Corey Feldman recently reflected on Roger Waters’ behavior and suggested that mental health issues might explain the Pink Floyd co-founder’s controversial statements and actions.
Corey Feldman talks about Roger Waters
During an interview on Get on the Bus, he said, “I don’t know what’s going on with him [Roger Waters] to be honest. It’s very troubling. I mean, you know, I thought we were friends, but then he actually kind of freaked out on me one time and it wasn’t cool. I’m not going to get into that, but like I think he’s a little bit bipolar.”
The actor carried on with the speculation about Waters’ mental state and acknowledged his limitations in making such assessments.
“I mean, I’m not a therapist. I’m not a psychiatrist. I can’t say,” he continued. “But there’s something going on there cuz like sometimes he’s real nice and then sometimes not so nice. So, but I think that’s maybe also just being a genius artist. I don’t know.”
Feldman then addressed Waters’ political statements, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“I think he’s maybe a bit misunderstood, but I definitely don’t like the fact that, you know, he says that he’s for human rights, but then he only gives difference to the Palestinian side and has no love for the Israeli side,” Feldman said.
“I don’t understand how you could be so anti-Nazi and so anti-World War II because your father was killed in World War II and then turn around and have an anti-semitic statement saying, ‘Well, it’s the Israelis versus the Palestinians.’ No. How about we’re all losing lives, we’re all in trouble, there’s pain for everybody, and let’s just try and end it. You know, let’s try and love everyone equally, but let’s not like let’s not counter one side or the other and say they’re the ones that are wrong because now you’re weighing your hat into it and you’re not even in the game. You’re not a Jew, so you have no skin in the game.”
