\n\tSelma Blair<\/a> was arrested on Sunday after an alleged violent incident on a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York, Variety has confirmed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d actress allegedly punched one flight attendant and bit another after attempting to open the plane door while in the air, per TMZ. Law enforcement was parked at the gate and responded to the incident once the aircraft landed in in New York, where the 54-year-old Blair was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for evaluation. Two flight attendants reported injuries, with one receiving care at a hospital.<\/p>\n

\n\tA representative for Blair told Variety: \u201cSelma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Port Authority confirmed Blair\u2019s identity to Variety. A source says the FBI is currently investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement to Variety, a Delta Air Lines spokesperson said, \u201cDelta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite the chaos on board, there was no operational impact to the flight, which landed at John F. Kennedy airport at approximately 11 p.m., ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is not the first time Blair has experienced an outburst on a plane. In 2016, she was removed from a flight on a stretcher while traveling with her 4-year-old son after she \u201chad a total psychotic blackout.\u201d Blair chalked up the incident to drinking a glass of wine and taking a pill, saying at the time, \u201cIt was horrible and frightening and I had empathy for myself actually afterwards because it was actually so out of character for me, especially because I\u2019m a mother.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Selma Blair was arrested on Sunday after an alleged violent incident on a Delta flight from Los Angeles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":880059,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,118340],"class_list":["post-880058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-selma-blair"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=880058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880058\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/880059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
