Why Taylor Sheridan once demanded one of Yellowstone’s main actors

The game of “Yellowstone” by Kevin Costner and the subsequent legal drama have been well documented, but he is not the only actor in the series who will almost go to court with Showrunner, and an occasional star, Taylor Sheridan. Cole Hauser, who plays the reliable murderer by the hand of the Dutton family/resident murderer Rip Wheeler in the neo-western drama, was sued by Sheridan for a coffee dispute. And think that the “Yellowstone” characters respective of both men are the best friends.

As documented by LooperSheridan’s Forest Ranch Craft Coffee Company sued Hauser’s free Rinco Café for violation of registered trademarks, false advertising and unfair competition. Essentially, the Ranch forest people felt that the Free Rein logo copied their own emblem, arguing that the similarities damaged their brand since customers could mix them. In addition, the lawsuit claimed that the Coffee brand of Hauser cheated Sheridan, since the marketing of both companies presented an iconography of the cowboy, which further complicates things.

Rip Wheeler and Travis Wheatley of Sheridan would probably have resolved the dispute with a bunk fight or riding competition. Fortunately, the actors behind the macho cowboys on the screen are more civilized than their cowboy counterparts on the screen, so their legal problems did not result in serious consequences.

The legal drama between Taylor Sheridan and Cole Hauser ended shortly after it began. The old lawyers requested that demand fall a month after presenting it, and the rest is history. The result also prohibits the forest ranch from demanding again in the future, so if there are future disputes between the two students of “Yellowstone”, they will probably not be related to coffee.

However, the good news is that there seems to be no bad blood between Hauser and the prolific showrunner. Cole Hauser will star in his own “Yellowstone” Spin-Off with Kelly Reilly, suggesting that he and Sheridan are more than happy to work together. It is also worth noting that Rip Wheeler is strongly portrayed during the entire “Yellowstone”, which is more than you can say about John Dutton by Kevin Costner, who was conveniently killed and left in a bath after touching the heads With Sheridan behind the scene. So, really, it could have been worse for the actor.
