"I'm sorry if it's not good enough for you, but you don't have to beat us up."
Corey Feldman's performance of "Go 4 It," off his fifth album, Angelic 2 the Core, on The Today Show went viral after it aired on Friday (September 16). And while he could have been pleased by the spread of his new song, the public's negative reviews and continuous teasing regarding the performance has got Corey really down. He was so upset by the world's reaction to the performance that he hopped on Facebook Live to express his feelings.
Although the video has since been taken down, People revealed some of the statements the former '80s heartthrob made and cried about.
"We just wanted to tell everybody that, like, it's been really painful," he said in the clip. "We put ourselves out there and we did the best that we could. And, like, I've never had such mean things said about me. Like constantly."
He also added, "All we can say is that we tried really hard. Because we love our fans and we just wanted to give them the best show that we could. But we don't deserve ... these things that are said about us are awful."
And while people have the right to their opinions, he felt that many went too far.
"It was a song, okay? It wasn't that weird," he said. "I'm sorry if it's not good enough for you, but you don't have to beat us up. I just want to say that, like, why is it okay to, like, publicly shame us? ... I don't understand ... It's, like, not PC to, like, say somebody is fat or somebody is white or somebody is black or somebody is yellow or green or if they have a short leg or if they have a missing finger. Like we can't talk about these things. But it's okay to bash Corey Feldman and the Angels."
He did get some love from Pink.
