Actress Selma Blair must remain no less than 100 yards from Ashley DeLeo, a nurse she is accused of attacking at a hospital after being arrested over an incident on a Delta flight, according to a court order. TMZ, citing law enforcement sources, reported that a judge issued DeLeo a temporary protective order that stays in effect through October 11, 2027. The directive also bars Blair from reaching DeLeo by phone calls, text messages, email or any other electronic means. Blair was taken into custody on Sunday night following an alleged altercation with crew members on a trip from Los Angeles to New York. She was arrested once the aircraft landed and later transported to a hospital. During her treatment there, Blair allegedly kicked DeLeo in the chest. The actress was arraigned Monday night and entered not guilty pleas to two felony assault charges. One charge concerns DeLeo, while the other involves a Port Authority police officer. Blair's attorney said the episode resulted from missed medication. Several hours before her arrest, Blair posted on social media that she felt "sad" and "not great".
