Season 5, Episode 13 of Yellowstone faced backlash as supermodel Bella Hadid made a surprise appearance. Fans expressed frustration over her role as Sadie, the girlfriend of Travis, played by Taylor Sheridan. Many called the episode “unnecessary” and the “worst in Yellowstone history.”

Critics claimed the cameo distracted from the story, with one saying, “This part was very unnecessary.” Another remarked, “Bella Hadid on Yellowstone is crazy work.”

This penultimate episode drew comparisons to earlier episodes, like the tragic loss of fan-favorite Colby in Episode 12, which had a stronger emotional impact. With Kevin Costner’s exit still a sore point for fans, many felt the series has lost its direction.

As the finale approaches, viewers hope for a satisfying conclusion to a divisive season.
