Natasha Lyonne attended the New York City premiere of the documentary 'Lorne' just days after reports surfaced that she was allegedly asked to leave a flight from Los Angeles to New York on Tuesday, April 7. The 47-year-old actress wore a black dress and white button-down shirt for the event, which was also attended by stars like Amy Schumer, David Letterman, and Anna Wintour.

Why it matters

The reported incident on the flight has raised questions about Lyonne's well-being and behavior, as the 'Poker Face' star is typically known for her professionalism. Her attendance at the 'Lorne' premiere suggests she is moving forward despite the alleged travel disruption.

The details

According to reports, Lyonne was allegedly asked to leave a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York on Tuesday, April 7, just hours after attending the premiere of 'Euphoria' season 3. Eyewitnesses claimed Lyonne seemed 'out of it' and did not respond when flight attendants asked her to close her laptop and fasten her seatbelt. The plane reportedly returned to the gate, and a Delta staff member boarded to ask Lyonne if she needed medical attention before she eventually deboarded with her luggage. The flight was delayed for over an hour.
