Selma Blair’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Andy Kiernan, asked the public to pray for the actress after her violent mid-flight outburst.

“Pray for Selma,” the businessman posted to his Instagram Stories Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.

“She has a good heart. She hasn’t yet got the help she needs,” he added.

“Pray that she does. She’s a human being like the rest of us.”

Kiernan — who began dating Blair in 2024 — concluded his post by asking his followers to also pray for the “Legally Blonde” actress’ 15-year-old son, Arthur, whom she shares with ex Jason Bleick.

Page Six has reached out to Kiernan for comment but did not immediately hear back.

On Sunday, Blair, 54, was traveling on a Delta flight from LAX in Los Angeles to JFK in New York City.

During the flight, the “Cruel Intentions” actress became physically disruptive and was restrained by flight attendants.

Per 911 audio, a pilot called for medical assistance and law enforcement to be on hand when the plane landed to help with an “abusive” passenger who had injured several people.

“A bloody nose as well as some bite marks,” he said in audio obtained by TMZ.

“Could you pass on to the folks at JFK, we’d like to have some medical personnel at the gates for a couple of [flight attendants] involved in the passenger incident,” the pilot said.

She kicked a police officer on the way to the hospital and assaulted a nurse at the medical facility.

In a statement, Blair’s rep told Page Six she “experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct” and is currently in “stable condition.”

On Monday, Blair entered a not guilty plea after being charged with two counts of second-degree assault.

Her attorney, Shawn Barnes, blamed the mid-air incident on Blair allegedly missing her multiple sclerosis medication, as well as falling and hitting her head.

Barnes added that his client boarded the flight after working “extensive hours and exhaustive hours” on set in the days before the trip.

The “Hellboy” actress is facing two to seven years behind bars if convicted.
