WhileNatasha Lyonnerocked the Euphoria Season 3 red carpet, the actor was also reported to have been removed from a flight hours later. The 47-year-old actor allegedly failed to follow orders from the airline staff and was escorted off.
According to PageSix, Lyonne was still wearing some of her red carpet ensemble when she boarded a red-eye from L.A. to New York City through Delta Airlines. At the Euphoria Season 3 premiere, she walked the carpet sporting a sheer black bodysuit, beige corset shorts, stockings, wraparound shades, and a long coat.
Reports state that the actor had clearly just come from the red carpet when she boarded the flight later that evening. Delta staff claimed the Orange is the New Black actor appeared “out of it” while sitting in first class. Flight attendants had asked Lyonne to fasten her seatbelt and put away her laptop, but the actor didn’t respond.
As staff tried to get her to follow instructions, one passenger claims they witnessed the actor doxing off behind her sunglasses before getting startled and saying, “Ah! You scared me!” With Lyonne not having followed instructions, the laptop was removed from her hands as the plane taxied off the runway.

The Delta flight then returned to the gate with another airline staffer getting on board. They asked the actor if she needed medical attention, and told Lyonne she needed to get off the plane. Lyonne was overheard asking where they were, with the staffer confirming they were still in L.A. and the plane would not take off with her on board.
According to reports, Lyonne got up and used the bathroom before calmly exicting eating a bag of pretzels, and getting off the plane.
“We have a passenger who for whatever reason … wouldn’t follow some basic commands … We had a passenger who didn’t seem up to the task tonight so that’s why they were asked to be booked on another flight — I do apologize for the inconvenience, but we will get you to New York as quickly and as safely as possible,” said the captain, according to the reports.
Neither Lyonne nor her rep has commented on the incident. The Poker Face actor recently revealed to fans that she relapsed in her sobriety journey in January and was back on her feet. She joins Euphoria Season 3 as a guest character for the series’s final installment.
