'Yellowstone' Star Claims He Was Kicked Off Plane Over Mask Issue, Denies Being Drunk: VIDEO

"Yellowstone" star Forrie J. Smith was booted from a plane, and he claims it was all over a mask.

The rancher turned actor is famous for playing Lloyd on the hit neo-Western series from Taylor Sheridan, and there's no doubt he's a fan favorite.

He's as authentic as it gets when it comes to being a cowboy because it's what he actually does. He's also been open about the fact he thinks COVID hysteria went way too far, and he was open about not getting vaccinated.

Well, things apparently hit a boiling point when the person next to him on the plane was wearing a mask.

Forrie J. Smith says he was thrown off a plane over a mask issue.

"I just got kicked off a plane in...Where the hell am I at? Houston, Texas because I told them I didn't feel comfortable sitting next to someone with a mask on. Yeah, I've been drinking. I've been sitting in the airport for three hours. Yeah, I'm drinking, but 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 bullsh*t this is. I just told them I didn't feel comfortable about sitting next to somebody that had to wear a mask, and I'm off the plane," Smith said in a video posted over the weekend.

The now-viral video is certainly…….something to behold. Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Do we think it was over a mask or the claim he had enjoyed himself just a bit too much? Only Smith can say, but I'm definitely stealing the line, "Yeah, I'm drinking, but I ain't drunk."

That's going to be golden with the girlfriend after some more college basketball and beers in the coming days. It's a golden quote if I've ever heard one. Control the narrative before the narrative controls you.

Speaking of masks, I'm still always stunned by how many people I still see wearing them. It's 2024, and people are still going through that entire charade.

Clearly, Smith has no interest in participating or being near anyone who does. Again, it's not actually clear if that's why he was removed from a plane, but that's his version of events.

Check back for any further developments that might roll in, and let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com what you think of the situation.
