Blake Lively’s upcoming A Simple Favor 2 hasn’t been canceled amid her ongoing legal battle, according to the film’s director.

Paul Feig responded to online rumors on Friday, January 10, that film studio Amazon decided to shelve the project indefinitely as a result of Lively’s lawsuit against her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni.

“This is total BS. Sorry. The movie is finished and coming out soon,” Feig, 62, wrote via X. “Don’t believe anything you read on social media these days.”

In a follow-up post, Feig praised Lively and costar Anna Kendrick for their work on the project.

Blake Lively is receiving more support amid her sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni. “I’ve now made two movies with Blake and all I can say is she’s one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I’ve ever worked with,” A Simple Favor director, Paul […]

“The movie is awesome, and Blake and Anna turn in amazing performances,” he gushed. “I can’t wait for you all to see it. Stay tuned for more details. Simple Favor 2 is coming soon!”

Feig directed Lively, 37, and Kendrick, 39, in 2018’s A Simple Favor about a single mommy vlogger named Stephanie who investigates the mysterious disappearance of her friend Emily. Kendrick portrays Stephanie opposite Lively’s Emily.

Nearly six years later in 2024, Lively and Kendrick reunited to film the upcoming sequel. That same year, Lively also worked with Baldoni, 40, on the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us. (Baldoni also served as the film’s director, while Lively was an executive producer.)

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are set to return for more backstabbing fun in a sequel to 2018’s A Simple Favor. The dark-comedy thriller was based on the book of the same name by Darcey Bell and followed mommy blogger Stephanie (Kendrick) as she befriends a wealthy mom named Emily (Lively). After Emily mysteriously disappears, […]

Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024 for alleged sexual harassment, claiming the Jane the Virgin alum fostered a “hostile work environment” on the set of the summer blockbuster. She also claimed that Baldoni attempted to launch an alleged “social manipulation” campaign to destroy her career and reputation. Baldoni has vehemently denied the accusations and subsequently filed a $250 million lawsuit against the New York Times for their report outlining Lively’s claims.

“In this vicious smear campaign fully orchestrated by Blake Lively and her team, the New York Times cowered to the wants and whims of two powerful ‘untouchable’ Hollywood elites, disregarding journalistic practices and ethics once befitting of the revered publication by using doctored and manipulated texts and intentionally omitting texts which dispute their chosen PR narrative,” Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman said in a statement last month. “In doing so, they pre-determined the outcome of their story and aided and abetted their own devastating PR smear campaign designed to revitalize Lively’s self-induced floundering public image and counter the organic groundswell of criticism amongst the online public. The irony is rich.”

Lively, meanwhile, denied the accusations in a statement of her own.

“This lawsuit is based on the obviously false premise that Ms. Lively’s administrative complaint against Wayfarer and others was a ruse based on a choice not to file a lawsuit against Baldoni, Wayfarer, and that litigation was never her ultimate goal,” the actress told Us Weekly in a statement.
