Hey everyone, it’s been a bit of a week! I’m hearing reports that Natasha Lyonne had a bit of a travel hiccup – apparently she was asked to leave a Delta flight in LA heading to New York just a couple of days ago. She was spotted back in Manhattan on Thursday, so it looks like she made it home alright.
Okay, so I was completely glued to the red carpets Tuesday night, and let me tell you, Natasha Lyonne absolutely SLAYED. Seriously, she owned the night at both the Euphoria premiere and the Fashion Trust US Awards. She wore these amazing sheer tops, and she just… didn’t wear a bra! It was so confident and cool, and I’m still thinking about it. She just looked incredible, honestly. I’ve been a fan forever, and this was a moment.
According to Page Six, she got on a plane later that evening, but flight attendants asked her to leave because she didn’t respond when they told her to buckle her seatbelt and put away her laptop before the flight took off.
Witnesses said Lyonne, who had previously shared she’d relapsed after almost ten years of sobriety, was asked if she needed medical help and then told the plane wouldn’t leave until she exited.
Lyonne had planned to be on The Drew Barrymore Show in New York on Wednesday, but couldn’t make it.
By Thursday evening, she had traveled across the country and arrived at Lincoln Center for the premiere of the documentary, Lorne.
The film focused on Lorne Michaels, the man behind Saturday Night Live, and how the show helped launch the careers of many comedians, including Fred Armisen, who is the ex-partner of actress Lyonne.
After turning heads with her bold looks on Tuesday’s red carpets, Lyonne chose a more understated outfit – a black skirt suit with classic 1980s shoulder pads.
She wore her famously vibrant red hair loose and looked serious as she walked the red carpet in very high, black and white boots.
Just before her movie premiered, she finally addressed why she wasn’t on Drew Barrymore’s show, but her tweet didn’t actually explain her absence from the taping.
She expressed support for TSA agents who aren’t getting paid right now. She also mentioned she was excited to be on the Drew Barrymore show yesterday, but it didn’t work out.
The Daily Mail reached out to representatives for Drew Barrymore, Charlie Lyonne, and the show for a response, but hasn’t received one yet.
Reports say Lyonne seemed confused when she was asked to leave a Delta flight on Tuesday evening.
Page Six reports that she was still dressed in some of her premiere outfit and relaxing in first class when the trouble started.
According to a witness, Lyonne was given directions by several flight attendants, and appeared to be asleep when the incident occurred.
She was heard telling staff after apparently getting startled at one point: ‘Ah! You scared me!’
After a bit of searching, the staff found her laptop. The plane started moving towards the runway, but then had to return to the gate, where a Delta employee got on board to talk with Lyonne.
According to reports, an employee asked Lyonne if she needed medical assistance. The employee then requested that she leave the plane and offered to help with her luggage.
‘Where are we?’ she was heard asking.
We’re still in Los Angeles. The plane isn’t leaving,” they told us. “It won’t take off until everyone disembarks.”
Page Six reported that Lyonne calmly told a staff member to be quiet, then went to the bathroom and returned with a bag of pretzels to eat.
She departed the plane obediently after her luggage was removed.
The captain explained that the delay of over an hour for passengers traveling to New York was due to a passenger who wasn’t responding to simple instructions.
The captain explained that a passenger was asked to take a different flight because they were unable to follow simple instructions. It seems the passenger was not fit to fly at that time.
We’re so sorry for the trouble, and we’ll get you to New York as soon as we can, while ensuring your safety.
The Daily Mail reached out to representatives for Lyonne but hasn’t received a response yet. Delta declined to provide a statement.
TMZ reports that Natasha Lyonne was supposed to be on The Drew Barrymore Show yesterday, but she didn’t appear.
She turned heads earlier that night at the red carpet event, choosing a sheer top that revealed her chest while promoting her work on the show Euphoria.
The incident comes three months after she revealed she suffered a relapse.
Natasha Lyonne shared with her 545,000 followers that she had experienced a relapse, and indicated she would share more details later. Her followers responded with a lot of support.
The actress replied to a supportive comment with, ‘Thank you, and I appreciate your kindness.’ She then playfully added, ‘Sending you love! I might end up a carefree spirit or devote my life to the church—we’ll see!’
Okay, so Lyonne didn’t spill exactly when things got tough again, or how it even happened, which is frustrating, honestly! But she did say something really important – that getting better isn’t a destination, it’s…well, it’s always happening. It’s a lifelong thing, and that just…resonates, you know? It’s not about being ‘cured,’ it’s about living with it, and constantly working on yourself. I just…I get it, and it makes me admire her even more.
In a message posted on Saturday, January 24th, she reminded anyone going through a difficult time that they aren’t by themselves.
Feeling thankful for the love in my life and my ability to keep moving forward. I’m doing this for my little one, Bambo. Just a reminder to everyone to stay true to yourselves, even though we all carry hidden burdens.
The actress from Orange Is The New Black also shared a message of encouragement: ‘Just in case nobody told you today, I love you. No matter what struggles you’re facing, your experiences can help someone else. Keep pushing forward, everyone. Don’t give up before something amazing happens. Fill your thoughts with love, and don’t pay attention to negativity.’
She responded to a fan with a simple ‘Love you too,’ and shared with another that they needed to improve things and stop blaming people – suggesting they hold the Sacklers accountable, even if it meant taking drastic measures, but asking not to be criticized for speaking frankly.
She was talking about the Sackler family, famous for owning Purdue Pharma, the company that created the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin. They made billions of dollars from selling the drug.
Last year, the company had to pay a $7.4 billion settlement due to its involvement in the opioid crisis.
In March, she shared a positive update about her recovery, writing on X (formerly Twitter) that she was ‘doing a whole lot better & back on her feet.’
Lyonne finished rehab in 2006 and, in a 2012 interview with Entertainment Weekly, openly discussed her struggles with drug and alcohol addiction and how they had spiraled out of control.
She described the frightening experience of falling into addiction. She explained that certain substances have predictable effects – alcohol slows you down, while cocaine speeds you up. Mixing cocaine and heroin, she warned, is incredibly dangerous. That’s the core message of her story: combining those drugs – known as a ‘speedball’ – can have devastating consequences.
It’s strange even talking about it,” she said then. “I truly came very close to dying, and many people don’t recover. That experience makes me cautious and aware of how I come across. I don’t want to seem boastful about surviving. So many people supported me and helped me get back on my feet.
In the early to mid-2000s, Lynnne faced a series of very public struggles. She was arrested for drunk driving, had a legal dispute with a neighbor, and battled serious health issues including hepatitis C, a collapsed lung, and a heart infection that eventually required open-heart surgery.
Oh my gosh, it was 2006, and I was absolutely devastated to hear she was struggling. She was only 27! She bravely checked herself into rehab to get help with substance abuse, and honestly, even knowing she was fighting something so hard just made me admire her even more. It took so much courage.
‘Eventually, I made it through those dark nights of the soul,’ Lyonne told The Times in 2024.
Lyonne is experiencing a career comeback, and is now expanding her work beyond acting to include directing, writing, and producing. A recent project is ‘Bambo,’ a boxing movie set in the 1980s.
