Actress Selma Blair has pleaded not guilty to assault charges following an incident on a Delta Airlines flight to New York. Her representatives attribute the event to a medical emergency and have challenged the accuracy of reports describing her behavior during the flight.

Actress Selma Blair recently addressed allegations regarding her arrest on a Delta Airlines flight to New York. Reports initially suggested she attempted to open an aircraft door and assaulted cabin crew members, which she has denied. Her representatives have characterized the incident as a medical emergency rather than a deliberate act of violence, noting that the public narrative has relied on one-sided accounts and outdated information. Blair has pleaded not guilty to assault charges related to the flight.

Legal documents also mention further confrontations with police and hospital staff following the flight, incidents which are currently under investigation by the FBI. Blair, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, has been open about her struggles with the disease, including severe symptoms and previous personal health challenges. Her spokesperson emphasized that there are many complexities to the situation that have not yet been fully disclosed to the public as the legal proceedings continue.
