The internet is doing what it does best—fueling rumors—but Anna Kendrick isn’t having it. As the legal battle between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni gets messier, some fans have started speculating about tension between Kendrick and Lively, especially with A Simple Favor 2 on the way.
What’s Actually Happening?
Blake Lively is caught in a lawsuit with Justin Baldoni, with accusations flying both ways. She claims he sexually harassed her on set, while Baldoni has countersued for defamation and civil extortion. Naturally, the internet is now dragging everything else she’s involved in—including A Simple Favor 2—into the chaos.
Director Paul Feig has already spoken out, dismissing rumors that the sequel is in jeopardy, and now sources close to Kendrick are weighing in too.
Anna Kendrick’s Take on the Drama
According to People, Kendrick isn’t thrilled about how the negativity surrounding Lively is affecting the movie. “She’s not used to being caught up in any drama,” an insider shared, adding that the backlash against Lively has led some fans to say they won’t support the film. And yes, that’s bugging Kendrick.
But in case you were wondering—no, there’s no beef between the two stars. The source made it clear: “There really is no drama or rift. There is no feud.” In fact, Kendrick and Lively are still set to do press together, proving that the film is moving full steam ahead.
Hollywood feuds are nothing new, but this one isn’t even real. Fans are quick to pick sides, and social media is already running with the idea that Kendrick and Lively aren’t on good terms. But according to those in the know, the internet is just making a mess out of nothing.
For now, both actresses are focusing on the work. A Simple Favor 2 is set to hit Prime Video on May 1, and despite all the noise, Lively and Kendrick will be doing press together—so expect plenty of red carpet moments that prove they’re just fine.
If you were worried about A Simple Favor 2 getting shelved, don’t be. The movie is moving forward, and Lively and Kendrick are still very much a team. As for the legal battle? That’s a whole other story.
Stay tuned—this saga isn’t over yet.
