Natasha Lyonne, pictured at the April 9 premiere of "Lorne," spoke out after media reports emerged that she was removed from a commercial airline flight.

Natasha Lyonne isn't letting a little turbulence slow her down.

The Emmy-nominated actress spoke out on social media after media reports emerged that she was removed from a commercial airline flight earlier this week.

According to Page Six, the incident occurred around Tuesday, April 7, a few hours after Lyonne, 47, attended the Season 3 premiere of "Euphoria" in Los Angeles. (Lyonne appears in the latest season of the HBO drama.)

Lyonne, who was reportedly boarding a red-eye flight to New York City on Delta Air Lines, was allegedly escorted off the plane after failing to follow flight instructions, per the outlet, which included closing her laptop and fastening her seatbelt before takeoff.

Zendaya led the stars who wowed on the red carpet for HBO's "Euphoria." Season 3 was unveiled with a gala premiere on April 7, 2026, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. See who else stepped out.

The "Poker Face" star seemed to reference the incident in an April 9 X post, saying as a result she missed an appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show."

"My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports," Lyonne wrote. "Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with @DrewBarrymore yesterday but guess [it] wasn't in the cards. Who owns Page Six/New York Post now again?"

"No matter how far down the scales we have gone, we will see how our experience may help another," Lyonne continued. "Keep going, kiddos. Don't quit before the miracle. Wallpaper your mind with love. Rest is all noise [and] baloney."
