US actress Selma Blair accused of assault after incident with flight attendants

What the report says

US actress Selma Blair has been accused of assault after an incident aboard a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to New York, according to the source material attributed to Nile Post and reporting from BBC. Officials said the matter led to FBI involvement, and Blair was later issued a summons to appear in court in Brooklyn. The reports place the incident on Delta Flight 938 around 23:00 local time, after airport authorities responded to a call about a physically abusive passenger.

The public article says two flight attendants were injured, with one taken to hospital. Blair, known for films including Legally Blonde, Hellboy and Cruel Intentions, was arrested and also taken to hospital after the flight landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Delta said law enforcement met the aircraft on arrival and described its policy as having zero tolerance for unruly behavior.

Blair’s publicist said she had experienced a medical emergency that preceded the alleged conduct and that she was in stable condition after receiving immediate care. The article also notes that Blair has spoken publicly about multiple sclerosis and had previously reduced her film work after her diagnosis. As general context, aviation authorities and airlines typically treat onboard disturbances seriously because they can affect passenger and crew safety, but the exact circumstances of this case remain under official review.
