Natasha Lyonne Removed From Delta Flight After Euphoria Premiere

Incident Details

Hours after walking the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of HBO’s Euphoria season 3, the actress was escorted off a Delta red‑eye bound for New York. Flight attendants reported that Lyon Lyonne appeared disoriented, dozed off, and ignored repeated instructions to close her laptop and fasten her seat belt. The disruption delayed take‑off for more than an hour before the airline removed her from the aircraft and rebooked her on a later flight.

Lyonne’s Response

Lyonne addressed the episode on social media, expressing sympathy for airport staff and confirming she was “not feeling well.” She also noted that the incident caused her to miss a scheduled interview with Drew Barrymore. The star, who disclosed a recent relapse after a decade of sobriety, declined to elaborate on the medical nature of the episode.

Industry Context
