Kevin Costner<\/strong> says he didn’t return to his hit show “Yellowstone” more so because of scheduling issues and money rather than any rumored beef with creator Taylor Sheridan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The actor testified during Friday’s divorce hearing in Santa Barbara and got into his ugly “Yellowstone” exit, saying he left a ton of money on the table.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kevin was being grilled on the stand by lawyers for his estranged wife Christine Baumgartner<\/strong> … they kept asking about his finances and how much money he made for “Yellowstone.”<\/p>\n Kevin’s testimony included juicy nuggets on his falling out with the show … saying negotiations for a potential sixth season broke down over scheduling issues, creative differences, and money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The way Kevin explains things, there were issues with the creative process and he “tried to break the log jam” but Paramount “walked away,” after he asked for $12M to film the season.<\/p>\n Kevin says he had scheduling conflicts with his new movie “Horizon” because “Yellowstone” wanted to shoot a two-part season in the same year which would require him to shoot the first half, go do his movie, then return for the second half.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He claims he moved things around with his film to accommodate the show but “Yellowstone” wasn’t ready to shoot the second half on time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kevin’s testimony is super enlightening … at the time, there were rumors his exit was mired in an alleged beef with Sheridan, the show’s creator, and they were rumored to hate each other.<\/p>\n And, get this … Kevin said he “will probably go to court” over his “Yellowstone” ending.<\/p>\n The court hearing is breaking for recess as Kevin and Christine fight out over how much child support<\/strong> he must pay her.<\/p>\n
