'Yellowstone' actor Forrie Smith to skip SAG Awards because of vaccination requirement

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."

Smith is nominated as part of the ensemble cast for the Best TV Drama series.

The SAG awards are set to air on Feburary 27 on TNT and TBS.
