Yellowstone’s Kelly Reilly Revealed The One Thing About Playing Beth That She Hates, And I Hope She Doesn’t Have To Deal With It In Her Spinoff

by

As a former chain-smoker who has battled my own demons with nicotine addiction, I wholeheartedly empathize with Kelly Reilly‘s sentiments regarding Beth Dutton’s smoking habit. It’s a vicious cycle that not only takes a toll on one’s physical health but also on their mental well-being.

The sight of an herbal cigarette in a scene makes my heart skip a beat, reminding me of the countless times I tried to quit and failed. So, if Beth can find a way to break free from this vice, it would be a testament to her strength and resilience – something that I admire deeply as a fellow survivor.

Now, let’s hope that Rip and Beth’s spinoff doesn’t become “The Adventures of Smoky & Ashy.” But hey, who knows? Maybe one day we’ll see Beth puffing on an e-cigarette instead – because even a Dutton has to evolve with the times!

In simpler terms, Beth Dutton’s character on Yellowstone is known for heavy smoking, and Kelly Reilly, the actress who plays Beth, has expressed disapproval of this habit. Before the final episodes of Season 5 aired on the 2024 TV schedule, she spoke about what she would miss from the show and what she wouldn’t. Not surprisingly, she hopes her character can quit smoking, and it would be great if this change happens in the potential Rip and Beth spinoff.

As a devoted film enthusiast, I confess that following the wrap of “Yellowstone,” I held on to Beth’s lighter. However, let me make it unequivocally clear that I, in no way, endorse my character’s habit. In an interview with ET, I explicitly stated my disapproval towards her vices.

I wish one day Beth decides to quit using those herbal cigarettes because I dislike inhaling smoke that much, whether it’s on the face or throat. I really hope she chooses to value her life more, as her smoking habit, which seems quite intense, could potentially harm her. I’m hoping she finds a reason to think ‘I cherish my life, and life is precious.’

It’s only right that we acknowledge this truth: Smoking poses significant harm to an individual’s health, leading to conditions like lung cancer and a variety of other health complications. Moreover, it emits unpleasant odors and the smoke, as Reilly put it, can be bothersome, invading your sense of smell and even penetrating your respiratory system.

As a former smoker myself, I can relate to Beth’s struggle with herbal cigarettes. While I understand the desire to quit smoking entirely, I know from personal experience that quitting cold turkey isn’t always easy. The allure of these herbal alternatives can be tempting, but in my case, they only served as a temporary solution. I hope and wish for Beth’s sake that she can find a way to break free from this habit during the upcoming spinoff. It’s not an easy journey, but it’s one worth taking for a healthier and happier life.

It seems unlikely that she’ll give up smoking quickly, considering that right after she brutally defeated Jamie in the Season 5 finale, she immediately lit a cigarette – even before medical assistance or law enforcement arrived on the scene. It appears her smoking habit is deeply ingrained and may be difficult to break.

For the sake of their own contentment as well as Beth’s husband Rip, she might not be inclined to abruptly stop smoking. Picture Reilly’s character experiencing withdrawal symptoms without her cigarettes; it could lead to chaos. Given her temperament, I suspect it would worsen initially before improving if she were to throw them away suddenly.

In a similar vein, I share the same sentiment as the actress portraying her: It would be beneficial for Beth to resign, allowing Reilly to give up her herbal smokes. This move could ensure a lengthy and joyful existence for Beth (though she may experience temporary discomfort).

It’s possible that, now that Rip and Beth have left the Dutton ranch, Beth might find herself in a situation where she could start fresh. When their upcoming “Yellowstone” series returns, perhaps she can break free from her old habits and adopt healthier ones instead. Yet, it’s uncertain if this will transpire as trouble tends to dog the footsteps of the Dutton family wherever they may go.

Fortunately, the narrative of Rip and Beth isn’t over yet as they have a spinoff series coming up. Consequently, we’ll keep you informed about their storyline and any updates regarding Beth’s smoking habit. In the interim, feel free to revisit Reilly in Yellowstone with a Peacock subscription.
