Natasha Lyonne Responds After Allegedly Being Escorted Off Flight

Crew removed Natasha Lyonne from the flight after she did not follow safety instructions, and the plane returned to the gate before takeoff, the captain said.

  • On Tuesday, April 7, actress Natasha Lyonne was escorted off a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York hours after attending the Euphoria Season 3 premiere.
  • Witnesses reported Lyonne appeared "out of it" in her first-class seat, repeatedly failing to respond when flight attendants instructed her to fasten her seatbelt and close her laptop.
  • Following a delay lasting over an hour, the captain announced a passenger "didn't seem up to the task tonight," prompting the plane to return to the gate.
  • Upon being told the plane had not left Los Angeles, Lyonne asked, "Where are we?" before eventually complying and exiting the aircraft after her luggage was removed.
  • The Russian Doll star, who revealed a relapse earlier this year after 10 years of sobriety, continues working as an actress, writer, and director in Hollywood.
