News is coming in that Kevin Smith was apparently ‘too fat’ and was removed from his recent flight.

Film producer and director Kevin Smith was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Los Angeles after crew members determined that he was too overweight and insisted he would have to purchase two seats instead of one in order to fly.

Smith made the accusation in a posting on his Twitter account on Saturday evening.

A Southwest spokesperson at Oakland International Airport confirmed the incident to CBS 5 and said the airline was in contact with Smith.

The spokesperson indicated that Southwest flight crews are empowered to make the determination as to whether a passenger can be required to purchase two seats.

Smith later tweeted that he was allowed to board another Southwest flight without a problem, but he didn’t indicate whether he had to buy a second seat.

Smiths directing credits include the movies “Clerks,” “Dogma,” “Chasing Amy” and “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.”
