Two months after Natasha Lyonne revealed that she had relapsed after ten years of sobriety, the actor once again took to social media to thank fans for their support and share that she is now back on her feet.
“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,” she wrote on social media on March 19.
In late January, Lyonne had shared that she had relapsed via two since-deleted posts, writing, “Took my relapse public more to come.” She went on to add, “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. 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.”
Bambo is Lyonne’s upcoming film, which she is set to write and direct, about a New York boxing promoter struggling to balance his career and fatherhood. It was previously announced that her directorial debut would be Uncanny Valley, from her AI production studio, Asteria, using a combination of AI tools and “traditional” filmmaking techniques — news that quickly prompted backlash. Her Rian Johnson–helmed Peacock show, Poker Face, was canceled in November 2025 after two seasons, though it was reported that the series was being shopped around to other networks with Peter Dinklage replacing Lyonne as the lead.
