Selma Blair, the 54-year-old actress known for her roles in "Cruel Intentions" and "Hellboy," was arrested and charged with assault after an incident on a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to New York. According to a statement released by her publicist, Blair did not intend to harm anyone or attempt to open the aircraft door, contrary to reports suggesting otherwise.
The statement also revealed that Blair suffered a medical emergency during the flight, which was exacerbated by her neurological condition, pseudobulbar affect, a result of her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2018. Blair pleaded not guilty to charges of assaulting a police officer and a nurse at John F. Kennedy Airport.
