Selma Blair arrested after trying to open plane doors, biting flight attendant
The actress was taken into custody after crew members reported injuries, and Delta said it has zero tolerance for unruly behavior.
- On Sunday, actress Selma Blair was arrested after an alleged violent incident aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York, during which the 54-year-old allegedly punched one flight attendant and bit another after attempting to open the plane door mid-air.
- Blair's representative cited a medical emergency as the cause of the alleged conduct, while a similar 2016 incident saw her removed from a flight on a stretcher after experiencing a psychotic blackout while traveling with her 4-year-old son.
- Despite the chaos aboard, the aircraft landed at John F. Kennedy airport at approximately 11 p.m. ahead of schedule with no operational impact; law enforcement responded at the gate and transported Blair to a hospital, with two flight attendants reporting injuries and one receiving hospital care.
- Federal authorities opened an FBI investigation into the incident as Delta Airlines emphasized zero tolerance for unruly behavior, with a spokesperson stating, "the safety of our customers and crew always comes first."
- Blair remains in stable condition following immediate medical attention, as the recurring pattern of in-flight incidents spanning over a decade prompts scrutiny of health management protocols during the ongoing federal investigation.
