Austin, Texas, March 10, 2025 — A public clash erupted between Another Simple Favor director Paul Feig and YouTuber Melanie King over rumors of tension between Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick at the film’s premiere during the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film & TV Festival. The controversy, sparked by King’s viral claims, has thrust the stars and their director into the spotlight, igniting debate over celebrity dynamics and media reporting.

On March 7, 2025, Another Simple Favor, the sequel to the 2018 comedy mystery, premiered at SXSW, featuring Lively and Kendrick reprising their roles as Emily and Stephanie. However, YouTuber Melanie King, in a video posted to X on March 10 (ID: 1899189601899552872), alleged significant backstage drama. King claimed, “I just reported on Blake being terrified to walk the carpet as Anna is pissed and never wants to work with her again,” referencing the actresses’ interactions before the red carpet. The post, accompanied by an image of King speaking into a microphone, suggested a rift between Lively and Kendrick, fueling speculation among fans and media.

Paul Feig, the film’s director, swiftly responded on X, rejecting King’s claims with a blunt, “You’re wrong.” His defense came after King’s report gained traction, drawing attention to rumored tensions exacerbated by Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni and billing disputes with Kendrick, as reported elsewhere. Feig’s rebuttal, supported by web reports from TheWrap and Soap Central, emphasized that there was no bad blood between the actresses, citing their chemistry as a reason for making the sequel.

The feud has divided opinions online, with some supporting King’s investigative angle and others backing Feig’s assertion of harmony on set. Lively and Kendrick appeared together at the premiere, laughing and engaging with fans, contradicting King’s narrative. However, the incident underscores the pressure on celebrities during high-profile events and the role of social media in amplifying unverified rumors. As Another Simple Favor gears up for its release, this clash between Feig and King highlights the challenges of managing public perception in Hollywood’s glare.
