Kevin Costner Shuts Down Gayle King
Kevin Costner shut down Gayle King as she tried to probe him on how his alleged demands for more money and reported feuds behind-the-scenes led to him quitting Yellowstone. Costner was vague when he formally announced his departure from the Paramount show last week amid mounting speculation of issues regarding pay, scheduling, and claims he had clashed with creator Taylor Sheridan. Yesterday on CBS Mornings, Kevin stressed that he loved the show and would go back in a second, but refused to reveal info on what really happened. Things got weird when Gayle voiced her confusion as she proceeded to ask what was preventing Kevin from returning to Yellowstone, while also raising the widespread reports of a feud. “But the characterization of you isn't necessarily flattering,” she said. “You made demands, you want to have a certain schedule, you want to shoot at a certain time, you want certain money. If it's not that hard, why can't the two of you be able to work it out? People would love to see that.” Kevin shot back with: “It's not therapy, Gayle. We're not going to discuss this on the show really, honestly.” “I'm a good therapist,” Gayle said. “I've conducted my life in a pretty straightforward way,” Kevin said. “I've never missed any obligations in my entire career, so the idea is wide open for me. It just happens to be like can I fall in love with the writing, can I fall in love with the part that wants to go forward?”
