Haley Joel Osment “Absolutely Horrified” After Using Slur in Police Arrest Footage

Haley Joel Osment is looking back at this moment with sober eyes.

One week after the Sixth Sense actor was booked for public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance at a ski resort in California, he expressed regret for using an antisemitic slur while being arrested in police footage obtained by People. 

“I’m absolutely horrified by my behavior,” Osment said in a statement to the outlet April 17. “Had I known I used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout, I would have spoken up sooner. The past few months of loss and displacement have broken me down to a very low emotional place.”  

“But that’s no excuse for using this disgusting word,” he continued. “From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to absolutely everyone that this hurts. What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage – I’ve let the Jewish community down and it devastates me. I don’t ask for anyone’s forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake.”

E! News has reached out to reps for Osment and the Mono County Sheriff’s Office for comment and has not heard back.
