Natasha Lyonne is speaking out for the first time after Page Six reported she was allegedly escorted off a Delta flight in Los Angeles.
The Emmy nominee posted on X on Thursday, April 9, to compliment TSA agents who remain unpaid due to a partial government shutdown, while also acknowledging missing an upcoming taping of The Drew Barrymore Show.
“My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports. Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with @DrewBarrymore yesterday but guess wasn’t in the cards,” Lyonne wrote before addressing Page Six, the outlet that initially reported on her being removed from a flight. “Who owns page six/New York Post now again?”
Page Six reported that the Poker Face actress “seemed out of it” while sitting in first class on a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to New York City. Lyonne reportedly didn’t respond to flight attendants when asked to close her laptop or fasten her seatbelt for takeoff.
Hours before the alleged plane incident, Lyonne had attended the Euphoria season 3 premiere in a revealing look.

According to Page Six, the plane Lyonne was reportedly on initially taxied to the runway but soon returned to the gate.
Once Lyonne exited the plane, which had reportedly delayed the flight for over an hour, Page Six said the captain of the flight told passengers that someone aboard the plane “wouldn’t follow some basic commands” and was asked to book another flight.
Entertainment Weekly has not been able to independently confirm the alleged incident. Lyonne’s reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A Delta representative told EW the airline had nothing to add to reports about the actress’s behavior aboard the flight.
Lyonne recently gave fans an update on her health just months after a relapse in her sobriety.
“Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet,” she posted on X. “Want to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive. Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense. My heart is with everyone ever going through it.”
