Selma Blair’s team has issued a statement regarding the actress’s recent arrest following an alleged incident during a flight on October 11. The representative emphasized that the public narrative surrounding the events has mostly relied on a police statement and an old headline.

Blair was taken into custody after allegedly causing harm to two flight attendants during a flight from Los Angeles to New York. Subsequently, she faced charges for purportedly assaulting a police officer and a nurse. Her team expressed gratitude towards a few journalists who portrayed Selma as a person rather than just a headline.

During her court appearance on October 12, Blair pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree assault and was later released on bail. Her representative clarified that she experienced a medical emergency on the flight and had no intention of causing harm to anyone.

The statement from Blair’s team addressed the medical conditions the actress faces, including multiple sclerosis. Her attorney explained that due to missing doses of vital medication, a combination of factors, including a head injury during the flight, led to a state of confusion and disorientation.

Furthermore, the representative highlighted Blair’s advocacy work for disability rights and her resilience in the face of health challenges. They also mentioned that Selma’s diagnosis of multiple sclerosis has been public since 2018 and emphasized the impact of her neurological condition on how medical episodes are perceived by others.

The statement concluded by shedding light on Blair’s creative projects and advocacy efforts, urging people to consider the full scope of facts surrounding the incident before forming judgments. It was emphasized that Selma Blair had never been arrested prior to the recent incident.
