"But that's no excuse for using this disgusting word. 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."Though Osment is best known for his adolescent roles in The Sixth Sense and Pay It Forward, he's maintained a busy career in subsequent years with over 130 acting credits.

Haley Joel Osment Ordered to Attend A.A. After Ski Resort Arrest
A judge has ordered the actor Haley Joel Osment to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy sessions for the next six months as part of a deal to dispose of charges of public intoxication and cocaine possession after he insulted the police. Mr. Osment, who rose to fame as the child actor of 'Sixth Sense' in 1999, was arrested in April at a ski resort in Mono County, Calif. Police footage of the arrest showed Mr. Osment refusing to answer questions from officers. He also asserted that he was being tortured and kidnapped by a 'Nazi' and used an antisemitic slur while addressing an officer. Later he apologized for his words and said he had experienced a blackout. At a court appearance on Monday, a judge granted Mr. Osment's request for a one-year diversion from prosecution, saying he would dismiss the charges if over the next six months the actor obeys all laws, attends three A.A. meetings a week and meets with his therapist twice a week. Diversion is an alternative procedure in criminal cases in many states that allows certain defendants to avoid prosecution and a criminal record by agreeing to complete a rehabilitation program and a period of probation. David Anderson, the Mono County district attorney, said in a statement that his office disagreed with the judge's decision. 'Based on Mr. Osment's prior D.U.I. conviction, as well as his slurs toward the arresting officer, my office did not believe diversion was appropriate,' Mr. Anderson said. A representative for Mr. Osment did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. He is scheduled to reappear in court in January, when the court will review his compliance with the orders. If he does not complete the diversion program, criminal proceedings will be restarted. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Haley Joel Osment ordered to AA, therapy after alleged public drunkenness at ski resort
Haley Joel Osment must commit to six months of court-mandated Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy after he was arrested earlier this year for alleged public drunkenness and cocaine possession. The 'Sixth Sense' and 'Blink Twice' actor, 37, was arraigned Monday in Mono County, Calif. The Times confirmed that a judge granted the former child actor's request for a one-year diversion. Osment, older brother of 'Young Sheldon' alumna Emily Osment, will be cleared of his charges if he completes the terms of diversion: at least 3 AA meetings per week and at least two meetings with his therapist for the next six months. He must also 'obey all laws,' Mono County District Attorney David Anderson said in a statement to The Times on Tuesday. 'If he does not complete diversion, the criminal proceedings will be reinstated,' Anderson said. A representative for the actor did not immediately respond on Tuesday to The Times' request for comment. Osment, also known for lending his voice to the popular 'Kingdom Hearts' video game franchise, was arrested April 8 on suspicion of public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance at the popular Mammoth Mountain ski resort. The Mono County district attorney's office said at the time it charged the 'Spoils of Babylon' actor with two misdemeanors: disorderly conduct involving alcohol and possession. Law enforcement responded to a call about an allegedly intoxicated individual at the ski resort, TMZ reported in April. The website published video of Osment, wearing his ski helmet backward, allegedly holding up the line for a ski lift. Frustrated resort guests urged Osment to 'get out of the line,' but he brushed off their demands and refused to follow a crew member who tried to escort him to the side, according to the video. Adding to his troubles, Osment berated his arresting officer, claiming 'I've been kidnapped by a f— Nazi' and hurling an antisemitic slur at the officer. After the footage surfaced, Osment said in a statement that he was 'absolutely horrified by my behavior ... in the throes of a blackout.' '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,' he added at the time. 'I don't ask for anyone's forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake.' Anderson said in his statement that his office 'did not believe diversion was appropriate and objected' to Osment's request, citing the actor's prior DUI conviction and his comments to the officer. Ultimately, a judge decided in Osment's favor. Osment is next due in court Jan. 5, 2026, for a review of his diversion compliance. Before then, he is set to appear in Season 2 of Netflix's hit series 'Wednesday.' The streaming giant revealed his serial killer role during its Tudum fan event on Saturday in Inglewood.
