This week, we're talking about Selma Blair. At one point, Selma Blair was one of the most promising young starlets, acting alongside Reese Witherspoon in both Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde. While she never broke big, Selma did become a recognizable character actress and something of a fashion icon. A few decades later, Selma is now more infamous than famous, making headlines for her upsetting behaviour on aeroplanes. At the same time, Selma Blair is an MS patient and an outspoken advocate for people living with disabilities and health problems. However, she's also known for her repeated incidents of Islamophobia. How do we make sense of this complicated person? Listen as we try!
