Selma Blair has apologised following an incident on a flight from Los Angeles to New York on October 11 and pleaded not guilty to assault charges.

Selma Blair has apologised for an incident on a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York on October 11, saying she never intended to hurt or frighten anyone. The 54-year-old actress has pleaded not guilty to assault charges alleging she kicked a nurse and a police officer. Her representatives said her alleged behaviour stemmed from a severe medical emergency.

In a video posted to Instagram, Blair said she had been quiet for a couple of weeks because there was a legal matter ongoing and her lawyers had asked her not to comment on that day. She said: "The very simple and the truest thing I know about myself is that not one day ever have I intended to hurt or frighten anyone. And so to the people that I disappointed, that I hurt, I frightened, that I alarmed, I am so sorry."

Blairwas detained by police when the flight landed in New York and taken to hospital for evaluation. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018 and has a service dog named Scout, whom she assured fans was doing well following the incident.
