Natasha Lyonne was escorted off a red-eye Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York hours after attending the Euphoria season 3 premiere. Flight attendants reported she did not respond to requests to close her laptop and buckle up. The incident delayed the flight by more than an hour.
Natasha Lyonne boarded the flight Tuesday night still wearing her premiere outfit, according to Page Six. Crew members in first class said she appeared out of it, dozing behind sunglasses and ignoring instructions as the plane began taxiing. An eyewitness described her as unresponsive during attempts to get her attention, leading the aircraft to return to the gate where her laptop was removed and a Delta staffer boarded to assist her. Lyonne seemed confused, asking where she was, before shushing the staffer, using the bathroom, emerging with a bag of pretzels, and eventually leaving the plane. The pilot later apologized to passengers for the delay caused by a passenger who would not follow basic commands. Lyonne missed her scheduled appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show the following day. At 12 PM PT, she posted online what appeared to be a response to the reports, tagging Drew Barrymore and questioning the source of the details. Her representatives have not commented, amid her recent disclosures about a sobriety relapse in January.
