The hour-long talk show spent 20 minutes talking about Blair and her new book. However, it wasn’t enough for viewers who wanted more from the leading lady.

Read on to see what they have to say about her and for more.

Selma Blair joins The View

Selma Blair wanted to open up about her ongoing battle with MS. The Dark Horse star was diagnosed in 2018 and was relieved about it. Blair had a feeling that she was in the early stages of MS for the past 15 years. However, doctors never took her seriously.

“They weren’t tears of panic, they were tears of knowing I had to give in to a body that had a loss of control,” Selma Blair said while choking back tears. “And there was some relief in that.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, multiple sclerosis is a disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). The immune system attacks the body and causes nerve damage to the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include balance, muscle, and vision problems. People in their 20s and 30s are usually diagnosed with this life-long condition.

During her time on The View, Blair said that her new book is about her journey with MS. She wants to be as open and transparent as possible with her fans. Blair felt they had to know what she was going through all this time. Her memoir, Mean Baby, came out on Tuesday, May 17.

Also during the interview, she opened up about her struggles with alcoholism. She admitted that she became “an everyday kind of drinker by the age of seven.” Blair didn’t realize it became a problem until she saw a change in her personality. She was “nervous” to put that out there in the book, but felt it was important.
