“Yellowstone” actor Forrie J. Smith, after some “drinkin‘,” said he was tossed off a flight because he didn’t want to sit next to a masked passenger.
The cowboy actor known as the senior ranch hand on TV’s Yellowstone Dutton Ranch posted a video to Instagram Sunday, where he complained about being booted from a plane and winding up in a Texas airport
“I just got kicked off a plane, and, uh, where the hell am I at?” the 65-year-old performer asked.
After being told he was in Houston, Texas, Smith said he told airline staffers he didn’t feel comfortable having a seatmate who “had to” wear a mask, which led to his being grounded.
“Yeah, I been drinkin’,” he confessed. “I’ve been sitting in the airport for three hours. Yeah, I’m drinkin’, [but] I ain’t drunk.”
It’s not clear where Smith was headed or with which airline he butted heads, but he blamed the public for not sharing his anti-mask sentiments.
“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,” he claimed.
The anti-vaxx actor declined to attend the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Award ceremony with his castmates because COVID-19 vaccinations were required. Smith boasted at the time he doesn’t vaccinate his dogs either.
