Selma Blair faces federal assault charges after incident on Delta flight

Actress Selma Blair is facing federal assault allegations after an incident aboard a flight in New York, and her representatives say a medical emergency is to blame. The 54-year-old actress, known for movies like Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde, was arrested Sunday night after her Delta flight landed at JFK. Police say she was physically abusive toward crew members, and two flight attendants reported injuries. One was taken to the hospital for further evaluation. The FBI has since issued Blair a summons accusing her of assault. Her case will be handled in federal court in Brooklyn. No court date has been set. Blair's representative told TMZ she experienced a, quote, medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct and that she's now in stable condition. In a statement, Delta said it has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first. Blair had recently been sharing videos of her travels on Instagram. She's also been open about her battle with multiple sclerosis, which she was diagnosed with in 2018. This isn't her first incident on a flight, by the way. Back in 2016, she apologized for an outburst aboard a plane, saying she had mixed alcohol with medication and blacked out.
