Natasha Lyonne Blames Sleeping Pill, ICE for Removal From Airplane

She said the flight mishap kept her from The Drew Barrymore Show and joked about unpaid TSA agents after the reported Delta escort.

  • On Friday, April 10, Natasha Lyonne made her first public appearance in New York City, attending the premiere of Lorne, which honors series creator Lorne Michaels, two days after reports of a flight incident.
  • Page Six alleged that Lyonne was escorted off a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City on Tuesday, April 7, after failing to follow flight attendant instructions while dozing off behind her sunglasses.
  • Lyonne attributed the disruption to taking Lunesta before takeoff, claiming she was "detained" by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an incident that caused her to miss The Drew Barrymore Show appearance.
  • Addressing the incident on X, Lyonne wrote, "My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports," while also questioning the New York Post's ownership following its coverage.
  • At the Lorne premiere, Lyonne appeared in good spirits, posing alongside Seth Meyers and Saturday Night Live star Sarah Sherman while praising the documentary as "Beautiful" on social media.
