Actress Selma Blair was arrested at JFK Airport following a disruptive incident during a flight. Crew members reportedly restrained her during the flight, and after landing, she allegedly assaulted a police officer and a nurse while being transported for medical care. Blair is now facing two counts of assault related to these altercations, and the flight attendant involved is also considering filing a complaint.

A spokesperson for the actress stated that Blair suffered a medical emergency on board, which triggered her behavior. While she is currently in stable condition and receiving treatment, the exact nature of the health crisis remains undisclosed. This incident is not the first time the actress has faced trouble during air travel, as she was removed from a flight in 2016 following an outburst. Blair, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, has previously spoken openly about her struggles with the disease, including how its progression impacted her mental and physical well-being.
