Natasha Lyonne reveals relapse after 10 years of sobriety
Natasha Lyonne — who battled drug and alcohol addictions in the mid-2000s — revealed she’s no longer sober in a candid social media post.
“Took my relapse public more to come,” she wrote via X on Friday evening.
She added in a subsequent tweet, “Recovery is a lifelong process. Anyone out there struggling, remember you’re not alone. Grateful for love & smart feet.”
“Gonna do it for baby Bambo,” she wrote, referencing the title of her upcoming movie about hockey player Sophie “Bambo” Braverman.
“Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets,” the post continued. “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.”
Though the “Poker Face” star, 46, didn’t offer additional details, she did engage with supportive followers in the comments thread.
One wrote, “Life is hard right now, and I don’t think anyone in their right mind would question how or why this happened. You had nearly 20 years. You’ll make it back again. Sending you a lot of love. Take care of you, f–k the rest.”
The “Slums of Beverly Hills” actress replied by quipping, “Thanks, boss. There but for the grace, etc. Sending love back your way. May become a pothead or a nun. TBD.”
“Ignore the haters. You’re amazing,” another fan wrote, with Lyonne replying, “Thanks & know it. Got low self esteem but not imposter syndrome. Love u all.”
After a series of run-ins with the law and health troubles in the mid-2000s arising from substance abuse issues — including being evicted from her building by fellow actor Michael Rappaport, who was her landlord at the time — the “American Pie” actress ultimately entered treatment in 2006.
She’s since made a notable comeback to acting, appearing in “Orange is the New Black” and “Russian Doll,” among others, and nabbed multiple SAG Awards and Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.
In a 2019 interview with The Cut, the actress revealed that her setbacks gave her something to say going forward.
“I would’ve gotten to all this sooner, and I would’ve felt more confident and written better emails,” she told the outlet at the time. “At the same time, I guess those are the same years I spent developing something to say.”
Elsewhere in the interview, she added, “Having such a specific experience enabled me to have a specific point of view, even though it was a nightmare getting through so much of it.”
