Selma Blair Shows Up at 90s Con Days After Plane Arrest: What We Know

Selma Blair made good on her promise to fans, appearing at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, on Friday, October 16, just five days after she was arrested following allegations she assaulted flight attendants on a plane. She pleaded not guilty at a Monday hearing and was released on bond. Organizers with That’s 4 Entertainment confirmed she’d remain on the schedule, and photos from the convention show her smiling and posing with fans, including influencer Brad Deiter.

Her spokesperson says the incident was tied to a medical emergency involving missed doses of her multiple sclerosis medication, stating that Selma did not intend to harm anyone. The rep also said there is much more to this story than has been reported and asked people to consider the entirety of the facts before rushing to judgment. The spokesperson further noted that authorities took her service dog from her during the incident.

Blair is scheduled for her next hearing on January 19, 2027. In the meantime, the story is raising bigger questions about disability awareness, how medical episodes are handled in public settings, and how quickly the internet forms its verdict.
