Actor Haley Joel Osment was arrested in Mammoth Lakes, California, on charges of public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance. Bodycam footage shows him using antisemitic slurs and calling an officer a "Nazi."
Osment released a statement through People magazine expressing deep regret for his actions, attributing his behavior to "loss and displacement" following a wildfire that destroyed his family's home. He stated, "I’m absolutely horrified by my behavior. Had I known I used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout, I would have spoken up sooner."
He explicitly apologized to the Jewish community, acknowledging the severity of his words and stating his intention to atone for his mistake.
Osment faces misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and cocaine possession. He is scheduled for arraignment on July 7.
The article notes that Osment has recently acted in projects like "Poker Face" and "Blink Twice." His sister previously announced on Instagram that Osment and his family lost their home in the Eaton wildfire.
