In April, Blair opened up about the first time she thought she might be suffering from a health issue. The “Cruel Intentions” actress, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis back in 2018, says she couldn’t feel her leg while appearing in a show for Christian Siriano during New York Fashion Week in February.
She said she had experienced similar problems before that she didn’t think were serious.
