Yellowstone actor disembarked for objecting to someone’s mask

yellow stone Actor Forrie J. Smith says he was “kicked off a plane” for refusing to sit next to a passenger wearing a mask. Smith previously revealed that he was not vaccinated by choice, a stance that is often accompanied by an anti-mask attitude. However, few could claim to be so anti-mask as to risk being fired for it.

“I just got kicked off a plane in… where the hell am I? Houston, Texas, because I told them I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to someone wearing a mask,” said Smith, who plays Lloyd Pierce in Taylor SheridanThe flagship program, shared in a video posted on their Instagram. “Yes, I have been drinking. I’ve been sitting at the airport for three hours, yes, I’m drinking. But I’m not drunk. But they kicked me off the plane because I was drunk and you guys didn’t stand up and tell everyone what the fuck this is.”

Smith said he told “them” that he “didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to someone who had to wear a mask” and was subsequently “taken off the plane.” It is unclear whether Smith believed the person “had” to wear a mask because she was sick, or whether he simply objects to other people wearing masks in his presence under any conditions. In either scenario, the airline would actually be honoring your request not to sit next to a masked passenger by removing them from the plane, so can this really be called being “kicked off”?

According VarietySmith skipped the SAG Awards in 2022 (when yellow stone was nominated for best ensemble) due to its rules around vaccines. “I want to apologize to everyone for not being at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I do not want to offend anyone. “I am not vaccinated and it is a requirement to be vaccinated,” he said in a video posted on social media. “I am not vaccinated, I will not be vaccinated. I haven’t been vaccinated since I was little. Not vaccinating my dogs, not vaccinating my horses. I have never had a flu vaccine. I will never do it. I think they compromise your immunities… They’re just my beliefs. I just don’t believe in those things. Whatever.”
