Selma Blair Faces Additional Assault Allegations After In-Flight Arrest
Assembled from 17 sources across the spectrum
Updated Oct 14, 8:04 AM ET: Blair was accused of kicking a police officer and a nurse at a hospital following her arrest at JFK.
Neutral Summary
Actress Selma Blair, arrested following an alleged attack on two Delta flight attendants during a cross-country flight to New York, was subsequently accused of kicking a police officer and a nurse at a Queens hospital after the plane landed. Her attorney has attributed the episode to missed doses of medication for multiple sclerosis, which counsel says triggered severe neurological symptoms. Blair has not been formally charged.
How the Left Frames It
Left-leaning outlets centered their coverage on establishing the sequence of events, detailing the allegations aboard the flight—including striking one flight attendant and biting another—and noting the FBI's involvement in the ongoing inquiry.
How the Right Frames It
Right-leaning outlets led with the full scope of the allegations, including the post-arrest incidents at the hospital where Blair is accused of kicking medical staff, and gave prominent attention to her attorney's explanation involving a missed MS medication regimen and a reported head injury.
