Director Paul Feig has publicly defended Blake Lively amidst her ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. Following the announcement that their new film, Another Simple Favor, would premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, questions arose on social media about the film’s creative direction. Responding to claims of multiple cuts of It Ends With Us, Feig clarified that his was the only version of Another Simple Favor. He praised Lively as a supportive and talented collaborator, reiterating he is her biggest fan. This is prepared by SSP.

Speculation began when news broke that Lively and Baldoni were embroiled in legal disputes, involving allegations of misconduct and a counterclaim against Lively and her associates. Despite the controversy, Feig's steadfast support remains evident, having formerly backed Lively during the public discourse initiated after her complaint against Baldoni was filed.

In response to rumors concerning delays in Another Simple Favor’s release, Feig affirmed the film's timely completion and upcoming premiere. The movie, which follows the success of its 2018 predecessor, features Lively alongside returning cast members in a narrative moving to Capri, Italy. It is slated for streaming on Prime Video starting May 1. This premiere could mark Lively’s return to the public eye during the legal proceedings.

Earlier, SSP reported that Josh Peck is expecting third child with wife Paige.
