Selma Blair Apologizes After Arrest for In-Flight Assault

Selma Blair has publicly apologized for an incident that occurred on an airplane on October 11, which led to her arrest and hospitalization. Blair stated she is cooperating with legal proceedings and is unable to discuss the specifics of that day.

She expressed profound remorse to anyone she may have disappointed, hurt, or frightened. Blair conveyed that her intention was never to cause harm, and she is deeply grateful for the support she has received.

Blair, who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2018, reportedly experienced a medical emergency on the flight. Her representative clarified that there was no attempt to open the aircraft door and that Blair did not intend to harm anyone. The statement also addressed misconceptions about her health, noting that she lives with daily pain and pseudobulbar affect, a condition secondary to her MS.

She pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault on October 12 in a New York City courtroom. Currently, Blair is focusing on her well-being and her son, Arthur. Her service dog, Scout, who is also mentioned as being okay, was taken from her during the incident.
