Selma Blair arrested for allegedly slugging flight attendant, biting another on NYC-bound flight; FBI investigating

Actress Selma Blair was busted on a JFK-bound Delta Airlines flight after slugging one flight attendant, biting another and trying to open the aircraft’s door midflight, authorities said.

The “Cruel Intentions” actress was shipped off to a local hospital for evaluation after the high-flying meltdown on Sunday after the flight touched down at the Queens airport, the Port Authority Police Department said.

No criminal charges have been announced but the FBI is reviewing the incident, police said.

Two flight attendants also reported injuries, with one taken to a local hospital for evaluation, cops said.

Blair, 54, whose film credits also include “Legally Blonde” and “Hellboy,” has seen her career hampered following an anti-Islamic Instagram post in 2024.

The controversial actress has been called out for bizarre behavior in the past, and admitted in her 2022 memoir, “Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up,” that she’s bitten several stars in the past, including Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Seth MacFarlane.

According to TMZ, she had at least one other airline meltdown, when she went nuts on a flight in 2016 and had to be removed on a stretcher.
