Selma Blair released from jail as she faces up to 7 years in prison for violent airplane incident

Make Page Six a Preferred Source Selma Blair was released on bail following her alleged violent outburst aboard a Delta flight.

The “Legally Blonde” star, 54, is facing two to seven years behind bars if convicted.

Blair appeared before Judge Indira Kahn, who set bail at $20,000 cash, $60,000 bond or a $60,000 partially secured bond, Page Six has learned.

Blair is represented by defense attorneys Shawn Barnes and Joshua Retzus.

Her case was adjourned until Jan. 19, 2027, and a judge granted an order of protection to the hospital nurse Blair allegedly assaulted.

The actress was arrested Sunday after allegedly punching one flight attendant, biting another and attempting to open the aircraft’s door while traveling from Los Angeles to New York City, Page Six previously reported.

The incident unfolded aboard a Delta flight arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where law enforcement officers were waiting when the plane landed.

Blair was restrained aboard the aircraft and taken into custody after landing. She was subsequently transported by ambulance to a hospital for evaluation.

While en route, Blair allegedly repeatedly kicked a Port Authority police officer in the head. Once at the hospital, she allegedly assaulted a nurse, who later pressed charges.

Blair faces federal assault allegations related to the alleged in-flight incident, in addition to the two state assault charges stemming from the alleged attacks on the officer and nurse.

A representative for the actress told Page Six that Blair experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct.

“Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition,” the representative said. Delta also condemned the alleged behavior, telling Page Six that the airline has “zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.”

The FBI is investigating the alleged assault aboard the aircraft.
