Selma Blair will still appear at the Connecticut fan convention 90s Con.
The Cruel Intentions alum will be signing autographs and snapping selfies with fans, days after her in-flight arrest.
Blair pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree assault in a New York court on Monday.
Selma Blair won’t let a little in-flight arrest change her plans.
After being arrested and hospitalized following an alleged Oct. 11 confrontation with flight attendants on a Delta Airlines flight, the Legally Blonde actress is still scheduled to appear at the pop culture fan convention 90s Con, which takes place in Hartford, Conn., from Oct. 16 to Oct. 18.
That’s4Entertainment, which organizes the yearly event, confirmed Blair’s attendance in an Oct. 12 Instagram post, writing, “Selma Blair will be joining us at 90s Con as planned. See you there!”
The organization previously announced that Blair would be available for autographs, selfies, and professional photo ops, in addition to taking part in a Q&A panel. However, when the schedule of panels was released on Oct. 11 — prior to her arrest — Blair’s name was not included. After a commenter inquired about her participation, That’s4Entertainment wrote that the actress had “elected to spend more time at table to meet fans.”

Blair, who achieved her breakthrough in the ‘90s with Cruel Intentions, will be signing autographs and taking selfies with fans for $60 each. Other 90s Con attendees include Full House star John Stamos, ex-NSYNC crooner Joey Fatone, and Melrose Place alum Heather Locklear.

Blair was arrested on Sunday and accused of attacking a flight attendant, a Port Authority police officer, and a hospital nurse during and after a flight from Los Angeles International Airport to John K. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
Blair was aboard the Delta Airlines flight when she experienced what her rep described as a “medical emergency,” during which she allegedly bit one flight attendant and punched another one.
The New York Port Authority confirmed the incident to Entertainment Weekly, saying the PAPD responded to a call about “a physically abusive passenger aboard Delta Airlines flight 938” at approximately 11 p.m. ET.

“Suspect was identified as Selma Blair, a 54 year-old woman,” continued the statement. “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.”
Delta Airlines also shared a statement with EW, noting its “zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.”

Blair appeared in Queens Criminal Court on Monday for her arraignment. The actress’ lawyers told the judge the incident was partly because she didn’t take the medication prescribed to treat her multiple sclerosis, and also claimed she had fallen and hit her head on board the flight.

Blair faces two counts of assault in the second degree, according to court records viewed by Entertainment Weekly. She pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on bond, which Judge Indira Khan set at $20,000 cash, $60,000 bond, or a $60,000 partially secured bond, Page Six reported.
If convicted, she could serve two to seven years in prison. Her next court appearance is set for Jan. 19, 2027.
Blair was previously a part of another in-flight incident in 2016 after accidentally mixing medication with alcohol on a flight from Cancun to Los Angeles.
