Natasha Lyonne is sharing more details about the Delta Airlines flight that she was allegedly removed from.
“I took a Lunesta [sleeping medication] once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One redeye flight to NYC,” Lyonne, 47, wrote via X on Friday, April 10. “Boarded seamlessly with just a backpack and sneakers, eager for a nap.”
She continued, “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. [I] was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in-depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans.”
Lyonne alleged that she was “detained” by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
“Sign of the times, I guess,” the Poker Face star wrote, thanking her followers for “all the love and support,”
“Never had a problem with @Delta or @TSA before. Heart is with our unpaid @TSA workers. 💗💗,” she concluded on Friday. “Apologies to any travelers who were delayed.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Delta for comment.
News broke on Thursday, April 9, that Lyonne was reportedly escorted off a plane from Los Angeles to New York City. An eyewitness told Page Six that the actress appeared “out of it.”
“My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports. 💞,” Lyonne wrote via X several hours later. “Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with @DrewBarrymore yesterday but guess [it] wasn’t in the cards.”
Lyonne seemingly addressed the claims that she wasn’t feeling well in a subsequent tweet on Friday.
“Gentle reminder that ‘Are you OK?’ is maybe my least favorite of all our generic, small talk phrases,” she wrote via X on Friday. “[I] never know how in depth people really wanna go, so I rarely ask it unless I mean to sit with someone for 6 hours and truly listen to the answer. ‘How are you?’ is up there too. Do people really mean it when they ask each other those things?”
She added, “Is anyone ‘OK?’ [I am] pretty grateful and doing pretty good. Been surfing a lot. Writing a lot. Seeing theater.”
Lyonne recently revealed that she got “back on her feet” after relapsing after a near-decade of sobriety.
“Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better and back on her feet,” she tweeted on March 19. “[I] want to thank our recovery communities and the fans who stood by and were so supportive. [I] look forward to sharing my experience, strength and hope as [it] makes sense. My heart is with everyone ever going through it.”
