An actor made a fuss on a plane about a person wearing a mask and the airline made a difficult decision

Forrie J. Smiththe actor he plays Lloyd in the Yellowstone series, he was stranded at the airport in Houston, Texas, after being thrown off the plane before takeoff.

Only one version of the story is known, since the airline – unknown until now – has not commented on the incident. According to the 65-year-old actor, the crew kicked him out after he refused to sit next to a person wearing a mask.

The expulsion may also have to do with the state of Smith, who, while claiming not to be drunk, said he had been drinking for hours at the airport.

The actor published a video on his Instagram account in which he explains what happened in an unclear way.”(…) I can’t say what I want to your face. They just threw me off a plane and… where ‘Is it finished the hell am I?’ “In Houston, Texas, because I told them I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to someone with a mask,” the actor complained.

He continued: “Yes, I drank. I’ve been sitting in an airport for three hours. Yes, I’m drinking. I’m not drunk, but they throw me off the plane because I’m drunkwhy don’t you guys stand up and tell everyone what nonsense this is.

“I simply told them I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to someone who had to wear a mask and got off the plane,” Smith concluded.

A background

This isn’t the first time Smith has had an issue with masks and what they entail.

In 2022 he missed the awards Film Actors Guild due to coronavirus protocols. The event required guests to be vaccinated and test negative for Covid.

At that point, Smith had made a video similar to the one from the flight to apologize to his followers for not being present at the ceremony: “I don’t want to offend anyone. I am not vaccinated and it is mandatory to get vaccinated”.

“I won’t get vaccinated. I haven’t been vaccinated since I was little. Don’t vaccinate my dogs, don’t vaccinate my horses. I have never had the flu shot. Never. I think they compromise their immunities“He added. Eventually, the clip was deleted.

Smith appears in three seasons of the series Taylor Sheridan hero Kevin Costner which just became popular outside the US with its recent arrival on Netflix.
