Haley Joel Osment sentenced in court after his public intoxication arrest: report
Haley Joel Osment was sentenced after he was arrested for public intoxication in California in April.
During his arraignment in court on Monday, the 'Sixth Sense' actor, 37, was granted a one-year diversion by the judge which requires him to attend at least three AA meetings per week for the next six months, according to People.
Additionally, Osment has been ordered to meet with a therapist at least twice a week, the outlet reported.

The Mono County district attorney reportedly objected to Osment's diversion request because of the actor's previous DUI conviction and that he used a racial slur against a police officer during his April arrest.
If Osment completes the diversion, his charges will be dismissed by the court. If not, criminal proceedings will be reinstated, according to People.

'I'm absolutely horrified by my behavior,' the actor said in an exclusive statement to The Post after the incident. 'Had I known I used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout, I would have spoken up sooner.'

Queens great-grandma beaten by unhinged woman on NYC subway train can't shake feeling attacker is still ‘behind' her: ‘I heard ‘bop!'
A great-grandmother from Queens who was badly beaten by an unhinged woman in a Midtown subway station last month is frightened to ride the rails after the harrowing unprovoked beating, she told The Post. Aurore Gonzalez, 73 — who was allegedly pummeled by Marie McWilliams, 36, May 1 — said she can't shake the terrifying feeling that her attacker is still right 'behind' her. 'She hit me as I was stepping off the train and I heard 'bop!'' she told The Post Tuesday, the same day McWilliams was arrested for assault. 'Then I started falling backwards and sliding, and I fell into homeless person's belongings covered in feces,' she said. Weeks after the nightmarish ordeal, Gonzalez said she still suffers from sleeplessness and anxiety. 'I still take the subway and I look around now,' said Gonzalez, who has five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. '[I'm] looking behind my head all the time. I'm looking for her.' Gonzalez was riding the Manhattan-bound E train to her job cleaning law offices at around 4:30 p.m when she allegedly heard McWilliams jabbering racist comments to herself. 'She was just talking loud to herself about Puerto Ricans and blacks and saying that they're no good and that they shouldn't be here!' said Gonzalez. Gonzalez, who is Hispanic, said she turned around and asked the erratic straphanger, 'Are you talking to me?!' McWilliams 'didn't say anything' but followed her as she stepped off the train at the Fifth Avenue-53rd Street station — and then she pounced, repeatedly punching her, she said. 'When I was stepping off the train she hit me in the back of the head,' she said. 'She grabbed my bun…and she started scratching me with a blade on my face,' said Gonzalez, who still had two black eyes from the assault Tuesday. 'I [was] bleeding and I fell into a homeless person's crap and I had to go to my job,' she said. Gonzalez said she now suffers from kidney trouble due to the fall, along with scarring near her eye and migraine headaches. 'This just isn't right. I'm in pain. I have to be on painkillers,' said Gonzalez. 'I couldn't sleep for two weeks. The anxiety, I couldn't eat. At night on my job I would just cry,' said Gonzalez. Asked about her attacker's arrest, Gonzalez said she's 'relieved.' 'I am so happy to hear this. I will testify! She should not have done that. She should keep her hands to herself!' Gonzalez said. 'Have some respect for older people!' McWilliams was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court Tuesday and granted supervised release by Judge Marva Brown over prosecutors' request for $10,000 cash bail or $30,000 bond.

NYC Dems take on Tom Thibodeau's Knicks firing at debate — and one was all for it

Andrew Cuomo and state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani — until Michael Blake gave an emphatic thumbs up. 3 Democratic mayoral candidate Michael Blake speaks in the New York City Democratic Mayoral Primary Debate at NBC Studios on June 4, 2025 in New York City.

'Our goal is to win the Finals, not to get to the conference finals,' Blake said. It was not clear how Scott Stringer, the former city comptroller, voted during the prompt. Advertisement Follow The Post's coverage of the Knicks' stunning firing of head coach Tom Thibodeau Thibodeau's ouster shocked plenty of people throughout the game of basketball, including Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, who got the best of the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals in six games. Carlisle said that when he first heard the news, he thought it was completely fabricated. 'Thibs went in and changed so much. You look at all that and what happened yesterday, I thought [the news] was one of those fake AI things,' Carlisle said. 'No way. No way possible. I know how the players feel about him, too.' Advertisement 3 Tom Thibodeau yells from the sideline during the first half of the Knicks' season-ending loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on May 31, 2025. AP Thibodeau's five-year tenure included a 226-174 record during the regular season and four trips to the postseason, but the last two ended at the hands of the Pacers. ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania said Tuesday the consensus around the league was that people were 'stunned,' given Thibodeau's positive track record. 'My phone is blowing up right now with executives, everyone around the league [is] just stunned,' Charania said during an appearance on 'SportsCenter.' Now, the Knicks are on the hunt for a new coach, and the team will likely prioritize experience, The Post's Stefan Bondy reported.

Queen Camilla ‘stays out' of King Charles' ongoing rift with Prince Harry
Queen Camilla is choosing to maintain her distance from the ongoing drama between her husband, King Charles, and his estranged youngest son, Prince Harry. Palace sources say the queen, 77, 'stays out of it' as the feud between the two camps grows increasingly bitter. Insiders say that the Duke of Sussex's explosive BBC interview last month poured fuel on the fire — shattering what little trust remained between him and his cancer-stricken father. 'The king and William don't trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation,' royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People, adding that 'the underlying issue is trust.' 'It wasn't meant to be an attack, but it would be seen as one. It makes Charles reaching out even harder,' royal author Valentine Low told the outlet. Meanwhile, 'Charles: The Heart of a King' author Catherine Mayer told the outlet, 'If you have that level of breach in a family, and you are estranged, you run that risk every day of having something unfathomable to deal with.' The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. Camilla, for her part, removed herself from the feud years ago since she was heavily criticized in Harry's protocol-shattering memoir, 'Spare.' The Invictus Games founder's feelings for Camilla were laid bare in the book, in which he sensationally branded her 'dangerous' and 'the villain.' The father of two also claimed that his stepmother leaked stories about the royal family to the media to maintain her image and boost her popularity. Now, insiders allege that the monarch, 76, lacks supportive voices of reason who would encourage him to make the first step toward reconciliation with Harry. What's more, sources added that Harry's estranged brother and future king, Prince William, has no interest in mending bridges. 'There is not a good angel in his ear to say, 'Be a good dad and make the first move,'' Low told the outlet. Last month, a royal commentator said that the duke needed to keep a 'dignified silence' if he ever wanted a chance at a reconciliation with his estranged family members. Joe Little, the managing editor of Majesty magazine, has since weighed in on the discourse, calling the 'Spare' author's comments about his estranged father's health 'quite alarming.' 'From what Harry is saying, despite admitting that he has not spoken to his father for some time, I thought it sent out a bit of a mixed message, really,' Little said. 'Is Harry suggesting that the King isn't as well as we are led to believe?'
