Blake Lively Attends 'Another Simple Favor' Premiere Amid Ongoing Legal Dispute with Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively made a triumphant appearance at the SXSW premiere of her film 'Another Simple Favor,' her first public event since filing dueling lawsuits with co-star Justin Baldoni. The actress, who appeared in high spirits and received a warm reception, attended the event amid ongoing legal battles where she accuses Baldoni of creating a toxic work environment and making inappropriate comments during the filming of 'It Ends With Us.' Baldoni has denied these allegations and countersued Lively for defamation, claiming she orchestrated a smear campaign against him. Outside the venue, a protester demonstrated support for Baldoni, while co-star Anna Kendrick dodged questions about the legal feud. Despite the controversy, Lively focused on her film, with director Paul Feig expressing his admiration for her during the event. The legal proceedings are set to unfold amid heightened media scrutiny, with both parties preparing for a complex court battle.
