Natasha Lyonne responds to report she was escorted off flight following ‘Euphoria’ premiere
Natasha Lyonne has responded after it was reported she was escorted off a flight leaving Los Angeles hours after Euphoria’s premiere.
Lyonne is a guest star in the third season of the hit HBO series, set to air on April 12th, and was in attendance for the red carpet event held in Los Angeles at the TLC Chinese Theatre on April 7th.
However, according to Page Six, Lyonne was ordered to leave the flight to New York City that she boarded later that evening.
The report claims that a member of staff for Delta Airlines asked if she needed medical attention, before informing the actor, “Ma’am, I need you to come off the plane. Do you need help with your belongings?”
In response, Lyonne was allegedly informed that “the plane is not going anywhere until you come off it”, before the Euphoria star headed to the toilet and then left the plane.
It’s alleged that the captain told those on the flight, “We have a passenger who for whatever reason … wouldn’t follow some basic commands… We had a passenger who didn’t seem up to the task tonight so that’s why they were asked to be booked on another flight.”
The captain also, according to the report, offered an apology “for the inconvenience”, which is said to have caused the flight to New York to have set off an hour behind schedule.
Hours after the report was published, Lyonne took to X to address the article as well as her missed appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on April 8th, writing, “My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports. (heart emoji) Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with Drew Barrymore yesterday but guess wasn’t in the cards. Who owns page six/New York Post now again?”
She also responded directly to a link to the Page Six article, with a series of emojis, including a banana and an ice cube, along with tagging Euphoria and fashion brand Mugler in the post.
In January, Lyonne took to X to share with her followers that she had relapsed following an extended period of sobriety, writing, “Recovery is a lifelong process. Anyone out there struggling, remember you’re not alone. Grateful for love & smart feet.”
She poignantly added, “Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets. If no one told ya today, I love you. No matter how far down the scales we have gone, we will see how our experience may help another.”
In an update on March 19th, Lyonne said she was “proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet.”
Her positive post continued, “Want to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive. Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense. My heart is with everyone ever going through it.”
