"We strongly deny that Mr. Kattan would ever refuse to wear a mask. Mr. Kattan is fully vaccinated and unequivocally supports CDC guidelines," Smith said. "This past Monday Mr. Kattan was returning to Los Angeles from a successful tour of comedy shows. Unfortunately, Mr. Kattan suffered a strong allergic reaction to supplements he has been taking to treat lingering neck pain from his injury on SNL. This reaction affected his balance and psychological state. The effects also caused him to have trouble breathing."

Smith concluded: "Mr. Kattan sends a warning out to all his fans suffering through back and neck injury... ‘apparently, not all supplements are created equally!’” The lawyer claimed Kattan was able to catch the next flight back to L.A.
