Selma Blair Apologizes for Plane Incident: ‘I Am So Sorry’
Selma Blair issued a video apology on Friday for the Oct. 11 incident in which she allegedly injured a flight attendant and kicked a nurse after being removed from a plane at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Blair, 54, is facing two state charges of 2nd-degree assault for the alleged attacks on the nurse and a Port Authority officer.
In a video posted to Instagram, the “Cruel Intentions” and “Legally Blonde” actress said she had been advised by her attorneys not to say much about the case.
“What I can tell you, though, is very simple, and the truest thing I know about myself, and that not one day ever have I intended to hurt or frighten anyone a day in my life,” she said. “And so to the people that I disappointed, that I hurt, I frightened, alarmed: I am so sorry.”
Blair’s reps have previously blamed a “medical emergency” for the episode aboard the flight from L.A. to New York.
Blair was released from custody on $20,000 bail the following day. Blair’s attorney, Shawn Barnes, said in court that she had gotten on the flight after missing several doses of a drug that controls neurological symptoms. She also fell and hit her head during the flight.
“These factors, your honor, coupled with the altitude, resulted in a state of severe confusion and disorientation,” Barnes said. “Ms. Blair did not get on that plane intending for any of this.”
Blair is due back in court in Queens on Jan. 19.
