In a recent interview, Thornton vehemently denied these claims, labeling them as 'AI-generated crap'.

The actor, who portrays the character Tommy Norris in the show, was ousted from his position at M-Tex Oil in the season 2 finale. However, Thornton has assured fans that this does not mean the end of his journey with the series. When asked about the rumors of his departure, he stated, 'There’s an AI report that Demi [Moore] and I are a couple now, and there’s one that I’m leaving the show. They have nothing to do with reality.'

Despite the speculation, Thornton confirmed his presence in the upcoming season 3, expressing his enthusiasm for the show's future. He said, 'I’ll be there. It’s been great working with Sam Elliott, and I love doing the show. I’ll be here as long as it plays out.'
