'Yellowstone' stars battle it out: Taylor Sheridan suing Cole Hauser
A legal battle is brewing, over some coffee.
A legal battle is brewing, over some coffee.
Taylor Sheridan, the creator and showrunner of the hit Paramount show "Yellowstone," is suing one of the show's stars, Cole Hauser, over the logo for his coffee company, Free Rein.
The suit, filed last month by Bosque Ranch, the equine facility where the show is filmed, which is owned by Sheridan, accuses Hauser's Free Rein of "trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising."
Hauser, who plays Rip Wheeler on the Western series, has a logo for his newly launched coffee company which depicts an F and an R intertwined. Sheridan's Bosque Ranch, the filming location for both "Yellowstone" and "1883," has a logo with the letters B and R, also intertwined.
Both the ranch and the coffee company are based in Texas.
