Rumors of a falling-out between Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are circulating online, but Another Simple Favor director Paul Feig says there’s no truth to the drama. The speculation erupted following their joint appearance at South by Southwest (SXSW), where the sequel to their 2018 film A Simple Favor premiered.
A social media post featuring a group photo of the actresses claimed Kendrick was “pissed” at Lively and didn’t want to work with her again. That’s when Feig stepped in, stating that the claims were completely false and that there’s no behind-the-scenes tension.
However, a video clip making rounds online added fuel to the fire. It shows Kendrick giving a rather blunt response to a question about working with Lively again, while Lively offers a glowing review of her co-star — prompting fans to speculate that something’s off despite Feig’s denial.
Lively and Kendrick first starred together in A Simple Favor, a stylish thriller that gained cult popularity. The sequel, Another Simple Favor, continues their story and has been one of the most talked-about premieres at SXSW.
While Paul Feig’s comments were meant to clear the air, the internet remains unconvinced. As of now, both actresses have stayed quiet on the rumors, leaving fans to continue dissecting every moment.
