[u/PatronSaintOfCunts]

If I’m in a plane and you’re trying to open the door, I have to fight you. That’s just the rule.

[u/slickrick_27 → u/PatronSaintOfCunts]

But also it’s physically impossible to open the door mid flight. So it makes me laugh even thinking of someone trying to do this.

[u/TheWitchCapricorn → u/slickrick_27]

True but many don't know this and it causes distress to the passengers who think they are about to be put in a dangerous situation.

[u/Aware-Impression8527 → u/PatronSaintOfCunts]

She's 5'2", maybe 120lbs, severely disabled and inebriated but they couldn't stop her????

[u/littlebruise → u/Aware-Impression8527]

She was biting ppl whenever they tried to stop her, most ppl want to avoid injuries (esp with biting, if a random person bites you i imagine you'd have to get a shot)

[u/lizzledizzles → u/littlebruise]

Human bites get infected very easily when skin is broken. You’re always supposed to go get urgent medical care and antibiotics to avoid cellulitis.

[u/MarieOMaryln → u/littlebruise]

Oral anitbiotics mostly unless you know the person who bit you has Hep B. Human bites carry aggressive bacteria and our blunt teeth causes crushing of the area instead of piercing, takes a bit longer to heal and more to clean.

[u/CheesecakeExpress → u/MarieOMaryln]

Funnily enough I was at the dr’s today (in the UK) and a lady was making an appointment for a tetanus jab as she’d been bitten by a child at work. So it seems here you get that too for human bites

[u/Potatoskins937492 → u/littlebruise]

Everyone is shocked she is biting people, but the thing is, if you've got a biter on your hands, you need to become the biter. It throws them off. I have no problem biting someone in self-defense. Fingers come off like baby carrots. Plus it freaks people out when you react with an open mouth, they don't want to come near you.

The things I've been taught to protect myself really make me sound like a psycho (aka Selma), but I don't even feel like leaving the house let alone biting someone. I'm just too tiiiired to do all that. I don't know where she gets the energy for that kind of behavior.

[u/jrubes_20 → u/Potatoskins937492]

Why can I not stop laughing at “fingers come off like baby carrots”?!

[u/Potatoskins937492 → u/jrubes_20]

Lol it's true! It's a fact that's both disgusting and sounds kind of adorable.

[u/threelizards → u/Potatoskins937492]

The craziest person in the fight is always the winner

[u/Adventurous_Fix1730 → u/littlebruise]

She sounds way more like a racoon than human. When I have had to rescue wild animals we know if cornered they’d likely bite their way out too.

[u/DefNotUnderrated → u/littlebruise]

Henry Rollins had a story of getting someone’s tooth lodged in his knuckles after punching them at a show for aggressive stage diving and his hand got super infected and he ended up in the hospital getting IV antibiotics.

[u/TablesofTime → u/Aware-Impression8527]

It's crazy what mixing meds with alcohol can do lol. Also if someone is going completely unhinged, I like to think of them as a cat that does not want to be picked up... they will do anything to get away and can seemingly go all 'no bones' and 'slippery' haha

[u/badgyalrey → u/Aware-Impression8527]

i mean it’s not like she got the door open, sounds like she was stopped somehow😅

[u/whiff_EK]

I used to work for a company that was trying to partner with her for some sort of campaign (it was not my division, I only knew about it through the people losing their minds trying to get it done) and like every week there was some new drama from her to the point that it became a running joke to how many emails got sent company-wide that were titled "re: Selma" so they started using "re:Selma" as a joke for 'this is going to be some exhausting bullshit'

[u/BaconAndDuckFat → u/whiff_EK]

Please give details of one crazy situation

[u/hedwiggy → u/[deleted]]

I don’t miss working in pharma advertising lol

[u/awake-asleep → u/hedwiggy]

As an Australian I’m never not jarred by the pharma advertising on tv when I travel to the US. It’s incessant. “Prescription only” pharma is not allowed to advertise in Australia.

[u/RoseGoldRedditor → u/[deleted]]

As a product marketer … this describes my every day at work 😂

[u/RaxaHuracan → u/RoseGoldRedditor]

Literally just got off a call where I had to tell the sales guys multiple times that we couldn’t put what they were asking for into a new piece because of [insert compliance requirement]

[u/paris_earth3 → u/RaxaHuracan]

God, my life as a product manager 😭 sometimes they’ve already sold it by the time I’m hearing about it

[u/RoseGoldRedditor → u/paris_earth3]

Omg should we form a support group? In my company, it is WILD how erroneous narratives form so fast 😭

[u/Rstuds7 → u/whiff_EK]

working with celebrities must be some of the most exhausting jobs on the planet

[u/killereverdeen → u/whiff_EK]

but did she bite you???

[u/LivelyUntidy → u/whiff_EK]

Ooh that's a great shorthand

[u/Prudent-Pressure2146 → u/whiff_EK]

Ooooh what sort of bullshit

[u/strangestkiss]

Apparently she has a history of biting people???

[u/PolPotbelly → u/strangestkiss]

In her memoir, “Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up,” released in 2022, Blair confesses to biting Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Seth Mac Farlane.

That's insane.

[u/noUr8eaten → u/PolPotbelly]

“As for why Blair felt the need to bite others, she writes that it is triggered by feeling “overwhelmed” in “social situations.””

So she’s a misbehaved toddler?

[u/ShartlesAndJames → u/noUr8eaten]

I do too, but just grind my teeth like a socially trained hairless monkey
wtf

[u/Existential_Spices → u/ShartlesAndJames]

Same here. All this time we could've been just biting random people!

[u/Chouxnicorn → u/noUr8eaten]

I give my toddler sensory straws/chews, maybe someone needs to get her some. Edit: if anyone needs some quality sensory chews check out the ark website. They sell all kinds of regular sensory toys and chews and well as the z-vibe which is great for kids that need feedback and that biting sensation.

[u/danicies → u/Chouxnicorn]

Ark therapeutic is amazing. And yeah, when my kid had issues with biting we started chewies at 2 and OT by 3 to get to the root issue.

Biting people as an adult and expecting it to be accepted due to being overwhelmed is insane.

[u/neon-antlers → u/noUr8eaten]

I used to have a corgi who did this, but at least he wasn’t a zionist

[u/Exact-Barracuda4095 → u/noUr8eaten]

She's a Mean Baby!

[u/Wise-Tourist-6747 → u/noUr8eaten]

I think she needs a muzzle if this is how she reacts. Sounds like a menace to society.

[u/UnimaginativeRA → u/noUr8eaten]

She needs to stay at home then. Wtf

[u/rudderlessbarge → u/PolPotbelly]

Is there a term for people who have been bitten by the same person?? Nibble siblings?

[u/brondynasty → u/rudderlessbarge]

“We’re nibblings.”

“No way! Who’s your mom?”

😒🌝
“Selma Blair.”

[u/poorly-worded → u/brondynasty]

"No way! Who's your mom nom?"

[u/Pheighthe → u/rudderlessbarge]

They’re all vampires now. Only way to kill them all is to kill the maker.

[u/tyleritis → u/PolPotbelly]

She’s selective on who she bites because she’s clearly never bitten someone who would knock those teeth out.

[u/violetskyeyes → u/tyleritis]

Moss did bite her back 😂

[u/insertcoolnamehere_7 → u/violetskyeyes]

Why am I not surprised? 😂

[u/Populaire_Necessaire → u/PolPotbelly]

She also admitted to being an alcoholic. Which 😬 what a combo

[u/My_Other_Car_is_Cats → u/Populaire_Necessaire]

I’ve never been bitten by a sober person.

[u/Weigleschocolatemilk → u/My_Other_Car_is_Cats]

Reading these comments I can’t believe how many people have been….bitten at all. I am not a violent person but I feel in my soul if an adult….bit….me I would hit them in the fucking face

[u/TheUnicornFightsOn → u/Weigleschocolatemilk]

It happened to me with my 40yo cousin with extreme PTSD.

I learned I should NOT try to hug or comfort her when triggered and instead give her plenty of space .. I had a bite mark on my arm for weeks.

I think it's a last-resort animalistic defense thing when the person feels overwhelmed/attacked even if not being physically attacked.

[u/fishonthemoon → u/Weigleschocolatemilk]

The thought of putting another persons body part (that isn’t my partner) in my mouth to bite them makes me want to gag lol.

[u/clumsyc → u/My_Other_Car_is_Cats]

I’ve been bitten by a sober person but it was a toddler.

[u/itsmymedicine → u/clumsyc]

Wow. So when a baby cries all night, throws up, bites everyone within distance, and then shits itself its fine....hes "sober" BUT when i do it im an alcoholic, unstable, needy, narcissistic psycho 🙄

[u/ProfessorGumble → u/clumsyc]

Toddlers basically just drunk ppl

https://giphy.com/gifs/hXD3cypLkycW1hQTFz

[u/EnoughAlreadyForever → u/clumsyc]

The classic game of "are they drunk? Or are they a toddler?"

Trick question here, she was kind of both.

[u/faipop → u/PolPotbelly]

Is she related to Luis Suarez?

[u/Zaasvil → u/PolPotbelly]

https://giphy.com/gifs/LyJ6KPlrFdKnK

[u/kris_jbb → u/PolPotbelly]

UM-

[u/clumsyc → u/strangestkiss]

And it’s also not her first time getting kicked off a flight. Girl!

[u/xombae → u/clumsyc]

Seems like she's drinking on Ambien. Ambien is fucking terrifying.

[u/foundinwonderland → u/xombae]

My mom is heavily addicted to ambien and Xanax. She buys them in Mexico, and also has switched her primary doctor in the states to a random Amazon clinic (???? Who even knew that was a thing) that will give her whatever she wants when she’s in the country (she is a chronic cruiser and is on a ship like 6 months out of the year) because her old primary refused to start writing the prescriptions when her old psychiatrist retired. She got very offended when she was referred to a new psychiatrist and they made her take a drug test. She will hear absolutely nobody that tries to tell her that her physical addiction to ever increasing doses is dangerous, or that her behavior is drug seeking. I feel so bad for doctors that have to interact with her.

[u/burnbunner → u/foundinwonderland]

This sounds rough, I'm so sorry.

[u/snoogle312 → u/xombae]

I have heard some absolutely insane stories involving Ambien from friends a d family. The craziest one involved sleepwalking out of the house, going to a bar and meeting some crazy chick, and ending up waking up on a couch in Arizona (he lived in San Diego at the time.) He had no recollection of anything past taking the pills and getting into bed. He was literally wearing pj bottoms and slippers the whole time.

[u/aintnofirehere → u/snoogle312]

Great cover up story 😂

[u/sensefuldrivel → u/[deleted]]

No, I am with him. I am Mrs... Iglesias

[u/Itchy-Ad1047 → u/xombae]

Ambien is certainly pretty crazy

If she really was mixing drinking with it while being in a public space where you're expected...obligated to not do stupid shit, that's just her being an idiot

[u/ThePermMustWait → u/xombae]

They gave me an ambien when I was pregnant and I had to take it at home. I thought the clothes in my closet were dancing. It was scary. It felt like what I imagine an LSD trip would feel like. I’ve never wanted to take it since. 

I do remember a doctor I worked with was addicted to it and would try to convince the techs to let her call ambien in under their name then sell it back to her. 

[u/Money-Computer7638 → u/ThePermMustWait]

I can't imagine being addicted to that stuff. Like you I had a terrible experience on it and never wanted to take it again. I remember (through a fog) thinking that being roofied must feel like this.

[u/uosdwis_r_rewoh → u/clumsyc]

I was wondering if I’ve travelled back in time somehow

[u/strangestkiss → u/clumsyc]

I guarantee it will be her last.

[u/lurkertiltheend → u/strangestkiss]

Fucking better be. No fly list this bitch

[u/SparkyDogPants → u/lurkertiltheend]

Normies only get one bite/open plane midair before no flying.

[u/infinityonhigh69 → u/strangestkiss]

and not just biting people, but biting people upon meeting them for the first time!! like she’s sunny from a series from unfortunate events omgg

[u/quickthorn_ → u/infinityonhigh69]

That is a deep cut omg ❤️ Baudelaires represent (Sunny was way more sensible than this crazy chick even in babyhood, honestly)

[u/TropicalPrairie → u/strangestkiss]

I don't really follow her closely but wtf?

[u/Consistent_Height748 → u/TropicalPrairie]

She's done it before:

"Selma Blair apologises for drunken outburst on a plane":

"The actress was on a flight from Cancun in Mexico to LA with her son and ex-boyfriend when she had to be subdued by two nurses".

https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-36596089

[u/SPFeveryday → u/Consistent_Height748]

She really needs to be banned from ever flying again!

[u/Not_Steve → u/SPFeveryday]

Why are we all so calm about people who disturb flights like this? There needs to be a lot more people on the no-fly list if they’re going to act this way. The chaos and confusion they cause prevent other travelers from being calm, prevent flight attendants from doing their jobs, and give pilots something to worry about besides flying the plane. Kicking people off the plane isn’t good enough anymore.

[u/gingerandjazzz → u/TropicalPrairie]

Yeah I read her book Mean Baby a couple of years ago and she talks about biting Kate Moss and a few other people because she’s “awkward in social situations”. Celebrity Memoir Book Club does a (snarky but accurate) break down of the book on their podcast if you’re interested.

[u/herroyalsadness → u/gingerandjazzz]

Wouldn’t biting make things more awkward?

[u/gingerandjazzz → u/herroyalsadness]

you’ll have to ask her

[u/YchYFi → u/TropicalPrairie]

She's always been this way. She just has a better PR than Tara Reid.

[u/Time-Cell9274 → u/YchYFi]

Has Tara ever been violent? I’ve always gotten the vibe Tara is just self-destructive (which, obviously not good) but between this and Selma’s political views… sounds much more offensive.

[u/MichaSound → u/Time-Cell9274]

I will always love Tara Reid for what she said after her boob accidentally fell out on a red carpet:

“The way people reacted, you would think my boob popped out and shot Gandhi.”

[u/Consistent_Height748 → u/Time-Cell9274]

I've never read any media reports indicating that Tara Reid was violent. She seems to have a drug issue but she doesn't seem to be aggressive. She was on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK years ago and she seemed to be more vulnerable than anything

[u/YchYFi → u/Time-Cell9274]

I was meaning more that Selma Blair has similar alcohol problems to Tara (minus the biting). Selma Blair's PR handled it better.

[u/Tatidanidean1 → u/strangestkiss]

I was like oh maybe her MS meds did something wonky to her then kept reading and see she’s bit many people and been kicked off planes before

[u/Novaer → u/strangestkiss]

She needs to get with Armie Hammer

[u/Apprehensive_Buy1500 → u/Novaer]

Yo the fuckin flair 😂😭😂😭😂😭

[u/BrownSugarBare → u/strangestkiss]

Wtf? Is she a dog???

[u/Adept-Courage5435 → u/strangestkiss]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ghuvaCOI6GOoTX0RmH

[u/IfatallyflawedI → u/strangestkiss]

What the fuck!???

[u/peeinherbut → u/strangestkiss]

Female version of Luis Suarez

[u/WeckedPissah → u/strangestkiss]

I got whiplash from reading that in the article

So it's not like this is her first time going off biting on people. This is a this is a natural reaction for her, but it sounds like maybe she had a bad reaction to a drug or got into a state of psychosis. That's kind of sad. I hope she's okay. That's like , I mean , she's now in a lot of trouble , you know

[u/joesbagofdonuts → u/WeckedPissah]

Biting is what children do. To me this suggests deep seated psychological issues

[u/DSQ → u/joesbagofdonuts]

Well children and  Luis Suárez. 

[u/chillguy44 → u/WeckedPissah]

I lost almost all sympathy reading the article. She has had an incident involving booze and medications that got her in trouble on the plane in the past and wrote about it in her memoir saying she needed to “grow up”(so much for that).
Also not only did she bite one attendant. She punched another, repeatedly kicked a cop in the ambulance in the head and even assaulted the nurse while at the hospital. Her team made a statement saying she had a medical emergency. GTFO with that, nobody has had a medical emergency that caused them to assault multiple people. She has federal and state charges, hopefully they throw the book at her.

[u/Amrun90 → u/chillguy44]

It is actually extremely possible to assault others during a medical emergency.

However, the chances are just about negative that’s what this is, I agree!

[u/EmpireCityRay]

As a Flight Attendant I gave my point:
https://www.reddit.com/r/entertainment/s/QsvIW63WJn
I’d add she’s looking at 4 insanely huge federal felonies here, 2 counts of assaulting Flight Attendants (when we’re on the clock, we’re federally protected); one count for attempting to breach the door and another for possibly (no info yet) on failure to comply with Flight Crew instructions. She’s fucked, I have no remorse for someone like that.

[u/imdrake100 → u/EmpireCityRay]

She kicked a cop in the head multiple times according to TMZ

11:05 AM PT -- We have more details ... One of the flight attendants sustained a laceration and the other a bite. We're told Blair was put in restraints on the plane and arrested upon landing. Law enforcement also tells TMZ when Blair was in the ambulance en route to the hospital, she repeatedly kicked a Port Authority police officer in the head

[u/katrinakt8 → u/imdrake100]

According to TMZ, she also assaulted a nurse upon arrival at the hospital.

[u/Mediocre-Proposal686 → u/katrinakt8]

And the nurse is filing charges!

[u/HereOnCompanyTime → u/imdrake100]

She's always been a known to be horrible within the industry, she got some public goodwill for speaking about her MS but she was still horrible behind the scenes and she's been mask off on her socials for a while now.

[u/malendalayla → u/imdrake100]

Ooooh did they duct tape her to the seat? I can't wait until the footage leaks.

[u/MedusaExceptWithCats → u/EmpireCityRay]

I've always thought people who try to open the plane door should be charged with attempted murder. Even if it's not physically possible, she attempted it, knowing the risk.

[u/Acceptable-Ninja-151 → u/MedusaExceptWithCats]

I remember for a good 10 years after 9/11 everything you did on a plane was terrorism. We've gone lax but the airport still sucks.

[u/KKSlider909 → u/EmpireCityRay]

she's MAGA, Trump will probably pardon her after she's convicted and sentenced.

[u/arightgoodworkman → u/KKSlider909]

Is she MAGA or just racist? They usually go hand in hand but IDK if she’s ever said she votes Republican. She likely will now.

[u/arightgoodworkman → u/EmpireCityRay]

Same same same. She’s also an Islamophobe who posts hateful rhetoric on her socials so 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/Stinkycheese8001]

Why is it so hard to just not bite people?

[u/SAHMultrA1981 → u/Stinkycheese8001]

Yo gabba gabba had a whole episode on

"DONT BITE YOUR FRIENDS"

[u/Rhythmalist → u/Stinkycheese8001]

[u/PugsPuggin → u/Stinkycheese8001]

A question I ask my toddler frequently

[u/Aggressive_Layer883 → u/Stinkycheese8001]

Pretty sure alcohol was involved

[u/Consistent_Height748 → u/Aggressive_Layer883]

She has form- previous 2016 incident:

https://www.tmz.com/2016/06/20/selma-blair-flight-drinking-stretcher-lax/

[u/DaLakeShoreStrangler → u/Aggressive_Layer883]

It's gotta be more than alcohol. I've been wasted and never want bite people, in fact I just want to sleep.

[u/Ok-Turnip-9035 → u/DaLakeShoreStrangler]

https://giphy.com/gifs/26n6PxXCcE7d1O7Go

[u/RedRidingCould → u/DaLakeShoreStrangler]

Sadly, as a recovering alcoholic, I can admit I'd try and bite from time to time when I was wasted. 16 years sober though!

[u/Time-Cell9274 → u/RedRidingCould]

Congrats on the 16 years!

[u/Ok-Turnip-9035 → u/Stinkycheese8001]

And stay away from the plane doors

TF stay away from the doors when on a plane people

Yall mess around too much

[u/One_Painting_5968]

If this eclipses the Kelly Clarkson Brooklyn bird drama, I swear to god…

[u/MissesMiyagii → u/One_Painting_5968]

Justice for Molly 🐥

[u/bluebirdsmallbird]

so we’re just going to gloss over the trying to open the plane door mid-air part?!?

what the hell is even that

[u/tacomamajama → u/bluebirdsmallbird]

I doubt she got close to achieving it. The door is hella hard to both open and close. Had a friend fail FA school because she couldn’t close the door on the first try. And they allowed no retries (DL). She had to redo all 6 weeks of training to get hired.

[u/KSouphanousinphone → u/tacomamajama]

Yeah, but it’s behavior likely to cause panic in other passengers. I would think that’s the actual rationale for the prohibition.

[u/LetshearitforNY → u/KSouphanousinphone]

Agree here! I’m an anxious flyer and this would have me turning off airplane mode and calling my family lol

[u/ravenscroft12 → u/tacomamajama]

I don’t think it’s possible to open it mid-air. It’s like +20K pounds of force.

[u/amgw402 → u/ravenscroft12]

You are correct. It would take about 25k lbs of force to push it open, and there are also automatic locking pins that engage when the plane reaches speeds above 92mph (so, they engage during takeoff, and remain engaged until the plane lands and goes below 92mph).

[u/bluebirdsmallbird → u/tacomamajama]

no no no I just think that’s weirder than the biting! and way more indicative of a mental health issue because who would do that?

biting, while deranged behavior, is really not out of the ordinary for someone if they have no other way to strike a person and they feel desperate/panicked/suffering from an episode of some sort. considering the article says the attacks happened after she tried to open the plane, I’m assuming they were restraining her or trying to calm her which led to being bitten

[u/Soggy_Competition614 → u/bluebirdsmallbird]

I actually can see someone trying to get the door open more than biting. You’re having a panic attack you need to get outside you’re not thinking clearly that you’re in the sky.

[u/mrbaryonyx → u/tacomamajama]

This comment makes me feel a lot better.

I often look at the door and think "it can't be that easy to open"

[u/ogresarelikeonions93]

[u/nunyodamn_bidness]

She did something like this before. Probably a mixture of pills and booze is my guess. How about she isn’t allowed to drink and fly anymore? Or how about a no fly list? I’m sure her privilege will result in her simply going home and being embarrassed for 3 days while this is in the news

[u/McNasty420 → u/nunyodamn_bidness]

It’s called Ambien and alcohol. Why people choose to do this on flights I will never understand.

[u/xombae → u/McNasty420]

Absolutely insane to take Ambien in public. Especially on a plane. What if there was an emergency, then what's your plan? Heaven forbid we need to be a little bit uncomfortable for a few hours, definitely need to medically tranquilize yourself.

[u/Muted_Quantity5786 → u/xombae]

FFS, in my experience it isn’t even safe to take it in your own house! I was prescribed Ambien for sleep (switching between day and night shifts constantly sucks balls) and one morning I woke up with 2 plastic bags filled with Smartwater in my bed with me. I recognized the shopping bags. They were from a small deli I always go to. I had no recollection of going to get the water bottles and it was scary because in order to get to this store I had to cross multiple streets and a very busy avenue. No, I didn’t drink alcohol or take anything else that night and I took the dose of Ambien when I was already in bed and ready to go to sleep like my doctor told me to. Never took it again.

[u/arightgoodworkman → u/Muted_Quantity5786]

When I first read the part before the deli, I imagined plastic bags filled just with water (like large water balloons) and thought “that’s a very impressive thing to do while blackout.”

[u/Alert-Painting1164 → u/arightgoodworkman]

That’s what I was thinking too. Like they’d made themselves “water pillows”

[u/Muted_Quantity5786 → u/Alert-Painting1164]

That could have been very comfy. If I ever try Ambien again because I suddenly hate myself, I’ll try making some.

[u/annakarina3 → u/nunyodamn_bidness]

Yes, and this was before her MS diagnosis, and it seemed related to her cognitive issues. But she’s had MS for years now, and biting someone is just asshole behavior, to say the least.

[u/Consistent_Height748 → u/annakarina3]

She should be charged with endangering the safety of other passengers on a flight. She can't keep pulling the same stunt over and over again

[u/BellaPona → u/nunyodamn_bidness]

So she’s the female Ezra Miller, she’s allowed to just run around terrorizing people as much as she wants?

[u/Far-Building3569]

This is completely unhinged

I really hope Selma faces actual consequences for the assault/reckless behavior and doesn’t just “get off” due to being rich

For those who are going to whine MS, 1 in 300 people have the condition in the US, and being violent is not a symptom of the neurological condition

Selma also basically owned up to being violent in her memoir Mean Baby by admitting she bit:

*Her childhood friend (Lizzie)

*Seth Macfarlane, Sienna Miller, Kate Moss (who allegedly bit back)

*Hitting a neighbor with a metal sprinkling rod

*Punching men in the groin at her grandfather’s funeral

She even got kicked off a flight in 2016 for belligerent behavior, and assaulted a police officer/hospital nurse the same day she assaulted the two flight attendants and tried to jump out of the plane

This is not new behavior from her 😬

[u/Dreamfinder82 → u/Far-Building3569]

I have MS and I have bitten zero flight attendants. I don’t think I’ve ever even thought about it.

[u/SecretScotsman → u/Dreamfinder82]

You have bitten zero flight attendants *yet

Idk why but I’m stuck on her having bit so many people. That 5, including the flight attendant. And from some of them being other celebrities, I’m assuming she’s done most of her biting as an adult?? How weird to be in your fifties and be accurately described as a biter like you’re a pre-schooler

Side note but imagine the airline HR having to write the workers’ comp incident report that Selma Blair bit an employee 😩

[u/zorandzam → u/ObviousAssist]

I'm in my fifties and can confidently say I have bitten no one since I was a literal child.

[u/prying_mantis → u/zorandzam]

Even in my wildest moments of outrage it would never occur to me to just bite someone. The idea is so bizarre.

[u/qweef_latina2021 → u/Far-Building3569]

A funeral without at least three dick punches is considered a dull affair.

[u/Ok-Dinner9759 → u/Far-Building3569]

Idk why but Kate Moss biting her back made laugh

[u/Salt-Prompt4022 → u/Far-Building3569]

I have MS and I too have never bitten anyone (except my cat - gently - because cute aggression)
I hate Selma Blaire and while I don’t wish this disease on anyone, I do hope we someday have a spokesperson that isn’t a total piece of shit.

[u/rickylancaster → u/Salt-Prompt4022]

I don’t think Christina Applegate sees herself as a spokesperson, but she is vocal and sometimes brutally honest and I suspect she is not a piece of shit.

[u/prying_mantis → u/rickylancaster]

Jamie-Lynn Sigler has MS and talks about it a lot, and she also does not seem to bite people

[u/Real_Life_Sushiroll → u/Salt-Prompt4022]

Have you punched men in the balls at funerals though? 😂

[u/carlitospig → u/Real_Life_Sushiroll]

This is what I did a double take at. MULTIPLE MEN were junk punched at this funeral?!

[u/dumbbxtch69 → u/Far-Building3569]

MS is associated with psychotic symptoms but it’s a rare occurrence. Psychosis is 2-3x more common in people with MS than in the general population. It’s a neurological disorder, so some people will develop neuropsychiatric symptoms. Obligatory statement that psychosis does not inherently mean someone is violent, though persistent paranoia/delusions/hallucinations can make people do things they’re not aware of or don’t realize the implications of.

That said, seems unlikely to be the cause here if she’s been…. like this… since she was a child.

[u/Spicyperfection]

She’s in the Biting Public Figures club, along with:

Mike Tyson , bit Evander Holyfield

Sanaa Lathan, bit Beyoncé

Martin Kove, bit Alicia Hannah-Kim

[u/Left-Hand-Dead → u/Spicyperfection]

Don’t forget serial biter Luis Suarez

[u/synalgo_12 → u/Left-Hand-Dead]

Probably one of the only people to get a contract worth millions that specifically mentioned he wasn't allowed to bite people anymore 

[u/mstrss9 → u/Spicyperfection]

I never heard this about Sanaa Lathan

[u/Gold-Engineer159]

5150??

[u/Valhallaback_Girl]

She has a history of biting people for over 20 years now. My aunt had MS and didn’t bite a single person. Blair is not a good person.

[u/Brilliant_Buns → u/Valhallaback_Girl]

I love the subtle suggestion that the MS could be what made her into a biter 🤣

[u/Low_Project_55]

Flight attendants do not get paid enough for the bullshit they have to deal with.

[u/TrashPandaPatronus]

Girl.

[u/JenningsWigService]

WHOA SHE'S A REPEAT BITER

"In her memoir, “Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up,” released in 2022, Blair confesses to biting Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Seth Mac Farlane."

[u/DenseTiger5088 → u/JenningsWigService]

Lol I’m dying to know how she framed this.

[u/fearthainne → u/DenseTiger5088]

Her explanations for why she bit all those people is so friggin weird too. She explains it like it's a totally normal thing to bite people when overwhelmed. WHAT

[u/catnippedx]

[u/Trick_Doughnut_6295]

And she thinks it’s antisemitism that prevents her from getting work? She’s a racist drunk who has a history of biting people. Wtaf?

[u/Pink_Cardinal]

Selma has a history of biting people, and mixing alcohol with medications.

Will this land her on the no-fly list?

[u/moisturized69tatas → u/Pink_Cardinal]

Maybe she gets special treatment because she's famous but im guessing if someone tries to open a plane door mid flight then attacks a flight attendant, both big time no no then yeah they not flying anymore.

[u/Adept-Courage5435]

If someone bit me I’d throw up, have a panic attack and sue. How we biting people in 2026.
https://giphy.com/gifs/ukGm72ZLZvYfS

[u/PigeonsInMyPocket → u/Adept-Courage5435]

That was my reaction too. Not condoning violence, but if I feel the need to defend myself, I'm certainly not opening my mouth and putting it on a stranger's body. I'm gagging just thinking about it.

[u/Jupiterrhapsody]

This isn’t the first time she has had bad/criminal behavior on a plane.

[u/xqueenfrostine]

WTF?? This feels like an Onion headline. And Page Six says one flight attendant was taken to the hospital?!

Guys, I'm starting to think that being anti-Muslim isn't what made her uncastable.

[u/merrymomiji → u/xqueenfrostine]

If I got bit while working, especially from a celeb, I'd sure as hell go to the hospital, too. I want my workman's comp case handled appropriately and get started on anti-whatever meds right away just to be safe. But yikes. I hope they are okay.

[u/Sleepyllama23 → u/xqueenfrostine]

If she broke the skin of the poor flight attendant, they would need shots to prevent nasty diseases including HIV, hepatitis etc. and maybe a dressing. Not a nice thing to deal with during your day at work.

[u/crimson777]

I think Selma Blair is a bad person. ALSO, I think it’s clear that she is mentally ill and needs help. You can say no she’s just an asshole but even assholes don’t try to open doors on flying planes.

[u/iamacheeto1]

I almost did this once when they ran out of the Biscoff cookies before getting to my row

[u/whiff_EK → u/iamacheeto1]

I once asked the flight attendant for the biscoff because I got skipped and he gave me the purest most evil side-eye and I couldn't figure out why. Turned out my brain completely auto-piloted receiving the cookies the first time and I had stowed them away, then told him to his face he skipped me. I was dying of embarrassment, I truly thought I got skipped and then ended up conning him for a second packet.

edit: I did apologize but there's no shot in hell he believed me and I did eat both packets

[u/aIvins_hot_juicebox]

I lost respect for her after she became MAGA

[u/Few-Gap-2350]

My dad has MS and when he got diagnosed, they told him specifically he need to stop drinking alcohol. Definitely with the medication he was on, but also just how it can affect you and how you deal with MS.

[u/NOLA-q]

No excuse. She should be banned from flying. Sorry not sorry. She did this before. wtf?

[u/LaurenGrisly]

I listened to Celebrity Memoir Book Clubs episode on her autobiography and she tells on herself in grand style. A really shitty person.

[u/VexedCanadian84]

I wonder why nobody wants to hire her

[u/RoseGoldRedditor]

Today in headlines I never thought I’d read …

I will take this over the hellscape of true headlines that the last decade has provided though

I hope the flight attendant is okay!

[u/Floptropica2026]

Excuses are always made despite her long long history of being a horrible person in every aspect of her life. But she’s always the victim.

same Salma who praised Charlie Kirk for “using logic to have dialogue.“ Not at all surprised she bites people.

[u/lulu-zurker → u/Aggressive-Hunt-7037]

She was trying to have dialogue!

This is a bad, bad, dangerous person and I’m not even talking about her biting people.
