Page Six<\/a>, a judge set Blair\u2019s bail at $20,000 cash or a $60,000 bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for January 19, 2027.<\/p>\nSelma\u2019s attorneys are arguing that the alleged attacks were not intentional. During her arraignment, attorney Shawn Barnes told the court that the actress had missed multiple doses of medication prescribed for her multiple sclerosis.<\/p>\n
He also claimed that Selma had fallen and hit her head before boarding the flight and had been working exhausting hours on set.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese factors coupled with the altitude, resulted in a state of severe confusion and disorientation,\u201d Barnes explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was not an intentional assault,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\nThe judge, however, made it clear that Selma\u2019s celebrity status would not earn her any special consideration. When her legal team asked the court to consider her professional accomplishments, the judge reportedly responded that the actress should not receive special treatment because of her fame.<\/p>\n
The allegations against Selma are certainly troubling.<\/p>\n
She was arrested after allegedly punching one flight attendant and biting another aboard a Delta flight traveling from Los Angeles to New York City. After the plane landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport, she was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for evaluation.<\/p>\n
During the ambulance ride, Selma allegedly kicked a Port Authority police officer repeatedly. She was also accused of kicking a nurse at the hospital, prompting the nurse to press charges.<\/p>\n
The FBI is investigating the alleged incident aboard the aircraft, and Selma faces separate federal allegations in addition to the two state charges.<\/p>\n
A representative for the actress previously said Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. She received medical attention after landing and was reported to be in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t the first time Selma has experienced a highly publicized incident aboard an airplane.<\/p>\n
In 2016, she was removed from a flight traveling from Mexico to Los Angeles after making alarming statements that she later attributed to mixing alcohol with medication.<\/p>\n
For now, Selma is free on bail. But with multiple allegations under investigation and a court date looming, this celebrity story is nowhere near its final chapter.<\/p>\n
