Selma Blair rushed to hospital after plane 'outburst'
Actress Selma Blair was rushed to hospital earlier this week after experiencing what's been described by various reports as an 'outburst', following a mixture of prescription medication and alcohol on board a flight that was headed to LAX from Cancun, Mexico. Her 4-year-old son, Arthur Saint, was travelling with her.
The pair were on their way home from a trip where they celebrated Father's Day with her son's father, Jason Bleick.
A source tells People, “She was met by paramedics at LAX as soon as her plane arrived... It looks like she had taken a combination of prescription medication with alcohol. We don’t know what sort of prescription medications.”
Onlookers who were also in first class alongside Blair reported to TMZ that she had been drinking wine when she began to cry and share her fears regarding a relationship with an unnamed man with fellow passengers. Allegedly, she said:

“He burns my private parts. He won’t let me eat or drink,” she reportedly said. “He beats me. He’s going to kill me." It's not yet known if this story of what she said was fabricated and sold to the press for money by a fellow passenger.
The Internet has been quick to react, leaving comments under her Instagram post about the alleged incident, some messages of support, others, unsurprisingly, of judgement.
Blair's people have yet to comment. We hope she gets well soon.
