According to a representative for Bentley, the argument occurred during the filming of a physically and emotionally “difficult” scene. The incident sparked rumors about Kevin Costner’s behavior on the set of the series.

The representative told The Hollywood Reporter that Kevin Costner nearly got physical with Wes Bentley due to a creative disagreement between the two actors during a conversation scene with Kelly Reilly.
Costner allegedly suggested that his co-star deviate slightly from Taylor Sheridan’s script, but Bentley insisted on following the director and writer’s vision.
“Kevin didn’t like that and moved toward [Bentley],” said a source present on set to THR. “No punches were thrown, but they were face to face, pushing and shouting, until they had to be separated,” the source continued.
The source also stated that the incident changed the crew’s relationship with Wes and that Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner began clashing. “Everyone liked Wes, and that really upset Taylor. […] It all became very awkward.”
Later, Costner left the series six episodes before the end. The fifth and final season was split into two parts, and he did not return for the second half of the episodes.
Some sources reported that Costner left the show because the scripts were not being written quickly enough for him to complete his work.
