Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick have returned to star in the sequel to the critically hit 2018 comedy-thriller A Simple Favor, but is all smooth sailing?

With Lively’s career and life moving at a torrid pace due to her ongoing legal tribulations with Justin Baldoni, director and co-star of It Ends With Us, the speculations of other feuds are gaining traction. Kendrick and Lively may have been through their tensions. Kendrick may even have asked her poster designer to do her “a simple favor,” or so the rumor suggests.

During the many press interviews for A Simple Favor, Kendrick and Lively consistently engaged in banter, seemingly insulting each other’s personalities. However, the spicy ingredients to their feud were served years later in 2021, when comedians Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton spilled alleged reasons.

Hosts of Celebrity Memoir Book Club, the pair claimed to have learned from an insider on A Simple Favor that the Pitch Perfect actress and her Gossip Girl counterpart were “not speaking” after the movie’s release. Their source emphasized that the two “hated each other.” It should be noted that both A Simple Favor director Paul Feig and actor Henry Golding have denied such gossip.
