Story summary
On October 11, actress Selma Blair was arrested after an incident aboard Delta Airlines flight 938 from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). According to authorities, Blair slugged one flight attendant and bit another during the flight; she also attempted to open the aircraft's door mid-flight before being restrained by crew members. Upon landing at JFK in Queens, New York, two flight attendants reported injuries, with one needing medical evaluation and hospitalization.
Blair, 54, was transported to a local hospital for evaluation but no criminal charges have been announced yet; the FBI is currently investigating the incident. Delta Airlines stated they have "zero tolerance" for unruly behavior that endangers customer and crew safety. Blair's representatives claimed she experienced a medical emergency which led to her alleged misconduct.
This isn't the first time Blair has faced controversy for disruptive behavior; in 2016, another in-flight incident required her removal on a stretcher, and in 2024, she posted an anti-Islamic message on Instagram that negatively impacted her career.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
