00:02Actress Selma Blair is facing federal assault allegations after an incident aboard a flight
00:07in New York, and her representatives say a medical emergency is to blame. The 54-year-old
00:13actress, known for movies like Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde, was arrested Sunday night
00:18after her Delta flight landed at JFK. Police say she was physically abusive toward crew members,
00:24and two flight attendants reported injuries. One was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
00:29The FBI has since issued Blair a summons accusing her of assault. Her case will be handled in federal
00:35court in Brooklyn. No court date has been set. Blair's representative told TMZ she experienced
00:41a, quote, medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct, and that she's now in stable condition.
00:47In a statement, Delta said it has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety
00:53of our customers and crew always comes first. Blair had recently been sharing videos of her
00:58travels on Instagram. She's also been open about her battle with multiple sclerosis, which she was
01:04diagnosed with in 2018. This isn't her first incident on a flight, by the way. Back in 2016,
01:10she apologized for an outburst aboard a plane saying she had mixed alcohol with medication
01:15and blacked out.
