- During Thursday, Selma Blair announced at the ADL State of the Arts Reception in New York City that she is producing Hineni, a documentary exploring antisemitism she struggled to address after a controversial Instagram post.
- After the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, Blair faced backlash in February 2024 for an Instagram post conflating Muslims with Radical Islamists. She deleted the comment, though professional consequences followed immediately.
