Kevin Costner’s Alleged Fight With Yellowstone’s Wes Bentley Revealed

Costner and Bentley clashed over script changes, causing a physical confrontation that halted production and left costar Kelly Reilly in tears, sources said.

  • On Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter published an exposé detailing an alleged on-set altercation between Kevin Costner, 70, and Wes Bentley, 47, during Yellowstone filming.

  • Eyewitnesses described how tensions escalated, resulting in the men pushing and shoving until separated, with Kelly Reilly left in tears and production briefly halted.
  • Bentley’s representative told The Hollywood Reporter that the incident was a professional disagreement that occurred while filming a challenging and intense scene, and that it was subsequently addressed and settled.
  • After this incident, Costner exited Yellowstone six episodes before the series finale as the fifth season was split, and did not return for the final batch of episodes.
