Natasha Lyonne Claims ICE Detained Her After Kicked Off Flight

Natasha Lyonne claimed in a new X post that she was “detained” by ICE after she was kicked off a flight following her April 7 appearance at the “Euphoria” Season 3 premiere in Hollywood. The Emmy nominee, whose appearance on the “Euphoria” red carpet went viral due to her see-through top, was clarifying widely-circulated reports report that claimed she was kicked off a flight from Los Angeles to New York before it took off due to unruly behavior. Page Six was first to report the story.

“Indeed, I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One red eye flight to NYC,” Lyonne posted on X in response to one of the reports tweeted by E! News. “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 Drew Barrymore upon landing. 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. Thanks for all the love and support. Never had a problem with Delta or TSA before. Heart is with our unpaid TSA workers. Apologies to any travelers who were delayed.”

Variety has reached out to Lyonne’s agents, plus representatives for ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, for comment.

Lyonne first revealed she was heading to New York City to appear on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in an April 9 post on X in which she called out the Page Six report by writing: “My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports. Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with Drew Barrymore yesterday but guess wasn’t in the cards. Who owns page six/New York Post now again?”

Hours after posting, Lyonne popped up in New York City and walked the red carpet at the premiere for the Focus Features documentary “Lorne.” She also attended the film’s after party, where she took photos with friends such as Seth Meyers and Sarah Sherman. Lyonne walked the red carpet with friend Hamer Morgenstern.

Lyonne revealed in January on X that she had relapsed and was no longer sober, but she circled back with fans in March to announce she was “doing a whole lot better and back on her feet.”
