Shortly after the Season 3 premiere of HBO’s acclaimed series “Euphoria,” Natasha Lyonne was reportedly removed from a Delta flight traveling from Los Angeles to New York City. The actress, recognized for her guest role in “Euphoria,” appeared on the red carpet wearing a stunning sheer top, later boarding a red-eye flight in attire that included a long black coat, black stockings, and sneakers.
Incident on Delta Flight
Witnesses shared that Lyonne seemed disoriented while seated in first class. Despite the flight attendants’ repeated requests for her to close her laptop and fasten her seatbelt, she appeared unresponsive. Eyewitnesses noted that she looked sleepy and startled when approached, even exclaiming, “Ah! You scared me!”
Flight Delay and Evacuation
As the plane prepared to take off, Lyonne’s laptop was removed from her possession. However, the aircraft then returned to the gate, delaying the flight. A Delta staff member boarded and inquired whether the actress needed medical assistance, eventually asking her to leave the plane. Lyonne reportedly responded with confusion, asking, “Where are we?”
- Flight: Delta Airlines
- Route: Los Angeles (LAX) to New York City (JFK)
- Incident: Passenger removed before takeoff
- Celebrity Involved: Natasha Lyonne
- Time of Incident: Shortly after “Euphoria” premiere
After a brief intervention, Lyonne exited the aircraft, having already eaten a bag of pretzels and collected her belongings. The captain later announced to passengers that a decision had been made to offload a passenger who did not comply with basic requests. He reassured them that they would arrive in New York safely and as quickly as possible.
Sobriety Journey and Recent Updates
In a previous public statement, Lyonne candidly shared her struggles with sobriety, revealing a relapse earlier in the year. Since then, she has expressed positive progress on social media, stating, “Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet.” Lyonne has also been grateful for the support from her recovery community and fans.
Despite the high-profile nature of these events, no comments have been made by Lyonne’s representatives regarding the flight incident. Meanwhile, the actress continues to maintain her status in the entertainment industry, previously known for her roles in “Russian Doll” and “Poker Face.”
The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges that can accompany public figures, especially concerning their personal lives and well-being.
