Haley Joel Osment, a former girl known in particular for her role in Sixth meaning In front of Bruce Willis, he apologized on Friday, April 18 for launching an anti -Semitic insult to a police officer during an arrest a few days before. In a press release transmitted by Los Angeles Times, the 37 -year -old actor says he is “horrified by (his) behavior.”
According to ABC, the actor was arrested at Mammoth Mountain Californian ski resort on April 8 and then accused of drunkenness on the public road and possession of cocaine. It was not until Thursday, April 17 that the American town site TMZ released a video recorded by the camera aboard the police car, in which we listen to Haley Joel Osment from the rear seat.
“I was kidnapped by a P ***** Nazi,” we heard it declare, before adding later in the video: “You are a P ***** of ‘Kike’.”
The word “kike”, specific to the English language, constitutes an anti -Semitic insult. According to the American Jewish committee, he derives from the word Yiddish “Kikel”, which means “circle.” The organization reports that American immigrants who traveled on Ellis Island between the late nineteenth and mid -twentieth century indicated their forms of arrival of an X; Jewish immigrants, combining this symbol with the Christian cross, preferred to sign for a round. Immigration officers then described those who signed with a circle of “Kikel”; The word has been abbreviated by “K” and has become a pejorative term.
“I promise to buy myself”
“I am absolutely horrified by my behavior,” said Haley Joel Osment on Friday. “If I had known that I had used this shameful language in the mists of my poisoning, I would have spoken before.”
“From the depths of my heart, I apologize to all the people I have offended,” he continued. “I said the inept of orders. I disappointed the Jewish community and I am devastated. I don’t wait for anyone, but I promise to redeem myself for this terrible error.” He also described the term used as “unpleasant word.”
“The losses and trips of recent months have put me wrong, emotionally,” added the actor, referring to his house destroyed in the fires that devastated part of Los Angeles last January.
