Selma Blair's reps say Delta flight incident was a medical emergency

Selma Blair's representatives said Friday she had a medical emergency on a Delta flight and did not intend to harm anyone, days after she pleaded not guilty to assault charges.

Posted Updated (16 d ago)

Representatives for Selma Blair said in a statement on Friday that she did not intend to harm anyone during a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to New York. They said the episode was a "medical emergency." NBC News describes it as the first statement from her side since her arrest.

The Guardian reports Blair was arrested on allegations that she assaulted two cabin crew members, a police officer and a nurse. NBC News reports she faces two counts of second-degree assault and pleaded not guilty days ago.

BBC News reports her publicist said she has a neurological disorder that can trigger responses she cannot control. Fox News reports the representative also said authorities took her service dog, and that there is "much more to this story."

The Guardian reports the statement was lengthy. It called earlier media coverage unsympathetic and inaccurate. It singled out reports from several outlets alleging that Blair tried to open the plane's door.
