Her words online
In a social media comment the actress wrote, "I'm sad. I'm grateful. I hope. I am not great."
The comment went up hours before her trip from Los Angeles to New York turned chaotic.
What happened on the flight
Authorities described Blair as a "physically abusive passenger." She allegedly assaulted two flight attendants. Both reported injuries and one of them went to a hospital.
When the plane reached JFK Airport she was taken into custody and then brought to a hospital to be evaluated.
Her representative said a medical emergency led to the alleged conduct. The rep added that she was treated as soon as the plane was on the ground and that her condition was stable.
Her health history
Blair revealed her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2018 and has spoken openly about life with the disease ever since.
This is not her first trouble in the air. She had a separate incident on a flight in 2016, which she later blamed on mixing alcohol with medication. She apologized publicly at the time.
