Report Alleges On-Set Clash Between Kevin Costner and Wes Bentley Halted Yellowstone Production

A THR account relayed by Collider and SlashFilm cites unnamed sources describing a confrontation that led colleagues to back Taylor Sheridan.

Overview

  • According to the report, Costner pressed Wes Bentley to ignore Taylor Sheridan’s script and perform the scene his way, and Bentley refused, saying he joined to do a Sheridan series.
  • Sources say the dispute escalated into pushing and shoving before others separated them, and Kelly Reilly was left in tears.
  • Production was briefly paused following the confrontation, the outlets report.
  • Insiders described the incident as a turning point that shifted cast support away from Costner and toward Sheridan, with Costner’s behavior labeled “diva-like.”
  • Both outlets characterize the account as developing and based on unnamed on-set sources, with no on-the-record confirmation.
