Paul Feig shut down rumors that Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively are uncomfortable promoting “Another Simple Favor” together after a YouTuber shared a photo of the pair at SXSW.
In a post on X, Melanie King wrote that Lively was “terrified to walk the carpet” and Kendrick “never wants to work with [Lively] again.”
“Um… you’re wrong,” Feig replied.
It’s unclear why King sparked the rumor in the first place, though Lively’s bitter public feud with “It Ends With Us” might have given her some ideas. Kenrick and Lively are both at the film festival to promote “Another Simple Favor” after previously collaborating with Feig on “A Simple Favor.”
