The co-stars were at the forefront of feud rumors when Season 3 aired in February after they notably unfollowed each other on Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n

In June, they put feud rumors to rest,<\/a> with Goggins telling Variety that there was no bad blood and emotionally explaining that he \u201cneeded\u201d to unfollow Wood so he could \u201cbegin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wood added, \u201cI think it\u2019s such a comment on where we\u2019re at culturally. Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant.
