Another Simple Favour director Paul Feig has addressed the swirling rumors of tension between Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.
The director set the record straight on the Gossip Girl starlet and the Pitch Perfect actress dynamic amid ongoing feud speculation.
Following, YouTuber Melanie King posted a photo on X of the two actresses claiming that Lively, 37, was "terrified to walk the carpet" and Kendrick, 39, "never wants to work with [Lively] again,"
A day later Feig shut down her claims, noting, "Um … you’re wrong.”
The Spy director attended an Another Simple Favor Q&A with Lively, Kendrick and other members of the cast at the Paramount Theatre during the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival.
