Actor Selma Blair was arrested at New York’s JFK Airport after an alleged altercation aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles left two flight attendants injured. Her representative said a medical emergency led to the incident. The FBI is investigating.
Selma Blair, the 54-year-old actress known for her roles in "Cruel Intentions," "Legally Blonde," and "Hellboy," has been arrested after an alleged mid-air altercation left two flight attendants injured. The incident occurred on a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to New York, and Blair was taken into custody upon landing at John F Kennedy International Airport.
According to authorities, the actor allegedly punched one flight attendant, bit another, and attempted to open the plane's door during the flight. However, Blair's representative claims the actor experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged behavior, and she was taken to the hospital for evaluation after landing. The FBI is investigating the allegations of assault, while Delta maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards such conduct.
The case will be handled by a petty violations court in Brooklyn, and Blair has been issued a federal summons. This incident echoes a similar event from 2016, when Blair apologized for blacking out and causing unwanted behavior on a flight from Cancún to Los Angeles.
