Former child star Haley Joel Osment is apologizing for using antisemitic slurs when cops arrested him for public intoxication earlier this month.
Osment, 37, exclusively told The Post on Thursday, “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 Sixth Sense” star continued, “The past few months of loss and displacement have broken me down to a very low emotional place.”
The actor recently lost his home in the Altadena wildfire in January, during the Los Angeles wildfires that devastated the area and claimed the homes of other celebs like Joshua Jackson and Billy Crystal.
Sources told TMZ that the “Secondhand Lions” actor had “been going through it recently,” as he lost “everything” in the Altadena wildfire and has since had difficulty with his insurance. After recently finding a “replacement” home, Osment learned his insurer denied his claim, the outlet said.
Osment continued in his statement to The Post, “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.”
He concluded: “I don’t ask for anyone’s forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake.”
On April 8, Osment was arrested for public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance at a California ski resort.
He was taken into police custody in Mammoth Lakes, California, after law enforcement received a call shortly before 2 p.m. that day, for an allegedly intoxicated person at Mammoth Mountain resort.
In bodycam footage of his arrest, which The Post obtained on Thursday, Osment called a police officer an antisemitic slur and a “Nazi.”
At one point, he shouted, “I’ve been kidnapped by a f–king Nazi.” He also claimed he was “being attacked” and accused officers of “torturing me.”
In the video, Osment was heard telling police, “You’re f–kin’ with my life.”
He was also caught on camera saying to officers, “You’ll wish you treated me nicer,” before hurling another slur at one of them.
“I was decent to you and you, and you are a f–king k–e,” Osment stated.
As he was being brought into the jail, the actor told cops, “Good luck.”
Osment was released shortly after his arrest.
The district attorney for Mono County, Calif., moved forward with charges: possession of cocaine and disorderly conduct under the influence of alcohol in public, both misdemeanors, per TMZ.
Osment, whose sister Emily Osment, 33, is also an actress – currently starring in “The Big Bang Theory” spinoff “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” – has been involved in intoxication incidents before.
In 2006, when he was 18, he was arrested after he overturned his car and hit a mailbox in Los Angeles while intoxicated.
At the time, he pleaded no contest to one count of driving under the influence of alcohol and one count of possession of marijuana.
The actor was sentenced to three years probation and 60 hours of rehab, as well as six months of Alcoholics Anonymous. Osment later spoke to The Post about his arrest, calling the incident a “really, really serious lapse of judgment.”
