Selma Blair Faces Potential Federal Charges: What’s Next for the Actress After Arrest
Blair faces up to 7 years in prison after pleading not guilty to two felony assault charges and a federal summons remains possible, prosecutors said.
- On Monday, Actress Selma Blair pleaded not guilty to two felony assault charges in New York City court and was released on a $20,000 bond following her arrest Sunday aboard a Delta flight.
- During the Sunday flight from Los Angeles to New York City, Blair allegedly assaulted two flight attendants, prompting federal charges within United States maritime jurisdiction announced via violation notice Monday.
- According to a complaint obtained by ABC News, Blair allegedly had further altercations with a Port Authority officer and a registered nurse assisting with her medical treatment after landing.
- Blair's attorney cited a medical emergency, stating her conditions "greatly impact her neurological system," and noted she missed medication doses during travel; Blair has said dystonia "causes muscles to move or tighten on their own, out of a person's control."
- The actress is due back in court on Jan. 19; Blair previously disclosed her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2018 and was hospitalized in 2016 after a separate flight incident.
