Haley Joel Osment Caught Yelling Slurs In Wild Arrest Video

Haley Joel Osment, once a kid-star well-renowned for his essential role in The Sixth Sense, is in trouble once again causing mischief. The recent viral arrest video, which made it seem like an ugly scene with the police, clearly showed the actor hurling Jewish slurs. The footage surfaced published by Page Six, creating many uproars and raising several questions on social media about whether this is the end of his most recent comeback.

The video depicts Osment arguing with officers, slurring his speech, and acting erratically. At one point, he hurls some epithets; that moment already drew large-scale condemnation from others. It is a far cry from the down-to-earth character cultivated by him as a child star, and the internet has spoken.

Sergio Carlo was among the first to comment, with the sting of honesty: ‘And just when he was getting his acting career on track again he goes and screwed it up. Another typical child star going down in flames. Too bad he wasn’t clever enough to say “I see dead people” instead of racial slurs and maybe people might have forgiven that.’ Harsh. That stings; he’d be hard-pressed to find some sympathetic fans now.

Here comes the expected roast over his appearance. Barbie Botox went on to say: ‘It’s crazy how the kid from the sixth sense has already become a fat old man.’ Harsh? Maybe. But when has the internet ever forgiven in such cases? Expecially when it is a fallen child star.

The roasting did not end there. The Funny Firm went for humor, tweeting: ‘I think I see drunk people…’ It was a cheeky play on his renowned quote, but it could serve to remind everyone that this situation isn’t much of a joke for Osment’s career.

Alicia Fuentes1 said it best: ‘Well he just flushed his career down the toilet.’ And frankly, who could really argue against that? This is exactly the sort of behavior that could, in this day and age, be a career wrong turn for anybody.

This incident would still overshadow Osment’s gradual restoration of reputation through voice acting and indie films. Recovery? It’s uncertain, for he will be surely haunted about it later forever by the internet.

Isn’t it why? Why would anyone who has struggled so hard, would sacrifice by meltdown in public? The stress of fame? Some private issues? A very bad day? No one knows, but we can all assume this is one of the many regrets load with Osment for quite a time in the future.

Just looking at the video tells one about the incident, and the online den has already judged the matter. Well, is Hollywood going to be kind enough to let him try again, or is this the final nail in his coffin?

Well, not that kind of comeback that everyone would like. And certainly not the kind of headline attached to one’s name. Yikes!
