Selma Blair was charged with second-degree assault after being arrested following a violent incident on a Delta flight Sunday, according to Queens Criminal Court. The actress posted $20,000 bail, paid by credit card, and was released Monday.
After being kicked off the Delta plane on Sunday, the “Cruel Intentions” actress was arrested by a Port Authority police officer on Monday after allegedly attacking a police officer and a nurse, according to TMZ. She then appeared in Queens Criminal Court Monday evening, where she appeared before Judge Indira D. Khan, according to court documents viewed by Variety.
On the plane, she allegedly punched a flight attendant and bit another while traveling from Los Angeles to New York. Blair also attempted to open the plane’s door while it was in the air. Law enforcement was waiting for the 54-year-old “Legally Blonde” actress at John F. Kennedy Airport, where police arrested her and transported her to a hospital for evaluation. Two flight attendants reported injuries, one of whom was treated at a hospital.
After the incident, a representative for Blair said Variety: “Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.”
In 2016, Blair experienced a tantrum while on a plane, during which she was taken off a flight on a stretcher while traveling with her then-4-year-old son after “having a total psychotic blackout,” as she described it. Blair attributed the incident to drinking a glass of wine and taking a pill. “It was horrible and scary, and I felt empathy for myself afterwards because it didn’t feel right for me at all, especially being a mother,” she said at the time.
