  "account": "Selma Blair, the 54-year-old actress, released an apology video on social media in response to a recent plane incident. The actress was arrested after allegedly injuring flight attendants during a flight from Los Angeles to New York. Blair stated on her Instagram post that she had no intention to hurt anyone and that she didn't intend to frighten or alarm anyone. She expressed remorse to those who she disappointed, hurt, or alarmed. Blair was detained by police upon the plane's arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport and was arraigned on two counts of second-degree assault in a Queens court. Her lawyer entered a not guilty plea on her behalf. This is not the first time Blair has had issues on a plane; she had previously apologized in 2016 for making regrettable statements during a flight from Cancun to Los Angeles. Blair has had significant roles in films such as \"Cruel Intentions,\" \"Legally Blonde,\" and \"Hellboy.\" She has also been a strong advocate for disability rights since her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2018. In 2023, she joined President Joe Biden at the White House to commemorate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.",
