okay Cowboys and cowg girlss put on your hats and saddle up your horses because in this video we are going to carefully connect the dots about everything that has happened behind the scenes over the past 6 months all the rumors that circulated around Kevin coster's departure from Yellowstone and after so many months of waiting we have the answer all the fans are eager to know you won't believe it but I'm warning you because this is not some kind of good news and you will know why so keep watching Kevin Cosner just broke his silence about the real reason why he's leaving the show the timeline of er's departure the fifth and final season of Yellowstone was planned to be split into two thrilling Parts they had an ambitious 14 episodes in mind but sometimes plans go a little sideways the first half of season 5 was dropped in 2022 giving us a roller coaster of Eight Episodes but when the filming of the second half came in they had high hopes of bringing it to our screens in the sizzling summer of 2023 yet they hadn't even hit the record button on those episodes in May 2023 Paramount sweeps in with an update That season 5 part 2 is set to light up our screens in November and they're supposed to start filming in August but with the SAG after and wga going on strike that timeline might be as unpredictable as the next Yellowstone Cliffhanger however there's the silver lining in a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter in June of 2023 the show's Mastermind Taylor Sheran hinted at something that'll get your heart Rodeo the finale might just pack in more episodes than we initially thought he said if I think it takes 10 episodes to wrap it up they'll give me 10 it'll be as long as it needs to be why does Kevin Cosner want to leave Yellowstone so starting in February there's news that Kevin Cosner decided to step back from Yellowstone because he got his eyes set on Horizon a grand epic Western Saga of four movies where he is the director co-writer and starring in it but you won't believe this keep watching because the news takes Center Stage suggesting that Cosner's passion for Horizon kept him too busy for Yellowstone and again way back in February 2023 deadline reported that cner was planning to wrap up the remaining six episodes episodes in just 7 days but Cosner's attorney jumped in and said the idea that Kevin was only willing to work one week on the second half of season 5 of Yellowstone is an absolute lie now fast forward to June a mysterious Source stepped up defending cner in a chat with The Hollywood Reporter as for this Source shared and failed to provide the script when Cosner was ready to shoot the second half of season 5 the source exclaimed Kevin's been unfairly portrayed in this thing how can you schedule something when there are no scripts Sheridan's doing eight other shows and then after that there were Whispers of a rift between Cosner and Sheridan however Sheridan Standing Tall amidst the storm clarified I don't dictate the schedule I don't determine when things start filming I don't determine when things air those decisions are made by people way above me my sphere of control is the content that's it and in a heartwarming gesture Sheridan tipped his hat to Cosner praising him for facing the media storm saying he took a lot of this on the chin and I don't know that anyone deserves it for the past 6 months all we can hear is the side of Sheridan Paramount plus and lots of rumors and Whispers but now finally we can have the side of John Dutton himself Kevin Cosner confession of Cosner cner made an appearance in court on September 1st and it was for his divorce proceedings with his now ex-wife Christine bomgardner but amidst all that he dropped a bombshell about his status in Yellowstone People magazine spilled the beans that Kevin made the tough decision to say goodbye to the show when he found out that season five would be sliced into two juicy halves this change threw a wrench in his plans because again he's also writing the upcoming four-part film Horizon and he revealed a little more te that there were no scripts for season 5 part two during the filming of part one cner stated I couldn't help them anymore we tried to negotiate but they offered me less money than in previous Seasons there were issues with the creative we came up with a number and they walked away I've been told it's a little disappointing that it's the number one show on TV and I'm not participating but he didn't leave out the scheduling chaos adding somewhere along the line they wanted to change things they wanted to do 5A and 5B it affected Horizon I was going to do my movie Horizon and leave that show do my movie then do be a show I was only doing once a year I was now doing twice two months ago before Cosner's confession Taylor jaran set the record straight in June expressing his thoughts to The Hollywood Reporter my opinion of Kevin as an actor hasn't altered he mentioned his creation of John Dutton is symbolic and powerful and I've never had an issue with Kevin that he and I couldn't work out on the phone but once lawyers get involved then people don't get to talk to each other and start saying things that aren't true and attempt to shift blame based on how the press or public seem to be reacting and he wrapped up with a heartfelt sentiment I'm disappointed it trates the closure of his character it doesn't alter it but it trun Kates it the number one reason why cner wants to leave an Insider shared some details with Us magazine in May 2023 revealing that the show's unpredictable schedule wasn't sitting well with Christine bomgardner Cosner's wife because it meant Cosner was missing out on precious family time The Insider spilled Christine wasn't happy with the Yellowstone scheduled delays because it caused him to miss so much time with his family and believe it or not this very series was pointed out as one of the reasons for their separation furthermore the same Source gave us a deeper look The Insider shared Coster was on the fence about doing the show from the beginning Kevin had to be convinced to do the project there were months of discussions with Kevin and his family before he did it he didn't want to do the show without their input but despite the challenges Kevin was committed to making it work the source revealed that Kevin and his team even considered relocating the show to California to ease the strain but wasn't meant to be fast forward to June 2023 and Christine bomgardner said she did not pressure Kevin to leave the Yellowstone show and as the summer heated up in August her legal team threw another curveball suggesting that maybe Kevin wasn't entirely transparent about his decisions related to the show they questioned if he could continue a season six or if he made the call to step away they made it clear that regardless of his choice he should still get a share of the show's profits Kevin Cosner's child support down to $63,000 from $248,000 bomgardner requested $248,000 monthly for child support in her words she believes the sum is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle she also wishes for Coster to put the bills for the children's private schooling Healthcare and all those extracurriculars but she doesn't ask for spousal support on the other hand in June 2023 Us magazine uncovered more court documents and bom Gartner painted a picture of Cosner's Financial scene she claims that he RS in a cool $1,537 th000 monthly from his acting and directing gigs while acknowledging that cner has been covering expenses she points out he hasn't made her financial Journey smooth she says thus far Kevin has not been willing to commit to paying an appropriate amount of Child Support she's willing to move out but needs a Little Help from Kevin cner not staying silent denied this and simply stated in June 2023 documents I am only requ requesting that Christine vacate my separate property home and find alternate living arrangements later that month Costner plays another card saying that his departure in Yellowstone means that it has a huge impact on his income and he believes the $248,000 monthly child support is a tall order then Fox News delivered an update that bomgardner would now get $129,700 monthly from Cosner but you won't believe what happens next because from $129,700 the judge makes it $63,000 some legendary celebrity lawyer says it's not right to say that $129,000 is not enough for child support that's a yearly income for most of us and n s didn't hold their thoughts about this and said I can see why his ex-wife requested more support money I get it his ex-wife asked for six figures a month for their kids really get a job lady and for Kevin Cosner's exit in Yellowstone one fan said no Kevin Cosner no Yellowstone for me I won't watch another episode well yeah bad news and and even if we don't want to be the bearer of bad news you won't believe the storms that are looming for season 2 of 1923 and if you want to know more about this you should watch this video right here
