Selma Blair has no plans on taking a break from her career despite her recent arrest.
“Selma has been very busy working,” a source exclusively told Page Six. “She hasn’t stopped. She was filming projects as recently as last week.”
The actress was flying from Los Angeles to New York “for work” on Sunday — the insider told us — when she was involved in an incident on a Delta Airlines flight where she allegedly assaulted two flight attendants.
“Prior to this incident, she was in a great headspace,” the source claimed. “Despite what happened, she is planning on getting back to filming her various projects. She has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.”
As she was being transported to a local hospital for her own treatment, Blair, 45, allegedly kicked a police officer and subsequently bit a nurse upon arrival.
The “Legally Blonde” star was placed under arrest and appeared in a Queens, New York court on Monday night. She was charged with two counts of second-degree assault.
The actress pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 19, 2027.
She faces two to seven years behind bars if convicted.
Immediately following the incident, a representative for the actress told Page Six, “Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct.”
Blair’s lawyers told the court that the incident was “not intentional.”
“Ms. Blair missed several doses of … a powerful medication that controls severe neurological symptoms,” one of her attorneys said of his client, who has been outspoken about her battle with multiple sclerosis.
Blair has several projects to look ahead to, as she is set to appear in “Schmoolie the Deathwatcher” and “Ethan Almighty.”
The “Cruel Intentions” star also has her capsule collection for lifestyle brand MERSEA, partnership with skincare line ESK, and her partnership with Benny’s Eyewear to keep her busy.
Despite everything going on, Blair isn’t shying away from the attention.
Blair is still confirmed to attend the 90s Con fan convention this weekend — where she will be taking selfies and signing autographs.
“She never misses a work commitment and she’s going to keep fulfilling them,” the source added to Page Six. “She’s not only acting, but has a ton of brand deals going on.”
A rep for Blair did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
