Selma Blair was charged with second degree assault on Monday, October 12, 2026, after an alleged disturbance aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York the previous day. The actress appeared in Queens Criminal Court, posted $20,000 bail by credit card, and was released. According to court documents viewed by Variety, Blair allegedly punched one flight attendant, bit another, and tried to open the aircraft door while the plane was in the air. Police were waiting at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where Blair was arrested and taken to a hospital for evaluation. What Happened on the Flight? TMZ reported that Blair was also accused of attacking a Port Authority police officer and a nurse after the flight landed. Two flight attendants reported injuries, and one received hospital treatment. The allegations have not been established in court. Blair’s representative said the 54 year old actress experienced a medical emergency that preceded the alleged conduct, received immediate care after landing, and was stable. The incident also recalls a 2016 flight disruption involving Blair, who later said she had a psychotic blackout after combining a glass of wine with medication while traveling with her then 4 year old son.
