In a troubling turn of events, actor Haley Joel Osment has publicly expressed his horror after reviewing body camera footage from his recent arrest at a California ski resort. The former child star found himself in hot water due to allegations of public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance.

Osment admitted to using what he described as 'disgraceful language,' which included antisemitic remarks, while being detained. Speaking candidly to the New York Post, 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.”

The footage captured Osment unleashing a tirade, claiming, “I’ve been kidnapped by a f***ing Nazi,” at one point even hurling an offensive slur towards a police officer. He later acknowledged the pain his words could cause, saying, “What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage — I’ve let the Jewish community down and it devastates me.”

This incident comes on the heels of personal turmoil for Osment, who recently lost his home in a devastating wildfire in California. The actor's turbulent history includes a DUI and marijuana charge back in 2006, where he faced probation. Moreover, in 2018, he was involved in a verbal spat at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport.

When arrested this week, the Mammoth Lakes Police Department referred to him as an 'unruly skier,' a stark reminder of his struggle with personal demons. In closing his heartfelt statement, Osment emphasized, “I don’t ask for anyone’s forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake.”

With this recent incident, Osment's path to redemption appears to be fraught with challenges, but it's clear he intends to take responsibility for his actions.
