Selma Blair gave insight into her mindset in odd Instagram exchange ahead of in-flight biting incident

Selma Blair admitted she was “not great” before her alleged violent outburst aboard a Delta flight.

Prior to the New York-bound flight Sunday, the actress “liked” a fan’s comment, which read, “I’m so happy you [sic] feeling great and doing great and making new memories!”

However, Blair responded, “I’m. It [sic] great. I’m sad. I’m grateful. I hope. I am not great.”

The “Legally Blonde” star also posted content to Instagram while aboard the plane — just moments before she was arrested for allegedly injuring multiple flight attendants.

She shared a foggy aerial view from her airplane seat in her post, which featured a montage of content set to the Pixies’ “Wave of Mutilation.”

Other shots included her smiling in selfies and with friends, and pics of her dog, Scout.

“From LA to New Mexico to La to nyc to LA Scout and I have been busy. I miss you,” the 54-year-old captioned the post.

As Page Six reported Monday, Blair allegedly punched one flight attendant and bit another on a Delta Airlines flight on the way to John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Per 911 audio, a pilot called for medical assistance and law enforcement to be on hand when the plane landed to help with an “abusive” passenger.

The pilot reported that some injuries on board included “a bloody nose and some bite marks.”

Blair was reportedly put in restraints on the plane and arrested upon landing. While in the ambulance en route to the hospital, she allegedly repeatedly kicked a Port Authority police officer in the head.

Once at the hospital, the “Cruel Intentions” star allegedly assaulted a nurse, who has pressed charges.

Blair’s rep told Page Six that “Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.”

On Monday night, Blair entered a not guilty plea after being charged with two counts of second-degree assault.

She is facing two to seven years behind bars if convicted.

Blair is represented by defense attorneys Shawn Barnes and Joshua Reitzas, who argued their client had missed her medication prescribed to treat her multiple sclerosis and had also fallen and hit her head.

“This was not an intentional assault,” Barnes said in court.

Blair was released on bail and her case was adjourned until Jan. 19, 2027.
