Selma Blair's representatives have stated she did not intend to harm anyone during a recent flight incident

What the coverage shows

Both outlets cover Selma Blair’s response to the arrest, but The Independent frames it through her representatives’ statement that she did not intend to hurt anyone, while ABC News foregrounds Blair “breaking her silence” on the arrest. ABC News is also the only outlet here to mention the alleged midair attack on two flight attendants and the two assault charges in its extract.
