Hours after stepping onto the red carpet for the Season 3 premiere of Euphoria, Natasha Lyonne was reportedly escorted off a Delta flight departing Los Angeles for New York City.
The actress, who appears as a guest star in the upcoming season of the HBO drama, had attended the high-profile premiere event at the TCL Chinese Theatre earlier in the evening. She was later seen boarding a late-night flight wearing a variation of her red carpet look, including dark sunglasses and a long coat.
According to reports, Lyonne appeared unresponsive while seated in first class as flight attendants prepared the aircraft for takeoff. Crew members allegedly asked her multiple times to fasten her seatbelt and close her laptop, but she did not comply. Witnesses claimed she seemed drowsy and was possibly dozing behind her sunglasses.
The plane reportedly began taxiing toward the runway before returning to the gate due to the situation. A Delta staff member then boarded and asked Lyonne whether she required medical assistance. She was subsequently instructed to leave the aircraft so the flight could proceed.
At one point, Lyonne was reportedly overheard asking, "Where are we?" and was informed the plane had not yet departed Los Angeles. After initially remaining seated, she eventually gathered herself and exited the aircraft without further disruption.
Passengers were later told by the captain that the delay, said to be over an hour, was caused by an individual who did not follow standard safety instructions. The flight then continued to New York without additional issues.
Representatives for Lyonne did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and Delta declined to provide further details regarding the reported incident.
Earlier that evening, Lyonne had drawn attention at the premiere with a bold fashion choice, sharing photos from the event on social media and expressing gratitude for being part of the series.
The reported incident comes weeks after the actress publicly addressed challenges in her sobriety journey, noting she was focused on recovery while keeping much of the process private.
