Natasha Lyonne is stepping out after a reported travel mishap.
The Poker Face star, 47, attended the Lorne premiere in New York City on Thursday, April 9, just one day after she was reportedly escorted off a Delta flight following an alleged onboard incident.
Lyonne had been traveling from Los Angeles to New York after attending the L.A. premiere of season three of Euphoria, in which she appears as a guest star, when the incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday, April 7, according to Page Six.
According to the outlet, Lyonne boarded a red-eye flight at Los Angeles International Airport, where flight attendants asked her to close her laptop and fasten her seatbelt before takeoff. She allegedly did not respond to repeated requests and appeared to be dozing behind sunglasses, per Page Six, which did not identify its source.

The plane taxied to the runway before returning to the gate, where passengers were reportedly told one traveler would need to be rebooked. Lyonne was then escorted off the aircraft with her belongings by a gate agent, and the flight was delayed by just over an hour, according to the outlet.
Delta declined to comment, and PEOPLE has reached out to Lyonne's representative but did not receive an immediate response. PEOPLE has not independently confirmed the reported incident.
Despite the reported travel disruption, Lyonne appeared at the New York premiere the following day.
The Poker Face star also took to X on April 9 to share a message that referenced her travel experience, writing, “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. Who owns page six/New York Post now again?”
The actress has recently been open about her personal journey as well. Earlier this year, she shared in a Jan. 23 post on X that she had experienced a relapse, writing, “Took my relapse public more to come.” She later followed up in a now-deleted post, explaining she hoped sharing her experience could help others.
“Recovery is a lifelong process. Anyone out there struggling, remember you're not alone. Grateful for love & smart feet,” she wrote, adding, “Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets. If no one told ya today, I love you.”
In March, Lyonne offered an update, saying she was “back on her feet” three months later and thanking her support system.

“Want to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive,” she wrote, adding that she hopes to keep parts of her journey private while continuing to share when it feels right.
Lyonne has also previously spoken to PEOPLE about making lifestyle changes, including quitting vaping.
“I'll be honest. It's the worst decision I ever made,” she said at the NBCUniversal Emmys Kick-Off Luncheon in April 2023, before explaining that the decision reflected a larger commitment to her future. “I still wanna write and direct movies… I wanna get to have more life.”
