Selma Blair has a bizarre history of biting celebrities — including Sienna Miller, Seth MacFarlane, and Kate Moss — before her violent plane incidenton Sunday, in which she allegedly bit a flight attendant.
In her 2022 memoir, “Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up,” Blair explains that her biting habitstemmed from feeling “overwhelmed” in public.
“My system gets overwhelmed and instantaneously short-circuits…In my life, social interactions have been cumbersome,” Blair writes in the book.
She first describes sinking her teeth into Sienna Miller at the Chateau Marmont in 2006, after she introduced herself to the fellow actress.
“I couldn‘t begrudge her for any part she was winning over me,” Blair writes. “So, I grabbed her arm and bit it, playfully, as if it were an apple. Even as I held her forearm in my mouth I was aghast at myself. I thought, What have I gotten myself into? Or her? This is horrible behavior.”
Thankfully, however, the “Cruel Intentions” star recalls that Miller didn’t “shame” her for the incident, labeling her as “the belle of the ball” for her reaction.
She also bit “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane after she was invited out to a Las Vegas gathering by new friend Scarlett Johansson in 2004.
Blair, who has struggled with alcoholism in the past, explains that she became “starstruck” when introduced to the writer at a Vegas club.
“What do I do in public situations where I admire someone, but feel as if I don’t bring anything to the party? I bit him on the hand. ‘Whoa!’ he yelled. ‘That really hurt.’ It wasn’t a disaster; I didn’t break skin. But I soon hated myself,” Blair writes of the incident.
She also bit supermodel Kate Moss while hanging out with her and a few others in a London hotel suite following a Marc Jacobs fashion show.
The “Legally Blonde” actress recalls taking polaroid pictures with the model, when she decided to take a bite out of Moss’ finger, which was met with a laugh.
“And because she laughed, I did it again,” Blair writes. “The second time, she did not laugh and exclaimed, ‘That really f–king hurt!’” The Calvin Klein model then punched Blair in the back and grabbed the actress’ thumb “and crunched right into it.”
“This was the first time I had any inkling of how much I might hurt people when I bit them,” Blair continues. “Immediately, I transformed into a shamed nursery school kid. ‘Oh my gosh,’ I whispered, ‘I am so sorry.’”
The actress was arrested on Oct. 11 after allegedly biting one flight attendant and punching another on a Delta Airlines flight on its way to John F. Kennedy International Airport. She purportedly attacked the crew members after trying to open the plane door mid-flight.
The actress, who is in remission from multiple sclerosis, was reportedly put in restraints on the plane and arrested upon landing. In the 911 dispatch, obtained by TMZ, the pilot claimed that the “disruptive passenger” had “bashed her head on the bulkhead.”
Blair allegedly kicked a Port Authority police officer in the head while she was in the ambulance on her way to the hospital.
Once in the hospital, the actress allegedly assaulted a nurse, who has pressed charges.
Sources told Page Six that Blair — who had a plane meltdown 10 years ago as well — has been hit with multiple charges, which includes two counts of assault for kicking the cop and attacking the nurse, as well as another, separate charge for the event on the plane.
Her rep told Page Six, “Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.”
“Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first,” a spokesperson for the airline told Page Six in a statement Monday.
The FBI is currently investigating the incident.
