'Ugly attitude': Internet slams Demi Moore after she joins Taylor Sheridan's 'Landman' amid alleged rift with pal Kevin Costner

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Demi Moore is set to headline in 'Landman', the latest television project from Taylor Sheridan, the creative force behind 'Yellowstone'.

However, reports suggest that Moore's decision to work with Sheridan has strained her relationship with longtime friend Kevin Costner, as he allegedly harbors animosity toward Sheridan.

Demi Moore takes center stage in 'Landman'

Moore, 61, will star alongside Billy Bob Thornton, 68, in the upcoming Paramount+ drama. However, sources claim that Costner, 69, who is known for his role in 'Yellowstone', is displeased with Moore's collaboration with Sheridan, 53, whom he reportedly dislikes.

Costner's career saw a resurgence with Sheridan's 'Yellowstone', but sources allege that tensions between him and Sheridan have been simmering for some time. Allegedly, the two clashed over creative decisions, with Costner expressing discontent as early as Season 2 over his character's storyline.

Last year, Costner left 'Yellowstone' midway through filming its fifth season, citing a pay cut requirement for the sixth season as the reason for his departure.

Costner warned Moore against working with Sheridan, a source confided. The actor and Moore both auditioned for 1982's 'Flashdance', but neither made the cut.

"He told Demi that Taylor will court you but once he has you under his control, it's game over," a tipster dished to the National Enquirer. "You're just another actor who can be replaced."

"Demi respects Kevin's opinion," another insider noted. "But she doesn't get big film offers any longer. Demi figures if she's going to to be doing TV, she might as well be working with the hottest producer around!"

Sheridan tried to convince Costner to return to 'Yellowstone' to complete filming for the final season, but he refused.

"Kevin would very much like to resume shooting to give his character, John Dutton, a proper send-off — not to mention complete the story he’s worked so hard on for so many years," a source dished.

"But there’s just too much bad blood that exists now between Taylor and Kevin with all of the sniping that’s gone on. It’s a relationship Kevin feels is beyond repair — no matter what Taylor says now."

Sheridan reportedly tried to mend tensions with Costner — and even went as far as acknowledging the show's star took the bulk of the backlash "on the chin."

"Taylor is doing everything he can to make this right. He’s poured too much of himself into the show and its scripts to see it finished in any way but according to his vision. It’s just a shame Kevin has been so adamant about not returning because it’s the fans that lose in the end," sources said.

Internet reacts to Demi Moore's role in 'Landman'

Demi Moore's decision to join Taylor Sheridan's 'Landman' has stirred up controversy online, with Internet users expressing mixed opinions about her alleged rift with Kevin Costner.

One user criticized Moore's move, stating, "Ugly attitude from her! Everybody knows that Taylor Sheridan wants to be at the movies and not the master of the script! About the ego of Kevin Costner, this is just one way to be in the newspaper! Kevin Costner is a great actor and a gentleman! He has a big story in his work! Taylor Sheridan is small but with an immense ego! Go ahead Kevin Costner!"

Another echoed similar sentiments, saying, "Ugly from her! If she thought he was wrong, she should have stayed quiet and talked to him! Everybody knows that Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner don’t talk anymore! This man used to talk about the problems dealing with Kevin Costner, but it's Taylor Sheridan who wants to be a star, not just the guy behind the script! Taylor Sheridan is small and can’t accept that Kevin Costner is a big star with a long and great history in movies!"

Someone else wrote, "She needs the job and for it she do it one ugly way."
