Selma Blair broke her silence on Friday, weeks after being arrested for alleged assault, according to a Fox News report. The brief summary of that report said only that she spoke publicly and did not describe what she said.
ABC News reported separately that Blair apologized in a video weeks after her arrest. The headline of that report quoted her as saying, "I take this very seriously," and its summary said she was speaking out weeks after the arrest. The ABC News summary did not mention the alleged assault.
The two accounts agree on the core facts: Blair made a public statement weeks after an arrest for alleged assault. They differ in detail. ABC News described the statement as an apology delivered in a video, while the Fox News summary did not say how she spoke. Both reports concern the same person and the same period after her arrest.
Neither the Fox News summary nor the ABC News summary states when the arrest took place, where it occurred, what the alleged assault involved, or the status of any legal case. Neither names any people beyond Blair, and neither gives a city from which the reports were filed, so this story carries no dateline.
This report draws only on the headlines and brief summaries of the two articles. No transcript, video, or full article text was available, and the account above adds no details beyond what those short texts state.
