Selma Blair’s Troubles Mount After Alleged Nurse Assault, Judge Issues Restraining Order

The actress was accused of assaulting flight attendants, a police officer and a nurse, and federal investigators opened separate inquiries.

  • On Monday, actor Selma Blair was arraigned in New York's Queens Criminal Court on two felony counts of second-degree assault following an incident aboard a flight from Los Angeles.
  • Authorities responded to Delta Flight 938 at JFK Airport on Sunday after Blair allegedly punched and bit flight attendants; lawyer Shawn Barnes attributed the behavior to exhaustion and a medical emergency.
  • Criminal complaints allege Blair kicked Port Authority Police Department Officer Maria Suarez and registered nurse Ashley DeLeo while being transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, with the officer requiring hospital treatment due to "substantial" pain.
  • Judge Indira Khan set bail at $20,000, which Blair posted, while also issuing a temporary protective order prohibiting the actress from coming within 100 yards of DeLeo until October 11, 2027.
  • Facing potential sentences of up to seven years per count, Blair remains under investigation by the FBI and Federal Aviation Administration, with her next court appearance scheduled for Jan. 19, 2027.
