- Selma Blair experienced a 'medical emergency' on a flight, according to a statement from her representatives, which led to the incident that resulted in her arrest.
- Blair was arrested on allegations that she assaulted a pair of cabin crew members during the flight.
- Blair also allegedly assaulted a police officer and a nurse in connection with the incident, according to the source.
- Blair's representatives said she 'did not intend to harm anyone' during the episode.
Why it matters: If the medical-emergency framing holds, Blair's assault charges could be complicated by questions of intent and capacity, potentially affecting how prosecutors and the airline pursue the case against a high-profile actor whose public image now intersects with the legal proceedings.
