This is not Osment’s first involvement with legal issues related to substance use. In 2006, he pleaded no contest to charges of driving under the influence and marijuana possession after crashing into a brick pillar. As a result, he was sentenced to three years of probation, 60 hours of alcohol rehabilitation, and six months of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Best known for his role as a child star in The Sixth Sense, Osment has maintained a steady career in Hollywood, appearing in shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl. Nevertheless, his recent struggles have brought to light the personal challenges he faces off-screen.
