Selma Blair pleaded not guilty on October 14, 2026 to two felony assault charges stemming from an alleged mid-air meltdown that included biting a flight attendant and kicking a police officer and a hospital nurse. She faces a possible sentence of two to seven years, and a flight attendant's restraining order and a nurse's stay-away order run for a year. The district attorney has confirmed no restrictions bar her from traveling out of state before her January 19 court date. Her attorney cited exhaustion, a head injury and missed medication.
