Mean Baby will be released in a hardcover version, as well as an eBook and audiobook version, narrated by Selma.
The star’s book title comes from a family reference about her.
Selma said that she ‘was a disagreeable child with a terrible disposition,’ hence the title Mean Baby, she told People.
She would also bite her three older sisters when she was a child, which was another reason behind her title.

Selma recalled that her ‘childhood’ was ‘spent in worship of her mother, an adolescence of love and pain, her destructive ways of coping with an illness she did not known she had, her life as a model and muse, her struggles and successes in Hollywood, and her battle with depression as a young mother,’ per the outlet.
Selma, who has 10-year-old son Arthur with ex Jason Bleick, said that since doing a stem cell transplant in 2019 she is seeing ‘huge improvements’ in her MS symptoms, she said in an earlier People interview.
She spoke about her MS and how she uses deals with body flare ups: ‘My version of MS really screws with my mind. It’s triggered by my own emotions and fears, adrenaline, as well as lights and sounds. I am working on those things.’
Adding: ‘If you see me start to shake, it means my nerves got big. Getting into a ball for a minute and resetting myself helps. Or I’ll jump into the cold pool and swim.’
Selma’s documentary, Introducing, Selma Blair is currently streaming on discovery+ and in theaters.
