Natasha Lyonne was reportedly escorted off a Delta flight shortly after attending the premiere of season three of Euphoria. According to Page Six, the Poker Face star, 47, was scheduled to travel from Los Angeles to New York City on the evening of April 7 when the incident allegedly occurred.
The outlet claims Lyonne boarded a red-eye flight at Los Angeles International Airport just hours after the event. Before takeoff, flight attendants reportedly instructed passengers to close electronic devices and fasten seatbelts. Lyonne allegedly did not respond to the requests, even after being asked multiple times. She was said to be sitting behind oversized sunglasses and appeared to be dozing off while crew members attempted to get her attention.
Although the aircraft had already begun taxiing toward the runway, pilots reportedly decided to return to the gate. Passengers were then informed that one traveler would need to be rebooked on another flight. Once the plane returned, Lyonne was allegedly escorted off by a Delta gate agent, taking her belongings with her. The delay reportedly lasted a little over an hour. Page Six did not disclose the identity of its source, and the incident has not been independently confirmed.
Lyonne later posted a message on X, referencing airport staff and noting she had been looking forward to appearing on Drew Barrymore’s show, though the plans ultimately fell through. Delta declined to comment publicly, and representatives for Lyonne did not immediately respond to requests for clarification.
While the specific flight was not officially confirmed, Delta Flight DL960 traveling from LAX to New York’s JFK Airport was delayed by one hour and seven minutes on April 7, according to flight tracking data. The reported incident came just hours after Lyonne walked the red carpet for the Euphoria season three premiere, where she wore oversized wraparound sunglasses, a sheer top, corset-style shorts, and lace tights. At one point, she was also seen being supported by producer Brian Grazer as she moved along the carpet.
The situation also follows a recent personal update from Lyonne, who earlier this year spoke openly about experiencing a relapse during her sobriety journey. In a March 19 message, she shared that she was doing “a whole lot better” and thanked recovery communities and fans for their support. She previously emphasized that recovery is an ongoing process and encouraged others facing similar struggles to remember they are not alone.
