'I Made A Big Mistake:' Selma Blair Apologizes For Airplane Outburst

LOS ANGELES (CBSNewYork/AP) — Selma Blair is apologizing for her outburst on a flight.

The actress says in a statement to Vanity Fair that she mixed alcohol with medication which caused her to black out and make statements that she regrets on a Monday flight from Cancun to Los Angeles.

"I made a big mistake yesterday," Blair told Vanity Fair. "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."

TMZ reported Blair was crying and talking about an abusive man. The site says she was attended to by nurses on the plane and taken off on a stretcher at Los Angeles International Airport.

Blair said the "one saving grace" is that her four-year-old son was sitting with his father and wearing headphones during the incident, causing him to miss her outburst completely.

A spokeswoman for the "Cruel Intentions" and "Legally Blonde" actress has not responded to requests for comment about the incident or statement.
