The Beth Scene That Went Too Far On Yellowstone

"Yellowstone" has spent four seasons unspooling many threads of Dutton family drama, but are the current plotlines going too far? Some viewers say yes — and here's why.

Beth Dutton, played by Kelly Reilly, has been a fan-favorite character throughout the run of the show, but she's also one of the series' most volatile. Fiercely loyal and emotionally fierce, she's often been the character most capable of tearing other people down.

Up until now, Beth's aggressive side has mostly been deployed for good reasons, but in episode 6 of season 4, she pulled out a knife, and just may have jumped the shark. Here's everything you need to know about what some fans are calling the Beth scene that went too far on "Yellowstone."

I don't think Beth could EVER go too far....

I trust the writers over this dudes opinion. Beth is a fantastic character.

Here is why beths character did not go too far or even break from the norm.. if you recall in a previous season beth went out of her way to be alone with the governor just so she could threaten her about sleeping in her mothers bed. Beth doesn't srem to hate the governor in the least and doesnt care if her dads screwing her.she just doesnt want it in her mothers home.

Beth is hands down one of the strongest characters on the show Yellowstone, due in no small part to Kelly Reilly's talent as well as the writers. She is to Yellowstone what the character Mike was to Breaking Bad. In this era of cancel culture, I refuse to take this Youtube hack seriously.

I think the "fans" implying there some dark hidden family secret is more gross than her holding a knife. But to each his own.

Gee wow - a woman who was literally blown up might not be super balanced? It's called a trauma response. Let the show and the season play out.

I didn't think Beth was jealous. You have to realize that the ranch was attacked . So this woman is in her kitchen she did ask her "who are you" Instead of Summer telling her "I'm a guest" she immediately gets bit@#y and says "Who the h#ll are you" Sumner acting like SHE knows the place and giving Beth serious attitude is what drove Beth to have this reaction. What I thought was cringy was when Summer tried to make Beth jealous by kisses John in a weird way and acting like a child. So ....The scene with summer didn't make any sense..John wouldn't have felt sorry for her. He doesn't trust people so quickly especially after being attacked so. It was a sad attempt to make these characters have a connection which just felt forced and ridiculous.

Her character is unlike anyone else on TV at this time. Very strong and refreshing.

I love everything about Beth… including the knife scene and think it was totally fitting! Wouldn’t change a thing. It’s the mix of humor and darkness and violence that makes the show unique.

[scottashby]

Wow, whoever wrote this really wants us all to hate the Beth character as much as he/she does. Sorry pajama boy, not happening.

[mikedad]

That's a strong independent woman who takes care of her family and not stay at home and wait for a check, but wants to call the shoots. Love this woman

[fadethechannel]

People are weird LOL the REASON she acted in the manner she did was to test the girl’s mettle as being involved with John. That’s how I saw it.

[Arpege]

I wouldn't change any Beth scene....Kelly Reilly is rocking this role!

[fadethechannel]

Don’t EVER say Yellowstone has gone too far. EVER.

[frederickhettesheimer]

Beth is showing she's the only one prepared and capable to take over the Ranch

[yeldog]

It's a show. You know... entertainment. She is the best character on the show.

[janac]

Loved this scene. Too many are just overthinking it instead of enjoying it!!!! Go Beth!!!!

[kfunkhouser]

Are you kidding me with this?!? She’s the best character ever.
