Selma Blair Apologizes After Flight Assault Allegations

Actress Selma Blair has spoken out for the first time since her arrest on October 11, offering an apology to those affected by an alleged incident on a Delta flight. The 54-year-old actress appeared in court on October 12, pleading not guilty to two counts of second-degree assault and subsequently being released on bail.

Blair expressed remorse for the delay in her statement, citing legal advice to remain quiet. She maintained that she never intended to harm or frighten anyone. Her attorney suggested the incident was not intentional, attributing it to missed medication doses and a demanding work schedule. Blair is currently focusing on her health and her son, expressing gratitude for the support she has received.

Reports indicate Blair allegedly punched a flight attendant and bit another crew member. She is also accused of assaulting a nurse and a police officer. A representative for Blair stated that the public account was largely based on a police statement and that she experienced a medical emergency. She is reported to be in stable condition after receiving immediate medical attention upon landing.
