Selma Blair's team insists she did not try to open the plane door and calls doubts over her MS 'outrageous'
Selma Blair's spokesman says she lives with pseudobulbar affect, a neurological condition that affects how her medical episodes appear to onlookers. She relies on a service dog because of it, and her team says 'the authorities took her dog from her.' Her lawyer, Shawn Barnes, told a court she had missed medication for her multiple sclerosis. Her next court date is January 19.
Police say Blair bit a flight attendant on Delta Flight 938 from Los Angeles to JFK.
Her team blames coverage built on 'a police statement and a decade-old headline'.
Blair pleaded not guilty, posted $20,000 bail, and federal charges are still expected.
