was reportedly removed from a Delta plane after failing to respond to flight attendants asking her to turn off her laptop and fasten her seatbelt. 

Page Six reported that Lyonne appeared 'out of it' as she prepared to depart on Tuesday, hours after attending the season three premiere of  in Hollywood.

The incident comes three months after Lyonne revealed after being sober for nearly 10 years. 

Lyonne was sitting in first class and still wearing some of the clothing she wore at the premiere when the drama began.

An eyewitness observed Lyonne being given instructions by multiple flight attendants, and the actress was reportedly dozing off during the mishap. 

She was heard telling flight attendants at one point: 'Ah! You scared me!'

The staff were eventually able to retrieve her laptop and the plane taxied onto the runway before it returned to the gate, where a Delta staffer boarded to speak to Lyonne. 

'Ma’am, do you need medical attention?' the staffer reportedly asked Lyonne. 'Ma’am, I need you to come off the plane. Do you need help with your belongings?'

The captain later revealed they had dealt with a passenger unable to follow 'basic commands' as they addressed the more than hour-long delay with travelers. 

'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,' the captain reportedly said. 

The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Lyonne and Delta for comment but did not immediately hear back. 

The incident comes three months after she revealed she suffered a relapse.  

'Took my relapse public, more to come,' Lyonne told her 545.5k followers, who showered her with support.

'Thanks, boss … for the grace, etc.,' the actress wrote in response to one bolstering comment. 'Sending love back your way. May become a pothead or a nun. TBD.'

Lyonne didn't give an exact time frame of when the relapse occurred or how, but she stressed that 'recovery is a lifelong process.'

'Anyone out there struggling, remember you're not alone,' her written message continued on Saturday, January 24.

'Grateful for love and smart feet. Gonna do it for baby Bambo. Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets.'

Lyonne was making headlines in the early to mid-2000s but not the nice kind: a drunk-driving arrest, a run-in with a neighbor resulting in a court appearance, hospitalization for hepatitis C, a collapsed lung and infective endocarditis and later open-heart surgery to correct damage done.

In 2006 at age 27, she checked into an in-patient rehab for treatment for her drug and alcohol abuse.

'Eventually, I made it through those dark nights of the soul,' Lyonne told The Times in 2024.

Lyonne has seen a career resurgence in her 40s, and recently she has shifted her focus away from starring roles to directing, writing and producing, such as the 1980s-set boxing film Bambo.
