Natasha Lyonne has opened up about her journey to sobriety, including a recent stumble along the way.

The actress, best known for her role in Poker Face, has been candid about her struggles with drug and alcohol addiction that date back to the mid-2000s. On Friday night, Lyonne revealed on X that she had experienced a relapse.

“Took my relapse public more to come,” she shared, indicating her intention to speak more on the matter in the future.

In a follow-up message, Lyonne highlighted the continuous nature of recovery, reminding others who are facing similar challenges that they are not alone. “Recovery is a lifelong process. Anyone out there struggling, remember you’re not alone. Grateful for love & smart feet,” she wrote.

Lyonne also found motivation in her upcoming creative endeavors, particularly a film project focused on the life of hockey player Sophie “Bambo” Braverman. “Gonna do it for baby Bambo,” she added, signaling her determination to persevere.

In a longer, deeply personal post, the actress encouraged honesty and connection while offering words of comfort to others who may be struggling.

“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.”

While the 46-year-old didn’t provide additional details about the relapse itself, she remained active in the replies, engaging with fans who offered support and encouragement.

One follower 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.”

Lyonne responded with her signature humor, quipping, “Thanks, boss. There but for the grace, etc. Sending love back your way. May become a pothead or a nun. TBD.”

Another fan urged her to block out negativity, writing, “Ignore the haters. You’re amazing,” to which Lyonne replied, “Thanks & know it. Got low self esteem but not imposter syndrome. Love u all.”

Lyonne’s history with substance abuse is well documented. In the mid-2000s, she faced a series of legal and health issues tied to addiction, including being evicted from her apartment by then-landlord Michael Rapaport. She ultimately entered treatment in 2006.

Since then, Lyonne has staged a widely praised comeback, starring in projects like Orange Is the New Black and Russian Doll, earning multiple SAG Awards along with Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.

She has previously described the period as deeply painful. The actress once said it was a “nightmare getting through so much” of her addiction battle.

In a 2019 interview with The Cut, Lyonne reflected on how those difficult years shaped her voice as a writer and performer.

“I would’ve gotten to all this sooner, and I would’ve felt more confident and written better emails,” she said 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.”
