US actress Selma Blair has been charged with two additional counts of assault after allegedly kicking a police officer and a nurse following her removal from a Delta flight. The incident occurred on a flight from Los Angeles to New York, where Blair reportedly attacked flight attendants, leading to her arrest by the FBI and a federal summons for assault. In court, Blair’s attorney requested leniency, citing her career and reputation, but the judge insisted she should not receive special treatment due to her celebrity status. Blair, who has pleaded not guilty, was released on bail and is scheduled for a hearing in January. Her representatives claim she experienced a medical emergency that contributed to her behavior. The case highlights the serious consequences of in-flight disturbances and the legal implications for those involved.
