“Yellowstone” actor Forrie J. Smith said he was removed from a flight after refusing to sit next to a passenger who was wearing a face mask.
Smith, stranded at a Houston airport, shared his experience in a video posted on Instagram.
“You know, my social media people tell me that you like me face-to-face, but you know what, I can’t say face-to-face what I want,” he said in the video, which he captioned, “You need to hear this story.”
“Like, I just got kicked off a plane and … 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, 65, admitted that he had been drinking but was not drunk.
“I’ve been sitting in an airport for three hours,” he said. “Yeah, 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 [expletive] this is.”
