Selma Blair is opening up about the 'horrifying and humiliating' experience of being taken off an international flight due to drinking 'too much.'
Selma Blair knew she had a problem before she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis: She was self-medicating to ease her pain. But in 2016, she was forced to address the problem after a family vacation ended on a scary note. On a return flight from Cancún, Mexico, to Los Angeles with her son and ex-boyfriend, Jason Bleick, Blair mixed prescription drugs with alcohol. TMZ reported at the time that Blair was crying and saying things like, 'He burns my private parts.
It ultimately led the actress to get sober — a decision that she says led her to an MS diagnosis — which she shared publicly in 2018. 'I wouldn’t have been able to be diagnosed with MS unless I was sober. I wouldn’t be a good mom unless I was sober. I self-medicated,' she admitted to Us Weekly. Before she had an official name for her condition, Blair says she even questioned whether her pain was real. 'I honestly thought I was making it up before I was diagnosed. I just thought, ‘Jesus, Selma, you’re very broken inside. Admit it.’ I didn’t know I wasn’t broken and that I had brain tissue damage,' she shared. According to the Cleveland Clinic, multiple sclerosis can 'cause muscle weakness, vision changes, numbness and memory issues.
