In a statement released on April 17, Osment expressed deep remorse: “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.” He attributed his actions to emotional distress, citing the loss of his home in the January Eaton Fire as a contributing factor.
