Summary

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

In this episode, we’re joined by Margot Lane and Jezebel Sweet, former members of Corey’s Angels, the all‑female band and “angel” entourage formed and led by actor and musician Corey Feldman. Drawing on their experience, partially shown in the new documentary COREY FELDMAN VS. THE WORLD—a cinéma vérité chronicle of Corey’s attempt to reboot his career—they describe what it’s like to have the camera rolling long after the performance ends, how it felt to be inside the Corey’s Angels brand while he negotiated the cost of childhood fame in real time, and what they see now that they’re on the other side of that project.

They talk about how what looked like a quirky Hollywood comeback vehicle came with an intense image regime, tight control over their time and presentation, and a blurry line between artistic collaboration and life inside Corey’s carefully curated universe. They also unpack the power dynamics of working for a controlling boss, the emotional whiplash of loyalty, doubt, and disenchantment, and in Part 2, we chat more about what it’s taken to reclaim their own narratives, music, and creative futures outside Corey’s orbit.

You can watch Corey Feldman Vs. The World on Apple TV, YouTube, and Google Play. Also follow Margot Lane at margotlane.com and on Facebook and Instagram @musicismargot. Follow Jezebel Sweet at JezebelSweet.com, on Instagram & YouTube @JezebelSweet, and her doc commentary on YouTube.com/@JezebelSweetSpeaks.

Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of emotional manipulation and controlling dynamics, objectification of women, abuse, drugging and rape, and mental health struggles.
