  "account": "Actress Selma Blair was apprehended by law enforcement after fellow passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to New York reported that she was physically abusive to flight attendants, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police department. Blair, recognized for her roles in the films Cruel Intentions and Hellboy, was identified as the suspect in the incident that occurred on Sunday evening.\n\nUpon arrival at New York's John F Kennedy Airport, Blair was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for evaluation. Two flight attendants reported sustaining injuries during the altercation. One of the injured flight attendants was subsequently taken to a hospital.\n\nDelta Airlines, in a statement on Monday, emphasized that they maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards unruly or unlawful behavior, stating that the safety of both their customers and crew is of utmost importance.\n\nDuring Blair's arraignment hearing in Queens, New York City, it was reported that the actress was also accused of kicking a police officer involved in her arrest and kicking a nurse at a hospital where she had been taken afterwards. Following the hearing, Blair was released on bond.\n\nBlair's representative disclosed that the 54-year-old actress had suffered a medical emergency during the flight, which allegedly led to the reported abusive behavior. Upon landing, Blair received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.\n\nIt is worth noting that Selma Blair has publicly spoken about her struggle with multiple sclerosis, a condition she was diagnosed with in 2018.",
