Haley Joel Osment, 37, will need to attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and two visits with his therapist per week for six months if he wants to be cleared of the criminal charges related to his drunken outburst at the Mammoth Mountain ski resort in April, according to the L.A. Times. TMZ obtained video of the former child actor acting belligerent at the resort just before law enforcement responded to the scene, where they allegedly found the actor intoxicated and in possession of cocaine. Osment can also be seen hurling an anti-semitic slur at his arresting officer. The Sixth Sense star, who was nominated for an Oscar at just 11 years old, was arrested and later charged with public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance. Osment was granted a one-year diversion on Tuesday, during which time he must complete the mandated terms of AA and therapy or “the criminal proceedings will be reinstated,” Mono County District Attorney David Anderson told the Times. Osment apologized to “the Jewish community” for his behavior in the video, adding that he was “absolutely horrified by my behavior… in the throes of a blackout.”
