FBI Takes Action After Actress Accused Of Attacking Flight Attendants

A federal summons now hangs over actress Selma Blair after a Delta Air Lines flight on which two flight attendants were reportedly injured, at least one of them bitten. Custody came Sunday at JFK Airport, where the plane had just landed. Blair's representative says a medical emergency lay behind the alleged conduct, according to Daily Wire.

Per the Associated Press, the FBI's violation notice accuses Blair of assault under U.S. special maritime and territorial jurisdiction. Blair's initial Brooklyn federal court hearing remains unscheduled.

This is not Blair's first flight-related controversy. In 2016, Blair was taken off a Delta flight from Cancun, Mexico, to Los Angeles on a stretcher after crying and shouting in the first-class cabin. TMZ, citing witnesses, reported that wine and medication had been mixed. Two nurses reportedly searched Blair's bag for pills, and medical personnel boarded at LAX. The following day Blair told Vanity Fair of blacking out after mixing alcohol with medication, apologized to passengers and crew, and said the episode left Blair filled with shame.
