Forrie Smith of ‘Yellowstone’ Says He Was ‘Kicked Off’ a Plane for Not Sitting Next to a Masked Passenger

Forrie Smith, known for his role on “Yellowstone,” reported that he was “kicked off” a plane for refusing to sit next to a passenger wearing a mask.

“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,” Smith, 65, said via Instagram on Saturday, March 23. “Like, I just got kicked off a plane in … where the hell am I at?”

A voice in the background interjected, “You’re at Houston.” “Houston, Texas,” he continued. “Because I told them that I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to somebody with a mask on.”

In the clip, Smith admitted that he had “been drinking.” He added, “I’ve been sitting in the airport for three hours, yeah, I’ve been drinking. I ain’t drunk.”

He continued, “But they threw me off the plane because I’m drunk. Because you people won’t stand up and tell everybody what bulls–t this is. I just told them I didn’t feel comfortable about sitting next to somebody who had to wear a mask and I’m off a plane.”

Smith started as a recurring character in the popular Paramount drama series during its first two seasons before being promoted to the main cast in season 3. He portrays Lloyd Pierce, a ranch hand at the Dutton Ranch.
