Selma Blair Support 'Adaptive' & 'Chic' Clothing Line for People With Disabilities After MS Diagnosis
Selma Blair has opened up about her struggles with multiple sclerosis after announcing her diagnosis last October.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, the “Legally Blonde” star said she’s been dealing with a host of strange ailments for nearly five years, before undergoing an MRI last summer and discovering the autoimmune disease.
“I’m pretty much a nobody in Hollywood,” she said. “But when I read comments on Instagram from people who were suffering, whether it was from M.S., or anything, I thought, ‘Holy s—, there’s a need for honesty about being disabled from someone recognizable.'”
Blair told “Good Morning America” that, prior to her diagnosis, she had begun to experience intense pain and fatigue ever since giving birth to her son in 2011. The fatigue was often overwhelming, she said, recalling times when she would drive a mile to drop her son off at school only to pull over and take a nap before she went home.
Sarah Michelle Gellar showered her longtime friend Selma Blair with support, applauding the way her “Cruel Intentions” co-star has taken on her challenging battle with multiple sclerosis.
Geller took to Instagram to speak about Blair’s very busy week, which started with her first public appearance since announcing her diagnosis and a pair of media interviews.

“To say I’m proud, would be a gross understatement,” Geller wrote in the caption of a photo of Blair dressed up for the Vanity Fair Oscar party Sunday night. “When I have a cold, I want to hide from the world under my covers. But not Selma. She is facing this diagnosis, the way she faces everything, with dignity, grace and head on.”
Geller, 41, has been friends with Blair, 46, since the pair starred together in the 1999 movie “Cruel Intentions.”

“I know the support and encouragement that she has received on this platform has truly been a source of strength for her,” Gellar finished. “This is not an easy journey, but Selma will not let this define her. I love you James.”
In response to the sweet message, Blair sent affection back to her pal. “I love you so dearly.”

But when she's not preparing for the red carpet, Blair admits to Vanity Fair that "dressing is a shit show"—something that people with lifelong conditions know only too well. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis myself back in 2013, so Blair's statement that accessible fashion should "fit right and look cool" is my own brand of Holy Communion that I'm ready to eat right up。
“There’s a calmness to her because I think now she knows she can’t do everything, and it’s O.K., some days, if she can’t,” Gellar told Vanity Fair. “It’s been wonderful to watch her be more settled, more content, and almost more in control of herself in a weird way.”
Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, whom Blair portrayed on FX’s “The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” has also been following Blair’s struggles closely.
“She really is sharing something so vulnerable, and so scary,” Jenner said. “She showed me what courage is, and how to be brave. I changed a bit of the way I live my life because of her.”
As for the future, Blair remains hopeful, beginning a monthly intravenous-drug therapy around the same time that the Vanity Fair interview took place.
“I’m very optimistic; I think she’ll be a different person in a year,” doctor Saud Sadiq said. “I have patients with M.S. who are surgeons, actors, a commercial-airline pilot, sports figures, successful lawyers — they don’t want anyone to know about their illness because they feel it could hurt their career. Her decision to speak out also brings awareness and increases research funding for the disease when people can see somebody affected in the way that she is.”
