Selma Blair<\/strong><\/a> is appearing before a judge following her alleged midair meltdown.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, the 54-year-old Cruel Intentions<\/em> actress\u2019 rep confirmed to Just Jared<\/strong>: \u201cSelma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is said that she bit a flight attendant<\/a>, assaulted another, and attempted to open the airplane door in flight.<\/p>\n

After landing at JFK Airport in New York City, Selma<\/strong> was subsequently arrested and taken to the hospital for treatment and evaulation. While en route to the hospital, she allegedly \u201crepeatedly kicked a Port Authority police officer in the head\u201d and then allegedly attacked a nurse as well.<\/p>\n

On Monday evening (October 12), Selma<\/strong> was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on two assault charges for allegedly repeatedly kicking the police officer in the head and attacking the nurse. Selma<\/strong> was ordered to keep her handcuffs on during her court appearance, despite her lawyers’ requests to have them removed.<\/p>\n

Selma Blair’s attorneys claim she missed multiple doses of a “powerful” medication<\/h3>\n

While in court, Selma<\/strong>‘s attorney, Shawn Barnes<\/strong>, told Judge Indira Kahn<\/strong> that “this was not an intentional assault” (per The New York Post<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Blair missed several doses of \u2026 a powerful medication that controls severe neurological symptoms,\u201d he added, noting that the actress suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Barnes<\/strong> also claimed that Selma<\/strong> “hit her head” during the flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Blair boarded this flight after being on set and working extensive hours and exhaustive hours in the days leading up to this flight,\u201d he said. \u201cAdditionally, at one point, during the flight, there was an incident where Miss Blair actually fell and hit her head.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThese factors, coupled with the altitude, resulted in a state of severe confusion and disorientation,\u201d Barnes<\/strong> added.<\/p>\n

Selma<\/strong>‘s other defense attorney, Joshua Reitzas<\/strong>, also said to Judge Kahn<\/strong>, \u201cConsider her body of work and what she\u2019s done for people. This is someone we should look up to. She is the gold standard.”<\/p>\n

However, Judge Kahn<\/strong> clapped back with, \u201cMs. Blair should not get special treatment because she is a celebrity.”<\/p>\n

Selma Blair released from police custody after posting bond<\/h3>\n

Judge Kahn<\/strong> set Selma<\/strong>‘s bail at $20,000 cash and $60,000 bond during the hearing. She posted the cash bail immediately and was released.<\/p>\n

She was also ordered to stay away from the nurse she allegedly forcefully kicked in the chest while being taken to the hospital earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

The Legally Blonde<\/em> actress is due back in court in January 2027.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Selma<\/strong> has had issues on board an airplane.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know, in 2016, Selma<\/strong> was taken off of a flight after an incident.<\/a> Six months after the situation, she spoke out about what happened<\/a> and revealed it was one of her lowest points with alcohol.<\/a><\/p>\n
