Remember Haley Joel Osment? The kid who saw dead people? Well, now he’s seeing court dates. The former child star has found himself in the spotlight again—but this time, it’s not for supernatural visions or Oscar-worthy performances.
This week, Osment was arrested at Mammoth Mountain ski resort in California for public intoxication and possession of cocaine, after allegedly causing quite a scene. And just when you thought it couldn’t get messier, bodycam footage captured him using an antisemitic slur during the arrest—something he’s since publicly apologized for, calling the outburst “deeply regrettable.”
And here’s the kicker: just days before the incident, he was crashing at his sister Emily Osment’s place—yes, Hannah Montana’s BFF—because his own home was lost in the Eaton Fire back in January. The Mammoth trip? Apparently a getaway to give his sister some space. Talk about a vacation gone sideways.
While fans are shocked by the turn of events, many are also rallying behind him, hopeful he can get back on track. Osment, now 36, has been quietly building a solid career as a quirky character actor, showing up in everything from The Boys to indie comedies. But this recent stumble might be a wake-up call more intense than any spooky vision he ever had on screen.
He’s due in court this July, and until then, it’s likely we won’t hear much more from his team. But one thing’s clear: Haley Joel Osment has entered a new chapter—and we’re all hoping it’s a redemption arc.
