Yellowstone fans are mobilizing to defend Beth Dutton, described as “evil” , after a request was made on social networks for the character in the second part of season 5.
Since its debut on small screens in 2018, the Yellowstone series has been prolific in seasons and spin-offs. Taylor Sheridan’s neo-western story even managed to beat its own record with the first broadcast of season 5, attracting 12.1 million simultaneous viewers.
But that all dates back to November 2022. Since then, the program has faced numerous obstacles, from rumors of tensions behind the scenes between Taylor Sheridan and star actor Kevin Costner, to delays due to strikes in Hollywood. In the end, the announcement was made: Yellowstone will not go further than season 5. So only one part remains before the end of the series.
Fortunately for fans, the Yellowstone universe will continue through its various spin-offs. But despite its popularity, there are still dissatisfied people. Especially about a character in particular, who seems to divide opinion: when a spectator spoke about Beth Dutton, played by Kelly Reilly, it was a wave of support for the protagonist that he took in return.
Yellowstone fans defend Beth Dutton after ‘malicious’ comments
It was on Reddit that a fan started the hostilities about Beth: “Please, God, the writers give Beth what she deserves or worse before the end of the series. She is so evil, destructive, filled with nothing but hatred.”
Viewers now know well that Beth – the only daughter of patriarch John Dutton – is a complex, extremely intelligent character who does not hesitate to manipulate to achieve her goals. And the first part of season 5 saw his relationship with Jamie deteriorate to the point of no return.
Yet despite her questionable actions, Yellowstone fans immediately responded to be protective of Beth Dutton, with many responding on the Reddit thread to say that her past trauma helped make her who she is today. today.
“Really, I love the character,” replied one Internet user. “It’s such a change to see a daddy’s girl angry and mean. She has these soft sides but super buried under all this trauma. It’s a very complex character and the actress is fabulous.”
Another pointed out: “Even after she was blown away by an explosion, beaten bloody, and even though she still carries the trauma from her childhood, you still want her to get what she deserves? She’s definitely twisted, but I love her because she doesn’t let anyone bother her and she’s a badass.”
A third user added on the same Reddit thread: “His soft side comes down to loving his dad and Rip. She is “hateful” and “mean” to protect what she loves. Her fear of losing them is immense and she will do everything possible to protect them after what happened to her mother. Beth’s character is perfect just the way she is. Fierce, proud, loving to those who matter, and undeniably loyal.”
“I mean, can we blame him? She saw her mother die right after she accused her, telling her it was all her fault,” a fourth fan felt it necessary to call out, to which a fifth responded: “I didn’t like her at first but I really ended up liking it. She’s so resilient.”
As for knowing who will “win” between Jamie and Beth, you will have to be patient: because the second part of season 5 of Yellowstone will not be released before November 2024.
