Actress Natasha Lyonne addressed her recent flight mishap with humor, describing the experience as a 'performance art piece.' Lyonne was removed from a Delta flight in Los Angeles after appearing unresponsive during preflight checks, which she attributed to taking sleep medication Lunesta. She also claimed she was briefly detained by ICE, though a DHS spokesperson denied this. Lyonne shared that she boarded the flight simply to rest en route to her appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' and has since taken multiple flights without issues.
During an interview with Page Six, Lyonne joked about the incident, calling it a 'kooky moment' and emphasizing her resilience, having flown multiple times after the event. The actress reflected on her struggles with sobriety and relapsed publicly in January, offering a message of hope and recovery. She also humorously referenced her incident at a Planned Parenthood gala, comparing her attitude to that of Pink, and reaffirmed her commitment to her recovery journey amidst the chaos of recent times.
