Following an incident on a Delta flight, Selma Blair was accused of a mid-air confrontation. The situation reportedly became serious enough that the pilots requested medical assistance once the plane landed.
Blair’s legal team said she had missed several doses of a powerful medication that controls severe neurological symptoms. They also noted she had sustained a head injury before the flight, factors they argue contributed to her behavior.
Blair appeared in a New York City court where she was arraigned on two felony counts of second-degree assault. The proceeding took place before Judge Indira Khan.
Judge Khan set Blair’s bail at $20,000 in cash or, alternatively, a $60,000 bond.
