Actress Selma Blair is facing assault charges following an alleged incident aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York and two subsequent encounters with authorities and medical staff.

According to court documents, the 54-year-old actress allegedly kicked a Port Authority police officer while being transferred to an ambulance at JFK Airport. She is also accused of kicking nurse Ashley DeLeo in the chest at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center hours later. The officer and nurse reportedly experienced pain, with the officer also suffering jaw swelling.

Blair appeared in court Monday, facing two counts of second-degree assault. Judge Indira Kahn expressed concern about public safety, stating, “I do believe she poses a risk.” The judge ordered $20,000 bail.

Blair’s representative said she experienced a medical emergency during the flight and was receiving medical care. Her attorney, Shawn Barnes, argued the alleged actions were unintentional, citing missed medication doses, exhaustion and confusion.

Blair was released on bond and is expected to return to court in January. The allegations have not been proven in court.
