Actress Selma Blair is apologizing after allegedly assaulting flight attendants during an incident aboard a Delta flight earlier this month, including an apparent attempt to open one of the aircraft's doors.
According to Fox News, the 54-year-old actress addressed the incident Friday in an emotional video posted to Instagram, expressing remorse toward those who were affected.
Blair acknowledged that her attorneys had advised her against discussing the matter because of the ongoing legal proceedings. However, she offered a brief statement expressing regret over what happened.
"Not one day ever have I intended to hurt or frighten anyone a day in my life," Blair said.
She then addressed those who may have been affected by the incident, adding, "And so to the people I disappointed, that I hurt, I frightened, alarmed, I am so sorry."
Blair also indicated that she would be stepping back to focus on her personal well-being and her family.
She said she would be taking care of her health and her son, while expressing gratitude and affection toward those who have supported her.
The actress was arrested on an assault charge following the reported incident involving Delta flight attendants.
Her public apology marks her first direct response to the incident, although she stopped short of discussing the specific allegations or offering an account of what transpired aboard the aircraft.
The legal matter remains ongoing, and further details about the case have not yet been provided.
