Less than a week after Selma Blair was arrested for allegedly attacking the crew of a cross-country Delta flight on Oct. 11, the ‘Legally Blonde’ actress’ rep shared a statement. “Since Sunday night, the public account of what happened to Selma aboard a flight to New York has been built almost entirely on a police statement and a decade-old headline," Blair’s rep told E! News Oct. 16, referring to the 54-year-old’s removal from a Delta flight following an outburst in 2016, for which she later apologized. "A handful of journalists have taken the time to report on Selma as a human being rather than a headline, and we are grateful to them.” The rep continued, “But fair reporting has been the exception, and in the space left by our silence, speculation has hardened into something being treated as fact. We can, however, correct the record on a few points already in public circulation.” So the ‘Cruel Intentions’ star’s team is hoping to set the record straight on what they say happened on the Oct. 11 flight from Los Angeles to New York City. "Selma Blair experienced a medical emergency on the flight," the rep said. "There was no attempt to open the door of the aircraft. Selma did not intend to harm anyone. The suggestion by anyone, that Selma does not have multiple sclerosis is outrageous. Her diagnosis has been public since 2018.” Beyond shutting down the rumor, the rep went on to emphasize the severity of Blair’s MS diagnosis. “What Selma has been able to do physically in the years since is nothing short of a miracle,” the rep continued. “She still has bad days, and she lives with pain daily. Selma also has pseudobulbar affect, a neurological condition secondary to her MS, which bears directly on how a medical episode presents to people who do not know her. For the same reason, she travels with a service dog who doesn’t leave her side, and the authorities took her dog from her.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1437007/selma-blairs-rep-breaks-silence-on-arrest-alleged-plane-attack
