“Yellowstone” actor Forrie J. Smith said he was kicked off an airplane over the weekend because he refused to sit beside a masked passenger.
The 65-year-old said he was stranded at the airport in Houston, Texas, because he spoke up about another passenger wearing a face covering.
“I just got kicked off a plane in — where the hell am I at? — Houston, Texas, because I told them I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to somebody with a mask on,” Smith said.
“I’ve been sitting in the airport for three hours, yeah, I’m drinking,” he added. “But I ain’t drunk. But they throwed me off the plane because I’m drunk because you people won’t stand up and tell everybody what bulls**t this is.”
“I just told them I didn’t feel comfortable about sitting next to somebody that had to wear a mask,” Smith continued. “And I’m off the plane.”
In February 2022, Smith said in a then-deleted Instagram post that he would not be attending the Screen Actors Guild awards over its vaccine requirements.
“I want to apologize to y’all for not being at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I mean no offense to anyone,” Smith said at the time.
“It’s a requirement to be vaccinated. I’m not vaccinated. I will not get vaccinated.”
