Elijah Wood is speaking out on the dangers of child abuse hidden within Hollywood. The Telegraph reported that in an interview with the Sunday Times, the Lord of the Rings star expressed that abuse within the industry still exists and is kept under wraps by those with power in Hollywood.

"There are a lot of vipers in this industry, people who only have their own interests in mind," said Wood. The actor, who currently stars alongside Nicolas Cage in The Trust, compared child abuse in Hollywood to the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal in the U.K. where the late entertainment host sexually abused boys and girls without being charged.

"You all grew up with Savile - Jesus, it must have been devastating," said Wood. "There is a darkness in the underbelly - if you can imagine it, it's probably happened."

While child actor Corey Feldman (The Goonies, Gremlins) says he is among those in Hollywood that are victims of abuse, Wood said his mother's efforts to restrict him from attending Hollywood parties at a young age helped him from being caught up in the dangerous side of Hollywood.

"She was far more concerned with raising me to be a good human than facilitating my career," said Wood. "If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed. "People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey."

The Telegraph also reported that Anne Henry - the co-founder of Bizparentz, which provides support to child actors - says that her organization is currently supporting 100 victims of abuse and that a "tsunami" of claims were on the way.

Wood expressed that the issue of abuse continues since victims "can't speak as loudly as people in power."

"That's the tragedy of attempting to reveal what is happening to innocent people," he said. "They can be squashed, but their lives have been irreparably damaged."

It's good that Don Frodo blows the whistle on this infamnia..

But all jokes aside, what a bunch of perverts over there in Tinseltown. That director of the X-men also had a case, but I think it's swept under the rug or something..

There's a doc about this problem called 'An Open Secret'

I read elijah woods article and to be honest he doesn't actually say anything other than theres a lot of shady people in hollywood which could mean a lot of things. He even clarified his statement saying he hadn't observed anything first hand and i think even said he was referring to the film posted above.

Bryan Singer proved he wasn't in the location the accuser said he was molested in or something. There probably are predators in hollywood but i think sensationalism from the press and even advocate groups want to make it out like theres some huge conspiracy going on with hollywood elites.

Friend of the late Corey Haim names alleged molester.

Lot of these media sites have gotten sued(and lost) the past few years so radar is not naming the person or releasing that part of the audio recording



interesting that TMZ, which gets EVERYTHING....literally even medical records, hasn't uncovered this recording or dug int the story...


When the story about Haim allegedly being abused on the set of "Lucas" by a co star who is now a powerful A lister......the obvious name that comes up is Sheen.
