Yellowstone actor Forrie J. Smith said he is skipping the upcoming Screen Actors Guild Awards because he will not get the COVID-19 vaccine, The Hollywood Reporter reported on Wednesday
All attendees to the award show must show proof of vaccination against COVID-19, and Smith has said he has no intention of getting the shot.
“I want to apologize to y’all for not being at the Screen Actors Guild Awards — I mean no offense to anyone,” Smith said in an Instagram post, according to THR. “I’m not vaccinated, and it’s a requirement to be vaccinated to be at the Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony.”
The Instagram post has since been deleted.
He added, according to the report: “I’m not vaccinated. I will not get vaccinated. I haven’t been vaccinated since I was a little kid. I don’t vaccinate my dogs; I don’t vaccinate my horses. I’ve never had a flu shot — I never will. I believe they compromise your immunities.”
