Selma Blair was off ‘powerful’ meds and ‘severely confused’ during mid-air meltdown, lawyer says, as she’s released on bail

Selma Blair had allegedly missed multiple doses of medication before her shocking alleged mid-air confrontation on Sunday.

Her attorneys told the New York Post on Monday that Blair had allegedly hit her head before the confrontation.

The 54-year-old actress was pictured leaving court on Monday after she was arraigned on two felony charges in the wake of an alleged mid-air fight with airline employees and passengers.

Blair was seen being swarmed by reporters as police and attorneys led her out of the courthouse in New York City after she made bail.

According to Page Six, Judge Indira Khan set Blair’s bail at $20,000 in cash, or a $60,000 bond or partially secured bond, after she was arrested for allegedly attacking members of the flight crew aboard a Delta aircraft on Sunday, which left distressed pilots asking for ‘medical help’ as they landed.

She had been arraigned before Judge Khan on two felony counts of second-degree assault after allegedly attacking a flight attendant, as well as a Port Authority police officer.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Blair’s attorneys and representatives for comment but has not yet received a response.

Her lawyer Shawn Barnes told the court on Monday, according to the outlet, ‘This was not an intentional assault. Ms. Blair missed several doses of … a powerful medication that controls severe neurological symptoms.’

Barnes said Blair had traveled to New York City after a long workday, and also was injured on the flight.

‘Ms. Blair boarded this flight after being on set and working extensive hours and exhaustive hours in the days leading up to this flight,’ Barnes said. ‘Additionally, at one point, during the flight, there was an incident where Miss Blair actually fell and hit her head.’

Barnes said that ‘these factors, coupled with the altitude, resulted in a state of severe confusion and disorientation’ in the incident.
