Plan was to be bushy tailed & beauty rested, as I was meant to head straight to glam for a slot with our beloved @DrewBarrymore, upon landing.”
“Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead,” the Emmy nominee continued. “Sign of the times, I guess. Thanks for all the love and support. Never had a problem with @Delta or @TSA before. Heart is with our unpaid @TSA workers. ???????? Apologies to any travelers who were delayed.”
