Selma Blair's team says no intent to harm during LA to New York flight incident

Selma Blair, who has multiple sclerosis and is based in Los Angeles, was involved in an incident on a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York, according to the Yakima Herald. During the flight, Blair experienced a medical emergency that led to accusations of injuring two flight attendants and later kicking a police officer and a nurse.

Her representatives stated that Blair did not intend to harm anyone during the incident, emphasizing that her medical condition can cause episodes that may be misunderstood, as reported by multiple outlets including the Yakima Herald and WGAA Radio.

Blair pleaded not guilty to assault charges and is currently free on bail. The FBI has also charged her with assault related to the actions on the plane, according to the Yakima Herald.

Blair has been a vocal advocate for disability rights and her representatives have sought to clarify that the incident was related to her medical emergency rather than intentional harm, stated in reports from several news sources.

The case is ongoing, with legal proceedings continuing after her arraignment in New York. Local Los Angeles residents may follow updates due to Blair's connection to the area and the flight's origin city.
