Natasha Lyonne’s recent red-eye flight turned into a headline-grabbing saga. The actress was removed from a flight from LA to NYC after not responding to flight attendants, leading her to claim she was detained by ICE. However, the Department of Homeland Security was quick to step in, denying any involvement and clarifying that neither ICE nor TSA had anything to do with her removal.
In a twist, Lyonne later attributed her behavior to a sleeping pill taken before the flight. Despite the tumultuous travel experience, she was able to make it to NYC in time for the premiere of“Lorne,”a documentary about Lorne Michaels. Who knew a little white pill could spark such a big commotion? After all, next time maybe she’ll consider just a good cup of coffee instead of a sleepy flight!
