Blake Lively joins 'Another Simple Favor' cast amid Justin Baldoni battle

Blake Lively made a mesmerising appearance at the world premiere of her new movie Another Simple Favor amid Justin Baldoni's legal battle.

During the star-studded event, Blake reunited with Another Simple Favor's co-star Ana Kendrick and director Paul Feig after their collaboration on the 2018 film A Simple Favor.

The new film was released in theaters on March 7, 2025, and will begin streaming on Prime Video on May 1, 2025.

In the film, Blake portrays Emily Nelson, who, after being released from prison, invites her frenemy Stephanie [played by Anna] to be her maid of honor at a lavish wedding in Capri, Italy.

This appearance of Blake during her ongoing messy legal feud with her It Ends with Us actor, whom she sued in December 2024, over the charges of sexual harassment, which he firmly denied.

Afterward, Justin filed a counter-lawsuit against the mother-of-three and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, alleging defamation.

The Clouds actor has also demanded $300 million from Blake and her husband as compensation for his tarnished reputation.
