US actress Selma Blair arrested after flight altercation
The 'Legally Blonde' and 'Cruel Intentions' star was detained at John F Kennedy Airport after her Delta Air Lines flight landed late Sunday following reports of a passenger behaving violently.
US actress Selma Blair was arrested after allegedly assaulting two flight attendants on a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to New York City on Sunday, according to authorities. The incident occurred late Sunday after the 54-year-old star's flight landed at JFK Airport, causing injuries to at least two cabin crew members. Blair reportedly punched one attendant and bit another, before assaulting a police officer and nurse while being transported to the hospital for a medical emergency.
Blair's representative stated that her behavior was triggered by a medical emergency. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition. The FBI issued a summons accusing her of assaults on the plane. Blair was arraigned on two counts of second-degree assault on Monday night and released on bail. A new hearing in the case is set for January 19, 2027.
Delta Air Lines expressed zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, emphasizing that customer and crew safety are their top priorities. In 2016, Blair was removed from a flight on a stretcher following another outburst. In a 2022 memoir, she revealed that she had bitten several celebrities, including Kate Moss, often in situations involving alcohol consumption.
