Yellowstone/Peacock

Yellowstone star Forrie J Smith claims he was ‘kicked off’ a flight and left stranded in Houston after refusing to sit next to a passenger who was wearing a mask.

Smith took to Instagram on Saturday to say: “I just got kicked off a plane.

“Because I told them I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to somebody with a mask on.

“I’ve been sitting in an airport for three hours. Ya, I’m drinking.

“I ain’t drunk, but they throw me off the plane because I’m drunk, because you people won’t stand up and tell everybody what bulls**t this is”.

Smith, who plays Lloyd Pierce in the series, added: “I just told them I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to somebody that had to wear a mask, and I’m off the plane”.

The video then cuts off.

The actor didn’t comment on which airline he was using.

The star has been vocal about his beliefs on public health before, skipping the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2022 when they required stars to have Covid vaccinations.

In a now-deleted video on the platform, he said at the time: “I’m not vaccinated, I will not get vaccinated.

“I believe they compromise your immunities… It’s no offense to anyone. It’s just my beliefs. I just don’t believe in that stuff”.
