ACTOR Scott Schwartz detailed an incident in which his longtime nemesis Corey Feldman got him kicked out of an event in an exclusive interview with The US Sun.
Scott, 56 – best known for his child star films in the 1980s such as A Christmas Story and The Toy – spoke to The US Sun about the encounter, claiming that Corey, 52, “feared for his safety” in the presence from your ex-friend.

On Sunday, Scott spoke on a Facebook publish about an alleged incident that occurred the day before at a fan expo in Burbank, California, where Corey was hired to sign autographs and Scott was in attendance.
He noted in his post that Corey allegedly ordered one of the event promoters to escort him out of the building because he felt “uncomfortable” being around him, which he complied with.
Scott explained the situation to The US Sun, insisting the move was sudden and that he had not interacted with the Goonies star before being asked to leave.
“He was there signing autographs. And I was just a patron. I came to give things to people who are my friends… So I passed him several times because, think of a catwalk, he was on the right of the catwalk. On the left were Carrie Green, Lee Majors, Lindsay Wagner and Kate Jackson; that’s the only way to get to them.

“I’ve passed by several times. One time, I actually looked at him. Someone kind of bumped into me, and when they bumped into me, my vision improved. And there he is sitting right there. Well, what can I do? I don’t I didn’t say anything, I didn’t make any moves toward him,” Scott said.
He added that Corey’s bodyguard was standing next to The Lost Boys star and did not approach him or signal him to leave.
GETTING THE BOOT
“One of the prosecutors finally says, ‘We have a problem.’ I said, ‘What’s up?’ [He said,] “Feldman is uncomfortable with you being here. He fears for his safety. And you ruined his life. So he wants you to be escorted out of the building,’” Scott recalled.
The Kidco star wasn’t happy with Corey’s response to him being at the event, telling The US Sun: “He’s Corey Feldman, an egomaniac. He’s the man. He just wanted to, you know, if you’ll excuse my French, he just wanted to be an a**k.
Despite being furious about the request, Scott said he kept the peace and quietly left the building, as the event was coming to an end anyway.
“I said, ‘Listen. I’m going to come out the other side. You don’t have to see me. I’m going back to the sales room, where he’s not and everything,'” Scott recalled his initial response.
“And the guy said, ‘Listen, he said if you don’t get escorted out of the building, he’s going to leave, and we prepaid for a certain amount of autographs. So we’re going to lose money if he leaves for any reason.’ ‘” explained the star of Hunters of the Living Dead.
“Okay, these are guys I’ve known for years. So what do you do? You know, you’re not going to piss off people who you’ve known for decades and are friends with. You know, I don’t want them to lose money on this crap,” Scott argued.
Scott then stated that Corey did not reach out to him, nor did he have any communication after the accident; however, an event promoter contacted him.
“One of the promoters I’m friends with, I’m close with, you know, the three guys he called me. He said, ‘Man, I’m sorry. choice.’ I said, ‘I understand.’ You know? There’s no grudge, no, I didn’t like it. You know, when you can lose five figures.
He’s Corey Feldman, an egomaniac. He is the guy. He just wanted to, you know, if you’ll excuse my French, he just wanted to be an idiot.

Scott continued, “But, you know, so, it’s [Corey] Will you contact me? Not at all, as they say, which is a saying I’m sure you’ve heard, he doesn’t have the courage God gave him.
The movie star later admitted that he knew Corey would be at the event, as his name was on the schedule, although it is assumed that the Stand By Me star was unaware that Scott would be attending.
The US Sun reached out to Corey’s representatives for comment but did not hear back.
The US Sun also contacted the event’s promoters, who confirmed that Scott “needed to leave” the venue early and stated that Corey was “in good spirits and got along very well with his fans.”
HOW FEUD STARTED
Scott and Corey’s feud goes back a long way, as the two were friends when they were young actors in Hollywood.
However, things changed, Scott said, when his close friend, Corey Haim, died of pneumonia in March 2010 after years of drug abuse.
Scott revealed that he disagreed with Corey’s lifestyle and the things he allegedly said about Haim after his death, which created tension and drove them further apart.
The former child star claimed the last time she saw Corey was in 2020 at actor Keith Coogan’s birthday party, where they allegedly got into a fight that was broken up by Corey’s bodyguard.
