Selma Blair has been an open book when it comes to her health. The Legally Blonde actress and Dancing with the Stars alum revealed she’d been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2018, and by 2021, she was in remission. But the journey hasn’t been easy.
Over the past few years, Selma has had a few health hiccups, including an outburst on a 2016 flight. She later described it as a “big mistake” and attributed her behavior to accidentally mixing medication with alcohol.
“I made a big mistake yesterday,” Selma said at the time. “After a lovely trip with my son and his dad, I mixed alcohol with medication. “That caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret.”
But fast-forward to 2026, Selma was unfortunately arrested following an alleged violent mid-flight incident. She was accused of hitting and biting flight attendants. A rep for the actress released a statement about the ordeal.
“Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct,” the rep told Variety in October 2026. “Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.”
