Taylor Sheridan Faces Heat for Casting Bella Hadid on ‘Yellowstone’
The latest episode of “Yellowstone” featuring creator Taylor Sheridan as Travis has sparked controversy due to his character’s relationship with supermodel Bella Hadid. Fan reactions range from frustration over the focus on Sheridan’s character to praise for his creative genius. Amid the chaos, there are whispers of a possible spinoff, hinting that the Dutton saga may not be quite finished yet!
In the latest episode of “Yellowstone,” creator Taylor Sheridan has stirred up some good ol’ fan discontent by casting Bella Hadid as his character’s girlfriend. The episode revolves around Travis, the horseman played by Sheridan, who definitely enjoys the spotlight as he engages in a raucous strip poker game with some ladies and flaunts his horse-riding skills. Hadid, meanwhile, questions the relationship with a rather condescending Travis when she quips, “You ever seen him ride before?” Guess tennis has some serious competition in the ‘wild west’ poker scene!
Fans were split; some revelled in the drama while others slammed Sheridan for taking too much screen time. “15 mins of story wasted on Taylor Sheridan showboating,” one fan wrote furiously. Another added, “We don’t care about Travis! Get your ego in check for the final showdown, please!” And yes, folks, the drama is real—it’s like watching a horse without a saddle!
Amid the rants, there were a few cheers for Sheridan: “Taylor Sheridan is an absolute genius!” said one optimistic viewer. While others commented on his casting choice, saying it was the most realistic thing he’d ever done. I suppose him wanting to date a supermodel is the stuff of dreams!
As for Kevin Costner’s absence—blame it on scheduling issues with his film, leaving fans wondering who’s to blame for this season turning into a soap opera. Some fans compared Sheridan and Costner’s mishaps with the feuding Cowboys’ coach and owner, suggesting they might be the new Hollywood
power couple – just without the romance!
While viewers await the final verdict on this wild ride of a show, executive producer Christina Voros assured the audience that all is not lost. In response to John Dutton’s exit, she shared that the series has been organic, but with fans now clamouring for a spinoff, things are looking more like a rodeo than a polite tea party.
Rumours about a possible spinoff led by Beth and Rip are swirling, suggesting the Dutton saga isn’t quite over yet. If a season six or a new show happens, one can only hope it brings back the core cast of characters and less of the flashy antics! Besides, who really needs to see all that strip poker when there are ranching dramas to unfold?
So, stay tuned for the final rodeo, folks! We’ll have to see if Sheridan can lasso the last episode into something more than just his ego riding round and round on a horse!
In sum, Taylor Sheridan’s cameo as Travis alongside Bella Hadid has split fans right down the middle, some relishing his screen time while others want more focus on the Dutton family saga. Despite some grumbles about the season’s pacing and dramatic changes, there’s hope for a potential spinoff, keeping the Dutton dream alive. Our collective fingers are crossed for an uproarious finale that circles back to its epic roots!
