Natasha Lyonne speaks out after being escorted off flight for being ‘out of it’

1 hour ago 3

Natasha Lyonne is speaking out after she was kicked off a Delta flight for exhibiting abnormal behavior.

The actress wrote on X Thursday, “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,” she added after missing her scheduled appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” Thursday.

She also gave Page Six a shoutout after we broke the news.

“Who owns page six/New York Post now again?”

Lyonne was seen being removed from a flight from LA to NYC just hours after appearing on the red carpet at the Season 3 premiere of HBO’s “Euphoria” Sunday.

On the flight, she seemed out of it in a first class seat, and when flight attendants asked her to close her laptop and fasten her seatbelt for takeoff, she didn’t respond. 

According to an eyewitness, numerous flight attendants repeatedly tried to get the star to follow their commands, and she seemed to be dozing behind her sunglasses — even getting startled at one point and saying, “Ah! You scared me!”

Her laptop was eventually taken out of her hands and the plane taxied to the runway, but then later turned back to the gate.

Lyonne eventually obediently got off the plane when asked to.

The captain told the crowded flight after the plane had been delayed a little over an hour, “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.”
