Ali Larter defends Taylor Sheridan’s writing of female characters, calling criticism a ‘false narrative’

Ali Larter isn't interested in hearing people bash Taylor Sheridan's writing.

Sheridan has become the most powerful creative visionary in all of entertainment, and there's not a close second.

He built the "Yellowstone" universe, "Landman," "Lioness," "Mayor of Kingstown" and plenty of other good works.

However, one idiotic criticism that Sheridan has faced over the years is that he can't write female characters. I've always found it a bit of an outrageous claim, and one of his biggest stars is now coming to his defense.

Ali Larter, who is a major "Landman" star, recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and was asked point-blank about the notion that Sheridan can't write female characters.

The talented actress didn't hold back with her response.

"It’s just a false narrative… I also feel like what he does is, you just don’t see a lot of women in film and television that embrace their sexuality. It just stops at a certain age. I’m always amazed at how shocked people are by it [on Landman], and I’m thrilled, because it’s ridiculous," Larter told the outlet.

Like I said above, the criticism that Sheridan can't write female characters makes absolutely no sense to me. One of his best shows is "Lioness" and it's dominated by female characters.

My theory is the criticism stems from Emily Blunt's character in "Sicario." However, what people making that claim miss is that her character in "Sicario" is supposed to be ignorant to what's happening by design.

That's why she was chosen to be a part of the secret anti-cartel unit. They needed an FBI agent who wouldn't know enough to ask questions or interfere with the real plan. It wasn't poor writing. It was actually genius writing that flew over some people's heads.

Sheridan's new deal with NBCUniversal is reportedly worth more than $1 billion. He didn't get the deal by being bad at his job. The "Yellowstone" creator got it by being the best in the game. Agree? Disagree? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
