Yellowstone actor Forrie J. Smith says he was “kicked off a plane” for refusing to sit next to a passenger wearing a face mask. Smith previously disclosed that he was unvaccinated by choice, a stance which is often accompanied by being anti-mask. Yet few could claim to be so anti-mask that they’d risk being deplaned over it.
“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, who plays Lloyd Pierce on Taylor Sheridan’s flagship show, shared in a video posted on his Instagram. “Yeah, I’ve been drinking. I’ve been sitting in the airport for three hours, yeah, I’m drinking. But I ain’t drunk. But they throwed me off the plane ’cause I’m drunk ’cause you people won’t stand up and tell everybody what bullshit this is.”
Smith said he told “them” that he “didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to somebody that had to wear a mask,” and was subsequently “off the plane.” It’s unclear if Smith believed that the person “had” to wear a mask because they were sick, or if he simply objects to other people wearing masks in his presence under any condition. In either scenario, the airline would actually be obliging his request not to sit next to a masked passenger by removing him from the plane, so can it really be called getting “kicked off”?
There might be a legit reason the person was wearing a mask...perhaps s/he was ill and Smith didn't want to get whatever the person had.
Still seems stupid.

Maybe they didn't want to have to speak to some drunken tool actor who thinks he knows it all.
