With Another Simple Favor set to hit theaters, behind-the-scenes drama is threatening to overshadow the film’s release.
According to insiders, Anna Kendrick is reportedly furious over Blake Lively’s silence regarding her ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, which has sparked major controversy.
The lawsuit, which includes allegations of sexual harassment and a $400 million defamation countersuit, has cast a dark cloud over Lively’s career.
Now, Kendrick allegedly believes the backlash is hurting their film’s promotional efforts, with some fans even boycotting the movie.
Adding fuel to the fire, reports suggest the two actresses have also clashed over top billing for the sequel, leading to further tension.
A resurfaced interview between Kendrick and Lively has only intensified speculation, with fans analyzing an awkward exchange about Disney princess roles.
While some chalk it up to Kendrick’s signature humor, others believe it hints at a deeper rift.
With tensions rising and public scrutiny mounting, will the drama impact the film’s success?
