We can't imagine this was easy to admit!
Selma Blair finally released a statement following her bizarre flight incident, and the actress sounds genuinely shaken and mortified.
"I made a big mistake yesterday. After a lovely trip with my son and his dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret. My son was with his dad asleep with his headphones on, so there is that saving grace. I take this very seriously, and I apologize to all of the passengers and crew that I disturbed and am thankful to all of the people who helped me in the aftermath. I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes and am filled with shame over this incident. I am truly very sorry," she said in a statement to Vanity Fair.
In case you've been hiding under a rock and haven't seen the story, the Anger Management star was returning from a vacation in Cancun with her son Arthur and ex Jason Bleick when the incident occurred.
Blair allegedly drank lots of wine during the flight and was seen mixing some sort of medication with her alcohol before becoming belligerent. She reportedly screamed "He burns my private parts. He won't let me eat or drink. He beats me. He's going to kill me," TMZ reported. A pilot reportedly radioed ahead to ground crew to have EMTs on hand as soon as they landed, whereby medical personnel boarded the plane and carried Blair off on a stretcher. So mortifying.
It must be so hard dealing with something like this in the public eye!
