US actress Selma Blair was arrested and hospitalized after allegedly attacking two flight attendants on a Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles to New York. The incident occurred around 11 PM local time, and one attendant required hospital treatment. Blair, known for her roles in “Legally Blonde” and “Cruel Intentions,” was taken into custody and is under investigation by the FBI for a potential assault. Her publicist stated that Blair experienced a medical emergency leading to the incident, and she is now in stable condition. The flight crew reportedly restrained her, and audio from air traffic control mentioned a “bloody nose and bite marks.” Delta Airlines emphasized their zero-tolerance policy for unruly behavior. Blair, who has multiple sclerosis, had a similar incident in 2016 due to mixing medication with alcohol. It remains unclear if she will face charges.
