Selma Blair's rep speaks out after star's arrest: 'Much more to this story'

Selma Blair is speaking out for the first time since her arrest.

On Friday, Blair's representative issued a lengthy statement to People , saying the actress "did not intend to harm anyone." "Since Sunday night, the public account of what happened to Selma aboard a flight to New York has been built almost entirely on a police statement and a decade-old headline," the spokesperson said.

"A handful of journalists have taken the time to report on Selma as a human being rather than a headline, and we are grateful to them," the statement continued.

"But fair reporting has been the exception, and in the space left by our silence, speculation has hardened into something being treated as fact.

We can, however, correct the record on a few points already in public circulation.

Selma Blair experienced a medical emergency on the flight.

There was no attempt to open the door of the aircraft.

Selma did not intend to harm anyone." SELMA BLAIR ARRESTED AFTER IN-FLIGHT INCIDENT In 2018, Blair revealed publicly that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis , an autoimmune disease.

"The suggestion by anyone that Selma does not have multiple sclerosis is outrageous.

Her diagnosis has been public since 2018.

What Selma has been able to do physically in the years since is nothing short of a miracle.

She still has bad days, and she lives with pain daily," the statement continued.

"Selma also has pseudobulbar affect, a neurological condition secondary to her MS, which bears directly on how a medical episode presents to people who do not know her.

For the same reason, she travels with a service dog who doesn’t leave her side, and the authorities took her dog from her." Blair's rep went on to share the list of projects the star has been involved in this year.
