Natasha Lyonne has appeared in public for the first time since reportedly being escorted off a flight earlier this week. On Thursday, the actor attended the Lorne premiere in New York … and also shared a social media post directed at airline staff.

To recap, Natasha walked the red carpet at the Euphoria Season 3 premiere earlier this week. But, just hours later, she was reportedly removed from a Los Angeles to New York City flight. This was apparently due to her “out of it” behavior.
Sharing eyewitness accounts, Page Six reported that Natasha was wearing some of the same clothes and accessories she’d worn earlier at the premiere. Before being escorted from the plane, the actor was also reportedly asked if she needed “medical attention” by the on-flight Delta staff.
As a result of the alleged incident, Natasha missed a scheduled appearance on Wednesday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. She later took to social media to comment on her absence and, seemingly, the drama regarding the flight.
“Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with @DrewBarrymore,” she said on X. “But [I] guess it wasn’t on the cards.” Elsewhere in the post, she said her “heart is with” airport staff, and also asked “who owns” Page Six these days. Nonetheless, Natasha eventually made it to New York, as she was photographed at the Lorne premiere on April 9.
All of this comes amid the Orange is the New Black star’s ongoing sobriety struggles. In January of this year, she revealed that she’d relapsed after nearly a decade of sobriety. However, just months later, she reassured fans via social media that she was “doing a whole lot better.”
