Yellowstone’s Taylor Sheridan once sued this cast member over a dispute – it wasn’t Kevin Costner!

Yellowstone fans know that Taylor Sheridan is a master of drama. But what if we told you that some of the most chaotic moments aren’t on screen? Yes, Sheridan went full cowboy mode and sued one of his Yellowstone members over something unexpected: coffee. And no, it wasn’t Kevin Costner. This time it was Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler).

Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch goes after Hauser’s Free Rein Coffee over a logo – cue dramatic music. According to Screen Rant, Bosque Ranch — the same ranch where Yellowstone is filmed — has beef with Free Reins’ logo that looks too much like its own.

Both logos have intertwined letters – “BR” for Bosque Ranch and “FR” for Free Rein. The Sheridans are suing for trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising, saying Hauser’s brand is trying to confuse the public. Practice

But this isn’t Sheridan’s first showdown. In 2023, rumors began swirling of a major fallout between Sheridan and Kevin Costner. Apparently, Costner avoided filming the second half of Yellowstone Season 5. Sheridan was annoyed, and the world of Yellowstone was bracing itself for some serious behind-the-scenes drama. But Costner and his team quickly shot down those rumors, claiming it was all about unpaid wages and creative differences. Costner even quit, and suddenly Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 became its grand finale.

So while the Duttons were busy unraveling on screen, Sheridan and Hauser’s coffee-related legal battle was going on behind the scenes. Sheridan had launched its Bosque Ranch coffee in June and teamed up with Louisiana’s Community Coffee to roast beans that would give you a taste of the West (or, you know, Duttons). But now it looks like Free Rein might be stirring things up with its logo and trying to ride the coat tails of Bosque Ranch’s growing fame.

Is it a branding mistake or a deliberate rip-off? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – this coffee feud is hotter than a Yellowstone campfire. Taylor Sheridan may have created a show full of epic showdowns, but now he’s acting out his own courtroom drama in real life. So the next time you brew a cup of Bosque Ranch coffee, just know that it’s not just Duttons that keep things intense in the West. It turns out that the world of coffee branding can be just as wild.

Who knew Yellowstone had more drama going on off-screen than we ever expected?
