman, minutes after his much-anticipated film was set to air, had said the documentary will air 15 minutes later than scheduled time because the website crashed. The actor, after dozens of user complaints on the micro-blogging site, took to Twitter, saying: "THE FILM IS STARTING 15 MIN LATE DUE 2 THE WEBSITE CRASHING! WHICH IS ACTUALLLY A GOOD THING! SO #STAYTUNED."
Feldman also posted a picture of himself from a theatre where hundreds of people could be seen sitting behind him, appearing to be all set to watch the film, which was scheduled to air at 11 pm EDT on Monday.
It was also revealed earlier on Monday that the actor is watching the film from a secret location along with his wife and will conduct a Twitter live after the film is aired.
Feldman is set to star in the documentary, titled 'My Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys', where he will detail the alleged abuse he and his late friend and actor Corey Haim suffered at the hands of prominent Hollywood stars when they were children.
Feldman, in a recent live video on Twitter, said his allegations against Hollywood celebrities have led him to live in fear. The 48-year-old actor said: "There are things you have to do for insurance reasons when you’re putting out something like this. This is very, very dangerous stuff and it’s very risky stuff. You know we have to have 24-hour armed security, we don’t know what’s gonna happen."
