Natasha Lyonne is opening up about a deeply personal struggle.
The acclaimed actress has revealed that she has relapsed after nearly a decade of sobriety.
The 46-year-old star took to X on Friday night (January 24) to share the news with her followers. In a brief but candid post, she wrote:
“Took my relapse public more to come.”
Since then, the ‘Orange is the New Black’ star has been engaging with people online, offering words of encouragement and solidarity to others navigating similar battles. Her messages have been raw, honest, and filled with compassion.
“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. 🎥❤️🥊 Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets. If no one told ya today, I love you.”
She continued with another heartfelt message:
“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.”
Lyonne, who has been open about quitting alcohol in 2006, is currently working on ‘Bambo,’ an upcoming film about Sophie “Bambo” Braverman. The project appears to be a source of motivation for her during this challenging time.
