The Hollywood actress appeared unfazed at the premiere of "Lorne" in New York despite the turbulence she faced just days earlier when she was escorted off a plane in Los Angeles on April 7 after reportedly being unresponsive to crew members' requests.

Lyonne was all smiles at the event on April 9, rocking a black midi dress over a white button-up shirt, paired with black boots.

On Friday, the "Orange is the New Black" actress addressed the reports of her removal from the flight earlier this week, claiming that she'd taken a sleeping pill after boarding.

Lyonne said her plan was to "be bushy tailed & beauty rested," as she was scheduled to head straight to glam for an event with Drew Barrymore upon landing. 

However, things took an unexpected twist when she was allegedly detained by ICE. 

"Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess," Lyonne wrote in part.

According to reports, she did not respond when flight attendants asked her to close her laptop and fasten her seat belt for takeoff. Concern escalated after the plane had already taxied.

"Where are we?" Lyonne reportedly responded, before being told, "We're still in L.A. The plane hasn't gone anywhere. The plane is not going anywhere until you come off it."

The actress ultimately de-boarded voluntarily.

The captain later addressed passengers, saying, "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."

Fox News Digital has reached out to Lyonne and Delta for comment.

The moment also comes months after she publicly revealed a relapse following a decade of sobriety.

"Took my relapse public more to come," Lyonne wrote on X in January. "Recovery is a lifelong process. Anyone out there struggling, remember you're not alone. Grateful for love & smart feet."

"Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets," she added. "If no one told ya today, I love you. No matter how far down the scales we have gone, we will see how our experience may help another. Keep going, kiddos. Don't quit before the miracle. Wallpaper your mind with love. Rest is all noise & baloney."

The "Russian Doll" actress shared a more hopeful update last month: "Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet. Want to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive. Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense. My heart is with everyone ever going through it."
