Selma Blair Pleads Not Guilty to Assault Charges After Delta Flight
Actress Selma Blair has pleaded not guilty to assault charges following an incident on a Delta flight where she allegedly attacked flight attendants and medical staff. She was released on bail after a court appearance in New York.
Why it matters
High-profile legal cases involving public figures often draw attention to airline safety protocols and mental health in public spaces.
Selma Blair pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault at a Monday evening court appearance in Queens, New York less than 24 hours after the actress was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport for an allegedly violent outburst on a Delta flight that injured two flight attendants and sent one to the hospital. Blair is also set to face separate charges from the FBI as the agency is responsible for investigating all assaults aboard aircraft.
