Billy Joel says he can't drive or perform amid his ongoing struggle with the brain condition normal pressure hydrocephalus.

The "Piano Man" singer shared a personal update in a new interview ahead of the Gooding Christie's auction in November of over 70 motorcycles from his personal collection.

“I can’t drive right now. I’m not allowed to drive,” Joel told The Hollywood Reporter.

According to MedlinePlus, normal pressure hydrocephalus is an abnormal or excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain, which can impact brain function, cause walking or gait changes, or incontinence.

In his latest interview, Joel downplayed the impact of hydrocephalus, calling it "not that serious," but also said he still is unable to perform as he used to.

"It affects your balance, it affects your memory, it affects your vision, your hearing. But I’m OK. They call it a brain disorder, but it’s not that serious. It’s just something that affects your balance mostly," Joel said, adding, "They have to test me further to see if I can go back and do performing again, which I would like to be able to do."

Joel revealed publicly that he had been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus in May 2025 and canceled shows he had been scheduled to perform.

"This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance," a statement shared on Joel's Instagram page read at the time. "Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period."

Joel previously revealed that in addition to physical therapy, he underwent brain surgery for his hydrocephalus, where doctors placed a shunt in his brain, which helped with some of his symptoms.

"My memory got better, my balance got a little better, my ability to function was better," Joel said in an interview with his radio station, Sirius XM's The Billy Joel Channel.

Zendaya is taking her talent to the sci-fi genre.

The actress is set to play the lead character in a new, currently untitled sci-fi film from Alex Garland for A24.

Garland wrote and will direct the film. Its plot details are being kept under wraps for the time being. The new movie will start production in 2027.

This continues Zendaya's collaboration with A24 after her Emmy-winning lead performance in the HBO series Euphoria and the Kristoffer Borgli film The Drama.

A24 has previously released Garland's films Ex Machina, Civil War, Men and Warfare. The studio is also set to put out his upcoming Elden Ring adaptation. It stars Kit Connor and Cailee Spaeny and has a release date of March 3, 2028.

Zendaya has had a busy 2026. After starring in The Drama, she was also seen in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. She also reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has made over $2.5 billion at the worldwide box office. In December, she will once again play Chani in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three.

Hudville won’t have to wait until the spring to get more Hudson Williams screen time. 

The Canadian streamer CBC announced Thursday that the Heated Rivalry breakout star will appear on the second season of The Assembly.

The unscripted series features celebrity quests participating in a no-holds-barred interview by a group of more than 30 neurodivergent and autistic adults. Each guest faces an “ask-anything interview, with direct, unpredictable questions that move beyond the usual promotional talking points, and often get personal,” according to a release from CBC.

Actors Jay Barucheland Zach Galifianakis also sit in the hot seat for The Assembly’s second season.

With no subject off limits, a new trailer shows Williams being asked about his sex life and whether he’s ever felt anything for co-star Connor Storrie that was “more than friendship."

But the questions also go deep: Baruchel is asked whether any particular childhood moment was traumatizing; Williams tells the panel about how he deals with loneliness.

“Your friends and your family are like the climbing pegs that you pull yourself back into life by," he tells the group.

The Assembly season 2 begins streaming on Canada’s CBC on Nov. 1.

Oscar, Emmy and Tony Award winner Al Pacino is adding another accolade to the list: the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award.

Pacino, 86, will be honored for his acting work and philanthropy in February during the 33rd annual Actor Awards.

"I wondered and wandered most of my life but have always felt at home with a script and my fellow actors. It’s the work and the actors along the way that have been among the greatest joys of my life,” Pacino said in a statement Thursday.

Pacino’s acting career began on the stage in the 1960s with theaters in Boston and New York. In 1969 he made his Broadway debut in Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?, which also led to his first Tony Award — best featured actor in a play. That same year, Pacino landed a small role in his first film, Me, Natalie. Two years later he was cast as Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s seminal work The Godfather.

Pacino was most recently seen in the films Father Joe and Killing Castro.

SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin said Thursday, “Like so many actors, I have spent my life in awe and appreciation of the force of nature that is Al Pacino. When you watch him perform, you are witnessing a student and a master. Al Pacino is an artist of extraordinary courage, intensity and heart whose work has always set an exceptional standard of skill and talent.”

Throughout his more than six-decade career, Pacino’s work has been recognized with an Academy Award, two Tony Awards, two Primetime Emmy Awards and two Actor Awards. He has also received the AFI Life Achievement Award, the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award, a Kennedy Center Honor and a Venice Career Golden Lion.

Pacino will receive the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award during the Actor Awards on Feb. 28, 2027, in Los Angeles.

Hilary Swank is going to be a mom of three.

The Oscar-winning actress, 52, announced Wednesday that she is expecting her third child with husband Philip Schneider.

Swank shared the news in an Instagram video showing the couple and their 3-year-old twins, Aya and Ohm, dancing in the dark with glow sticks attached to their bodies.

The video also reveals Swank's growing belly, with a tiny baby shape outlined in glow sticks inside.

"A lot of people have been asking what project I'm doing next, this one releases in December," she captioned the video, appearing to hint at her due date.

ABC News has reached out to Swank's representatives for additional comment.

Swank and Schneider, who married in 2018, welcomed their twins in April 2023, when the actress was 48.

"It wasn't easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it," Swank wrote on Instagram at the time, alongside a photo of herself holding the newborns.

Swank first announced her pregnancy with the twins on Good Morning America in October 2022.

"I'm going to be a mom -- and not just of one, but of two," she said at the time. "I can't believe it."

The actress has since spoken openly about becoming a mother later in life, and embracing the changes that come with motherhood.

"For me, it's not about bouncing back to our pre-baby bodies but rather bouncing forward into our new bodies and selves," she told Women's Health last year.

Este Haim believes she manifested her latest project.

The Haim musician told ABC Audio she wrote in her diary about how much she would love to be involved in a project with Marvel Studios.

"I grew up watching X-Men and Superman and also loving Disney movies," Haim said, not knowing she would soon be offered a role voicing the villain Hallow's Eve in Marvel’s Spidey and the Avengers: Halloween Team-Up.

The animated special features characters from Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends, which just so happens to be Marvel’s most-watched TV series on Disney+. It's available to watch on the streaming service now.

"I was just dreaming and manifesting, and I've always wanted to do animation and here we are. So I just put it in the universe," Haim said.

Haim has long loved Disney's iconic villains, but most of all, she admired the iconic sea witch from The Little Mermaid.

"I really loved Ursula. That song, come on. The best," Haim said. At the sheer mention of the character, the musician immediately belted out her favorite line from the Pat Carroll-performed track, "Poor Unfortunate Souls."

"You've got your looks, your pretty face. But don't underestimate the importance of body language!" Haim sang, channeling the villain who steals Ariel's voice.

While voicing Hallow's Eve was Haim's first-ever experience with voice acting, the five-time Grammy nominee is no stranger to the recording studio. Neither is her co-star, Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, who voices her villain sidekick, Jack O'Lantern.

"The studio itself is my happy place. It's not my first time in a studio. I've been in the studio a million times," Haim said. "But this was for a different job, and Patrick was really supportive and he was just really complimentary."

You can't have a Haim sister voice a villain and not give her a song. Luckily, Stump wrote her the tune "Hallows Eve Theme," which the two musicians perform together in the special.

"I'd signed on to do it because I loved the part. And then I heard this song and I was like, 'Oh I'm, now I'm really doing it,'" Haim said. "Patrick's just really talented. And the music that he's done for the show is so good. And I think that's a huge part of why kids and adults alike like the show."

Haim continued, saying she's "been a fan of his since 'Sugar, We're Going Down.'"

"That was one of my favorite songs in high school. So yeah, I jumped at the chance to work with him. He's so talented," Haim said.

The special has arrived just in time for spooky season. Even though Haim isn't sure what she will dress up as for Halloween this year, she promises there will be a costume.

"I dress up for Halloween every year. I don't know what my sisters and I are gonna plan to be this year. It's been tough because we've been in different places, and we haven't been able to nail down and decide what to be for Halloween," Haim said.

If there was anything she could potentially see happening, Haim teases, "You know, we still haven't done the Powerpuff Girls."

If not that idea, how about the characters from her new Halloween special?

In that scenario, Haim said, "I know who I'm gonna be, but Danielle and Alana would have to fight over Spidey and Jack O'Lantern."

Newly obtained 911 audio is shedding light on the frantic response when Hayden Panettiere was found unresponsive in a Greenville, South Carolina, apartment in August. 

"Oh, god, oh, my god -- you do like CPR or something?" the caller can be heard in the recording.

ABC News obtained the recording through a Freedom of Information Act request to Greenville County EMS. First responders "initiated advanced cardiac life support measures" after she was found unresponsive, according to officials, and the TV star was pronounced dead around 2:32 p.m. ET on Aug. 16. 

"[I] walked in after church to my brother and his girlfriend's apartment, and he woke up, and his girl ... she's unconscious," the caller said. 

During the seven-minute phone call, the 911 operator can be heard walking the caller through the steps of CPR before first responders arrive. The caller appears to be the brother of Panettiere's former boyfriend.

"Is she breathing?" the operator asked. 

"No," the caller said. 

"We need to start CPR. I'm going to tell you how to do CPR, OK? We're going to start with ventilation first. I need you to lay her flat on her back and remove anything from under her head," the operator said. 

The operator can be heard counting the number of chest compressions while the caller attempted to administer life-saving aid. 

"We're going to do this 500 times or until help can arrive, OK?" the operator said. "Start counting now -- one, two, three, four; one, two three, four; one, two, three, four; one, two, three, four."

South Carolina law does not allow the release of information in response to FOIA requests that identify an individual by name. The audio corresponds to the date and address of the incident, and the details in the call align with the publicly released information about Panettiere's death.

ABC News has reached out a representative for Panettiere.

Panettiere's death was ruled an accidental overdose from drugs, including fentanyl, according to the Greenville County Coroner's Office in South Carolina.

The Greenville City Police Department is investigating Panettiere's death, and the Drug Enforcement Administration also joined the investigation, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

Panettiere's ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson was present at the scene when she died, according to a police report obtained by ABC News.

The officer also wrote in the report that they spoke with Brian Hickerson and his brother, Zach Hickerson, who was also on scene, while EMS "was working on the patient." Zach Hickerson described Panettiere as his brother's girlfriend.

Actress Selma Blair faces the possibility of federal charges and prison time following her arrest earlier this week on assault charges in New York.

The Cruel Intentions star was arrested following an alleged altercation with two flight attendants aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City on Sunday.

After the flight, Blair also had alleged altercations with a Port Authority officer helping to transport her and a registered nurse assisting with her treatment at a New York hospital, according to a complaint obtained by ABC News.

The actress is now free on $20,000 bond after a court appearance Monday in which she pleaded not guilty to two felony assault charges, which come with the potential for as many as seven years in prison.

In addition to the assault charges, Blair was issued a violation notice on Monday alerting her that she is facing federal charges of assaults within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, a source familiar with the federal summons told ABC News.

During her court appearance Monday, an attorney for Blair noted that this is the actress's first arrest.

The attorney also said that Blair's diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other conditions "greatly impact her neurological system," adding that Blair missed doses of her medication during her travel.

MS is a chronic, often unpredictable disease of the central nervous system and can cause problems with vision, balance and muscle control. Blair publicly revealed her diagnosis in 2018.

Blair has also said previously that she suffers from dystonia, a neurological disorder that "causes muscles to move or tighten on their own, out of a person’s control," according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Prior to Blair's court appearance, her representative told ABC News in a statement, "Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition."

The actress is due back in court on Jan. 19.

Over a decade ago, in June 2016, Blair was removed from a plane on a stretcher and hospitalized after reportedly causing a scene.

Blair later apologized in a statement to Vanity Fair, saying at the time that she had been under the influence at the time of the incident.

"I made a big mistake yesterday. 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," she said at the time.

New surveillance video is shedding light about the circumstances behind the viral feud between singer Kelly Clarkson and a novelty store in Brooklyn.

The video, which was obtained by the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast and does not have any audio, appears to show the moments leading up to Clarkson's social media complaint about the customer service treatment she said she received at Art of Play, a magic and games store.

Clarkson appears in the grainy surveillance video wearing a yellow shirt and baseball cap. She can be seen browsing items in the store, testing a kaleidoscope and examining a wooden songbird on display named "Molly."

The singer is then seen setting the kaleidoscope down, moving toward the bird, talking to an employee, presumably about the bird, pointing at it and later, moving toward the exit, before backtracking to speak to a cashier.

Shortly after the store encounter, Clarkson posted on X, comparing her experience to that of the fictional Vivian's experience with staff at a clothing store in the 1990 movie Pretty Woman.

In a social media statement, Art of Play said Clarkson had inquired about "Molly," a one-of-a-kind automaton that serves as the store's mascot and is not available for sale.

Clarkson responded with another X post, sharing an alleged photo of "Molly" with a price tag nearby, and claiming a store employee told her "Molly" could be purchased for $15,000 before offering to show her another comparable item that cost less.

Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin told online publication Curbed that Clarkson's decision to share the interaction online has put his store employees "in danger."

"We treated her like a normal person, but apparently that didn't live up to her expectations," Rubin said.

Since Clarkson's online posts were shared, Rubin said Art of Play has been flooded with backlash, including harassing messages and negative reviews.

Neither Clarkson nor Art of Play immediately replied to ABC News' request for comment.

John Boyega has revealed he is married and a father.

The Star Wars actor took to Instagram on Wednesday to confirm his growing family after opening up about the news in a recent interview with The Guardian.

"I’ve been married for coming up to two years now," Boyega told the outlet at the time.

The actor then said his wife is pregnant, and that he is the stepfather to her son. He did not disclose who his wife is during the interview.

“My baby’s on the way. We got a baby cooking,” Boyega said. “So, you know, my life is completely, completely fulfilled in terms of family. It’s been so nice with the timing.”

In his social media announcement post, Boyega shared a slideshow of photos with his wife, revealing her as the actress Tae Heckard. She has taken his last name and now goes by Tae Boyega, according to her Instagram. Notably, the pair both only follow one person on that social media platform — each other.

Boyega's post also includes a photo of him and Tae posing with his stepson. The last slide of the carousel features a video of Boyega rocking a sleeping newborn.

"Our bundle of joy has been with us for some time now but thank you for all the well wishes. Also my sister is about to pop! Wish her well too!" Boyega wrote. "Back to feeding this big baby!"

Elsewhere in The Guardian interview, Boyega said he and Tae had a small wedding akin to the one featured in the film Braveheart.

"I would love to have a wedding celebration. We both like the idea of celebrating something established, rather than celebrating the entry. And by then, we’ll have to shut Nigeria down!" Boyega said.

Joni Mitchell is giving her classic song "Both Sides, Now" a new meaning after becoming a United States citizen.

In a social media post on Tuesday, Mitchell shared a photo of herself smiling as she stands in front of a U.S. Department of Homeland Security flag and an American flag with the caption, "A journey that began 62 years ago."

The singer also shared a video of the moment where she is announced by the speaker, "Joni Mitchell, Canada." Applause follows from people in the audience as she gets up from her seat.

ABC News has reached out to a representative for Mitchell for further comment.

Mitchell was born on Nov. 7, 1943, in Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada. According to a biography on her website, she and her family moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, when she was 9 and has since referred to it as her hometown.

In 1965, she moved to the U.S. with folk-singer Chuck Mitchell and the following year, she played a short set at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island.

In 1967, she began pursuing her career as a solo artist and released her debut album Song to a Seagull in 1968. Since then, she's released 18 studio albums and nearly all of them were recorded and produced in the U.S.

Over the years, Mitchell has shared her thoughts about not being a U.S. citizen.

In 2024 at the Hollywood Bowl, during what was dubbed the Joni Jam, her first headlining concert in L.A. in 24 years, Mitchell urged the audience to "get out and vote," according to the New Musical Express.

"This is an important one," she said. "I wish I could vote — I'm Canadian. One of those lousy immigrants."

The trailer for Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew is here.

Netflix has released an official trailer for Greta Gerwig's film adaptation of the novel by C.S. Lewis. Gerwig wrote and directed the film that stars newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell alongside a star-studded ensemble including Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep.

The teaser starts with Digory Kirke (McKenna) and Polly Plummer (Campbell) wondering if Digory's uncle Andrew is either "really mad" or a magician. We see the pair question their belief in magic before they enter a portal that takes them to a different world.

Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven" plays as the young children explore their entirely new surroundings. The trailer ends with the moment Aslan the Lion sings Narnia into existence.

"Have you ever seen a world born?" the children are asked, as they watch it happen in awe.

Netflix recruited Gerwig to direct their Narnia adaptation back in 2020. In 2023, the director helmed the year's highest-grossing film, Barbie, which earned almost $1.5 billion worldwide.

“I was a child when I first read The Magician’s Nephew, and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life,” Gerwig said in a May 2026 press release. “I didn’t know that I would grow up to make films, but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart. It is the honor of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being."

Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew will receive a full theatrical release. The movie will begin sneak previews on IMAX screens on Feb. 10, 2027, with a global wide release on Feb. 12, 2027. It will drop to Netflix on April 2, 2027.

This release strategy is a rare occurrence for the streamer. While Netflix does sometimes have limited theatrical releases in order for its titles to qualify for the Oscars, it mostly prefers to have its films debut on its streaming platform. A press release from Netflix likened the rarity to the franchise's popularity.

"A rare phenomenon that spans generations and geographies, Narnia’s release will match the scale and fandom of C. S. Lewis’s [sic] beloved books," according to Netflix.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis -- the only person ever charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur -- was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison Tuesday in a Las Vegas court after his conviction in August.

The sentence comes just over 30 years after the rap icon's drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7, 1996. Shakur succumbed to his gunshot wounds six days after being gunned down.

In the ensuing years, Davis went on to tell a remarkably consistent account of what happened that night. In multiple police interviews, on the pages of his own self-published memoir, and in multiple on-camera interviews for the world to see, Davis allegedly confessed to what prosecutors would describe as his "shot caller" role in the infamous killing.

"I beat the streets, I beat the Feds, and I beat cancer," prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo quoted of Davis' own words to the jury in his closing argument. "Now, he's trying to beat 12 of you... Mr. Davis is attempting to escape responsibility for a crime everybody knows he committed, even him... End of the day, hold him accountable for the crime he committed."

Davis, now 63, has said he plans to appeal his conviction.

A onetime Los Angeles gang leader who later retired to the Vegas suburbs, Davis was arrested in September 2023 and charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang, in connection with Shakur's murder. He has been in custody ever since. Once arrested, Davis pleaded not guilty and insisted on his innocence.

His lawyers argued he lied about his involvement in the murder and that there wasn't enough proof to put him in Vegas that night, much less in the white Cadillac from which the fatal .40 Glock shots were allegedly fired.

"The danger in this case has always been, just because we say something, is it true?" Davis' lawyer Michael Sanft said in his attempt to persuade the jury.

But in the years prior, Davis had plenty to say about his crucial role in the killing. He repeatedly admitted to his alleged role in Shakur's death, which he said was prompted by an escalating tit-for-tat of diss track and gangland retaliation that all came to a deadly head after the Tyson vs. Seldon boxing match the night of the shooting.

In continuing to tell his story and even profit from it, prosecutors said, Davis violated his own previous immunity agreement with a joint LA-task force. In fact, Vegas investigators credit Davis' many public statements for reinvigorating the case -- statements they worked to corroborate.

A jury of 12 Clark County citizens agreed -- that Davis' own words, bolstered by other evidence brought at trial, were to be believed. After less than three hours' deliberation in August, they unanimously found Davis guilty of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors said that, though he did not pull the trigger, Davis orchestrated the rap icon's drive-by shooting that night.

The truth is out there.

Ryan Coogler's reboot of The X-Files has been picked up to series. Hulu made the announcement about the series starring Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel on Tuesday.

This reboot follows "two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents" who "form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena," according to its official logline.

It will serve as a reimagining of the classic series created by Chris Carter that ran for nine seasons on Fox. The original show starred David Duchovny alongside Gillian Anderson.

Coogler wrote, directed and executive produced the reboot's pilot episode. He serves as an executive producer on the series alongside showrunner Jennifer Yale. In addition to starring, Deadwyler and Patel both co-executive produce.

“I’ve loved The X-Files for a long time, so getting the chance to write and direct the pilot has meant a great deal to me,” Coogler said. “What Chris Carter created is special, and we wanted to honor everything that made the original series connect with so many people while also finding our own way into that world."

Coogler continued, saying that Deadwyler and Patel, "along with the rest of our cast, have brought such original perspectives and performances to these characters, and watching that come together has been one of the most rewarding parts of the experience."

Making guest appearances in the new series are Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi and Ben Foster.

Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel E. Montgrand and Sofia Grace Clifton make up the rest of the cast.

Actress Selma Blair was arraigned Monday evening on assault charges in New York, following an alleged altercation with flight attendants aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City on Sunday.

She also had alleged altercations with a Port Authority officer and a registered nurse, according to a complaint obtained by ABC News.

A judge set bail for Blair at $20,000 cash, $60,000 bond or $60,000 partially secured bond, during her hearing on Monday. She was later released on bond and the case was adjourned to Jan. 19, 2027.

According to the criminal complaint filed in Queens, Blair is charged with two counts of assault in the second degree under New York Penal Law 120.05(3).

The Port Authority Police Department responded to a call Sunday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport regarding a physically abusive passenger aboard Delta flight 938, which was parked at the gate after arriving from Los Angeles International Airport, according to Port Authority officials.

The passenger, identified as Blair, was taken into custody following the alleged incident and transported to a hospital. Sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Blair was treated at Jamaica Hospital.

Two flight attendants sustained injuries as a result of the alleged incident, with one being transported to the hospital for further evaluation, according to Port Authority officials.

The pilots informed air traffic controllers ahead of landing that one person had a bloody nose and another person had bite marks and requested that medical personnel be waiting at the gate.

The complaint names Port Authority Police Officer Maria Suarez, who was kicked by Blair repeatedly in the face, neck and chest while the officer was helping transport Blair from John F. Kennedy Airport to an ambulance. The officer reported swelling to her jaw and substantial pain and was treated at a hospital, according to the complaint.

The second incident, involving registered nurse Ashley DeLeo, allegedly happened when she was assisting with Blair's medical treatment at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, according to the complaint.

Blair allegedly kicked DeLeo in the chest and she reported substantial chest pain, according to the complaint.

In addition to the assault charges, Blair was issued a violation notice on Monday alerting her that she is facing federal charges of assaults within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, a source familiar with the federal summons told ABC News.

The summons is answerable to the petty violations court in Brooklyn federal court, the sources said. There is no appearance date.

In a statement to ABC News, Blair's representative said, "Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition."

There was no operational impact to the flight as it arrived ahead of schedule, and law enforcement met the flight when it landed, according to Delta.

"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first," the airline said in a statement to ABC News.

The FBI and Federal Aviation Administration say they are investigating the alleged incident.

A family-owned newspaper and a corrupt sheriff’s department: the new documentary Kill. Bury. Print. takes viewers to rural Oklahoma, where a family searches for the truth, no matter the cost.

The true-crime doc from director Ben Klein follows newspaper publisher Bruce Willingham and his family as they report on, and fight against, law enforcement corruption in Idabel, Oklahoma.

This story of the McCurtain Gazette and the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Department begins in 2018. Reporter Chris Willingham, working for his family’s newspaper, writes a series of articles alleging department malfeasance under Sheriff Kevin Clardy. As his reporting digs into accusations of sexual affairs, drugs and violence within the sheriff’s department, Bruce Willingham and Chris Willingham find themselves in the department's crosshairs. 

Five years later, Clardy, Bruce Willingham and Chris Willingham are thrust into the media spotlight after Bruce Willingham releases secretly recorded audio of Clardy and county officials suggesting they kill and bury them.

Klein said he was rapt by the broader story of a small-town paper standing up to local law enforcement, but it was the Willingham family that inspired him to travel to Oklahoma to document the moment.

“The reason I felt like it could work was the family at the center of it, the Willingham family. Just this incredible family unit; you know, how much they preserved through all of this, how much they put on the line, how much they gave up. I just thought it was incredibly moving,” Klein said. 

Rachel Maddow serves as a producer on the project. She told ABC Audio she kept tabs on what was happening in McCurtain County after the audio recording was released, then learned Klein was helming a documentary about the Willinghams and the McCurtain Gazette.

“The courage and the pluck of this family-run paper was so impressive to me, I just sort of couldn’t believe it,” Maddow said. “It really stuck with me, and I didn’t know how or when I’d go back to the story.”

Sensitive to the precariousness of their situation and the trust they were putting in him, Klein spent the next three and a half years trying to capture the Willinghams’ lives as they faced backlash and intimidation from the sheriff’s department. But he said Kill. Bury. Print. also explores community members’ experiences.

"I wanted to amplify their message, and I also wanted to meet many other people who were involved. This was not just some story that affected the Willingham family, this was the entire county. I can’t tell you how many people we spoke to who were affected by this story … [many of whom] weren’t willing to speak to us out of fear of retribution," Klein said. 

Kill. Bury. Print. is now streaming on Peacock. It will be awarded the 2026 David Carr Award for Truth in Non-Fiction Filmmaking during the Montclair Film Festival on Oct. 17.
