Natasha Lyonne Connects Plane Incident After Euphoria Premiere to ICE

Apr 14, 2026

Natasha Lyonne is continuing to call out those who escorted her off a plane Tuesday night after a red-eye flight incident following the Euphoria season 3 premiere.

According to a Thursday report from Page Six, Lyonne was reportedly still in her sheer outfit worn on the red carpet, and seemed “out of it in a first class seat, and when flight attendants asked her to close her laptop and fasten her seatbelt for takeoff, she didn’t respond.” After “numerous flight attendants repeatedly tried to get the star to follow their commands.” The plane eventually returned to the gate, and Lyonne was asked to leave, causing a delay of over an hour.

On Friday, Lyonne addressed the incident in a post on X, quoting an E! News article, disputing aspects of the report. She said she had taken a sleep aid before the flight and was trying to rest.

“Thanks for the great reporting, @enews. Indeed, I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One red eye flight to NYC. Boarded seamlessly with just a backpack and sneakers, eager for a nap. Plan was to be bushy tailed & beauty rested, as I was meant to head straight to glam for a slot with our beloved @DrewBarrymore, upon landing,” the Poker Face star wrote. “Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess.”

She also thanked supporters and apologized to fellow travelers for the delay, noting she had never previously had issues with Delta or TSA.

Later Friday afternoon, TMZ reported that a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told the outlet, “Neither ICE nor TSA escorted or detained Natasha Lyonne.”

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to ICE for comment but has yet to hear back. Delta declined to comment.

Lyonne had been scheduled to appear on The Drew Barrymore Show Wednesday to promote Euphoria. Her role in the Sam Levinson-created series remains under wraps. Despite the incident, she later made it to New York and attended the premiere of the upcoming documentary, Lorne, about Saturday Night Live mastermind Lorne Michaels. Lyonne was featured as an SNL host for the sketch-comedy series’ season 47 in 2022.

The Russian Doll star has been open about her struggles with addiction. In January, she revealed in a tweet that she had relapsed and was no longer sober. Last month, she thanked fans for their support amid her recovery journey. “Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better and back on her feet,” Lyonne wrote. “Want to thank our recovery communities and the fans who stood by and were so supportive. Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength and hope as makes sense.”

April 10, 4:21 p.m. This story has been updated to include TMZ’s report that DHS denied that neither ICE nor TSA escorted or detained Lyonne.
