Blake Lively & Anna Kendrick’s Rumored Feud Gets Shut Down Harder Than My Gym Ambitions – By the Director Himself

Buy Me A Coffee

Hollywood’s imaginary besties-turned-enemies—Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick—are once again at the center of some internet-fueled feud fantasy. But this time, director Paul Feig is stepping in like a rom-com dad who’s had enough of the drama at Thanksgiving dinner.

So here’s the tea (or lukewarm chamomile, depending on how spicy you like your celebrity beef): rumors have been swirling around since the 2018 release of A Simple Favor, suggesting that Blake and Anna were not exactly braiding each other’s hair off-camera. Now with the 2025 sequel Another Simple Favor dropping like it’s hot (or at least mildly reheated), the rumor mill has gone full popcorn machine again.

Enter: a YouTuber named Melanie King, who decided to throw gasoline on the drama fire by posting a throwback pic of the cast from their first premiere, dramatically captioned with something along the lines of, “Blake is terrified to walk the red carpet. Anna is angrier than a cat in a bathtub. The vibes? BAD.”

Now here’s where it gets juicy: director Paul Feig—who probably just wanted to enjoy his latte in peace—saw the tweet and hit back with the online equivalent of a dad sighing mid-eye roll. His response?

“Um … you’re wrong.”

That’s it. That’s the tweet. Iconic. Shorter than a Hollywood marriage. More cutting than a middle school insult. Paul Feig, shutting down drama with less than a full sentence. Honestly, Shakespeare could never.

And in case you’re wondering, Another Simple Favor is officially out today on Prime Video! Which means you can now watch Blake and Anna give award-worthy performances while not secretly plotting each other’s downfall, thank you very much.

So, unless there’s a deleted scene where they throw martinis at each other, we can all collectively calm down and enjoy the film without inventing a season of Real Housewives of the Red Carpet.

Whew. Hollywood drama? Denied. Prime Video subscription? Activated. Drama queens? Silenced (for now).
