Paul Feig Debunks Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick Feud Rumor
Feig has shot down the online speculations that his Another Simple Favor stars Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick have a feud.
This comes as YouTuber Melanie King alleged in her post on X that Lively was "terrified to walk the carpet" while Kendrick "never wants to work with [Lively] again."
The director responded to the rumor by quoting King's post and wrote, "Um… you’re wrong."
The speculation started when Lively and Kendrick offered different responses when asked about reuniting in the sequel during the red carpet with Lively calling her co-star "the best" while Kendrick gave an ambiguous answer, "Oh, you know."
However, later in the Q&A segment after the screening, Lively and Kendrick appeared to be laughing alongside each other and gave enthusiastic insights about their experience making the film.
People also reported that they heard from sources that there "really is no drama or rift" between Lively and Kendrick.
