She had a dramatic meltdown as she flew back from a holiday in Cancun this summer.

But it would seem that Selma Blair has made a complete recovery six-months on from the incident, labelling the incident 'embarrassing'.

Reflecting on the mid-flight meltdown in June, the Cruel Intentions actress, 44, revealed she'd 'fully recovered' from the episode, and labelled it 'very embarrassing'.

'It was very embarrassing': it would seem that Selma Blair has made a complete recovery six-months on from the incident, labelling the incident 'embarrassing'

Speaking to People at the Baby2Baby Snow Day in Los Angeles, Selma explained she was trying to move on from the 'moment'.

'I can only say that sometimes you just have a moment that you wish you didn’t have,' she said. 'And you do whatever you can to rise above that and get through it and be a better person.'

Casting her mind forward, she added she was ready to put the whole incident behind her, adding:

'I’m looking forward to how everyone can come together and make this world better and really see the things that make people struggle, and empathy, and helping people, and that we will all have a better 2017 than 2016. I’m ready to put it behind me.'

Moving on: Reflecting on the mid-flight meltdown in June, the Cruel Intentions actress, 44 (pictured that month), revealed she'd 'fully recovered' from the episode

Earlier this year The People v. O.J. Simpson star had a complete meltdown as flew back from Mexico - where she'd been holidaying with her son Arthur Saint Bleick.

The actress broke down mid-flight, shouting about physical abuse as she burst into tears.

At the time of the incident a fellow passengers told TMZ that Selma had cried: 'He burns my private parts. He won't let me eat or drink. He beats me. He's going to kill me.'

Getting over it: Reflecting on the incident, she told People: 'I can only say that sometimes you just have a moment that you wish you didn’t have'

Forget about it: Casting her mind forward, she added she was ready to put the whole incident to bed, adding: 'I’m ready to put it behind me.'

Following the incident she was met by paramedics at LAX, with a source telling People: 'She was met by paramedics at LAX as soon as her plane arrived.

'It looks like she had taken a combination of prescription medication with alcohol. We don't know what sort of prescription medications.'

Prior to landing in Los Angeles the pilot got in touch with air control and told them she had been mixing alcohol and an unknown medication.

Two nurses were also on the flight and went through the actress' belongings to try and determine what sort of pills the actress might have taken during the trip.

In October the star first addressed the issue on the The Talk, explaining what happened on the flight with her five-year-old son Arthur and his father Jason Bleick was 'so out of character' for her; whilst she also assured fans that she now doesn't drink alcohol.

'I am someone that should never drink, and I rarely do. And I don't drink anymore, but I did,' she said.

'I was going through something, I had a glass of wine. Someone gave me a pill that I thought was something I had taken before which I don't take on a regular basis.'

She added: 'It was something completely different, a very bad choice, and I had a total psychotic blackout. And it was horrible and frightening, and I had empathy for myself actually afterwards, because it was actually so out of character for me, especially now that I'm a mother.'
