Selma Blair Charged With Felony Assault, Her Lawyer Says It Was a Medical Emergency, Tyreek Hill Testifies, Brand Jury Warned Off Podcasts

Actress Selma Blair, 54, pleaded not guilty Monday in Queens Criminal Court to two counts of second-degree assault under New York Penal Law 120.05(3), after an incident on Delta Flight 938 from Los Angeles to JFK on Sunday night. According to charging documents, a Port Authority officer securing Blair to a stretcher said she freed a leg and kicked her repeatedly, and a nurse at Jamaica Hospital said Blair kicked her in the chest — the state charges concern what happened after the flight, not during it. Law enforcement sources told CBS and CNN that Blair tried to open a cabin door and that two flight attendants were injured; the FBI has issued a notice charging her in connection with the flight itself, which falls under federal jurisdiction. Her attorney Shawn Barnes told the court the conduct was not intentional, citing missed doses of a medication controlling severe neurological symptoms and a head injury during the flight. Bail was set at $20,000 cash or $60,000 bond; her next court date is Jan. 19, 2027. Also: Tyreek Hill testified in the Miami civil trial that he is ashamed of how he spoke to his estranged wife while denying he ever physically hurt her. And a jury of 13 was sworn in for Russell Brand's trial in London; he denies all seven charges. Garret Fisher reports.
