Natasha Lyonne took to X on Friday to reveal she has relapsed. The “Poker Face” star struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol throughout the 2000s.

“Took my relapse public more to come,” she wrote Friday night. Hours later, in a follow-up post, she added, “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.”

In response to a fan supporting her’s openness, Lyonne wrote, “We need better systems and to end shame – bill the sacklers & stilettos or something but don’t @ me for getting honest.”

Lyonne discussed her addiction in a 2012 interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying at the time she was “wary” about publicly acknowledging her substance abuse problem.

“It’s weird to talk about. I was definitely as good as dead, you know? A lot of people don’t come back,” Lyonne said. “That makes me feel wary, and self-conscious. I wouldn’t want to feel prideful about it. People really rallied around me and pulled me up by my fucking bootstraps.”
