A Port Authority spokesperson told RadarOnline.com that the "PAPD responded to a call about a physically abusive passenger aboard Delta Airlines flight 938 which was parked at the gate after arrival from LAX. The suspect was identified as Selma Blair, a 54-year-old woman. She was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for evaluation. Two flight attendants also reported injuries, and one was transported to the hospital for further evaluation. The FBI is investigating this incident."

My son was with his Dad, asleep with his headphones on, so there is that saving grace," she told Vanity Fair at the time.

I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes and am filled with shame over this incident. I am truly very sorry."
