"I made a big mistake yesterday," Blair told Vanity Fair on Tuesday. "After a lovely trip with my son and his dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret."
Blair was returning to Los Angeles from Mexico with her son and his father when the outburst occurred.
Blair's son, Arthur Saint Bleick, is4-years-old. His father is fashion designer Jason Bleick.

Witnesses told TMZ that Blair was sitting in first class and drinking wine when she began to cry and said, "He beats me. He's going to kill me," among other things.
Some nurses on the flight tended to her, and when the plane landed, paramedics took her off the plane by stretcher.
"This is truly out of character," an unnamed source told People. "She's super outgoing, smart and funny -- a put-together person. She's also a proud mom and she loves talking about her kid."
"My son was with his dad asleep with his headphones on, so there is that saving grace," Blair told Vanity Fair. "I take this very seriously, and I apologize to all of the passengers and crew that I disturbed and am thankful to all of the people who helped me in the aftermath. I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes and am filled with shame over this incident. I am truly very sorry."
Blair most recently played Kris Jenner in FX's "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story."
