Blake Lively Attends SXSW Premiere of Another Simple Favor Amid Legal Battles

Blake Lively is confirmed to attend the premiere of 'Another Simple Favor' at the SXSW Film Festival on March 7, 2025, despite ongoing legal issues with her ‘It Ends with Us’ co-star Justin Baldoni. The film, directed by Paul Feig, features Lively alongside Anna Kendrick and Henry Golding, and is set to be released on Amazon Prime on May 1, 2025. Lively is currently embroiled in a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign, while Baldoni has counter-sued for defamation. Paul Feig has publicly supported Lively, praising her collaboration and creativity, and confirmed that most of the cast will also attend the premiere. This legal drama adds a layer of intrigue to the film's reception as it prepares for its debut. Additional screenings are planned for New York City and Los Angeles as the release date approaches.
