Yesterday we reported on stories circulating about actress Selma Blair being removed from a flight to Los Angeles after an emotional outburst.
TMZ originally reported the story, saying that witnesses saw Blair ‘mix something into a glass of wine’. Shortly after this, she burst into tears, and was yelling,
“He burns my private parts. He won’t let me eat or drink.He beats me. He’s going to kill me.”
She was treated by medical staff when the flight landed, and was taken off the plane on a stretcher and rushed to a nearby hospital.
She was travelling home from Cancun after spending Father’s Day with her son Arthur Saint Bleick and his father, her ex-partner Jason Bleick.
She had previously posted an image to Instagram on a flight to Mexico a few days earlier, seeming in good spirits:
She’s now made a statement exclusively to Vanity Fair, apologising for her actions:
“I made a big mistake yesterday.After a lovely trip with my son and his Dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret.My son was with his Dad asleep with his headphones on, so there is that saving grace.I take this very seriously, and I apologize to all of the passengers and crew that I disturbed and am thankful to all of the people who helped me in the aftermath.I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes and am filled with shame over this incident. I am truly very sorry.”
