Anna Kendrick delivers shady response about reuniting with Blake Lively for ‘Another Simple Favor’ premiere

Anna Kendrick seemed to throw some shade at her “Another Simple Favor” co-star Blake Lively.

Ahead of the film’s premiere at SXSW in Texas Friday night, the actress was asked how she felt about reuniting with Lively for the sequel to 2018’s “A Simple Favor.”

“Anna, what does it mean to be working with Blake again?” a reporter from “Entertainment Tonight” asked Kendrick, who responded, “Oh, you know…”

In another video shared by “Entertainment Tonight” on Friday, Lively was asked the same question — but gave a more positive response about reuniting with her co-star.

She said working with Kendrick again was “the best” and that she’s “so happy.”

Reps for Lively and Kendrick did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Despite the slight shade from Kendrick, she and Lively appeared cordial while snapping pics with director Paul Feig and other cast members on the red carpet.

Kendrick wore a black LaQuan Smith look while Lively donned a chic Renée Masoomian dress.

They sat apart from each other for the screening, however, with Kendrick in the row ahead of Lively.

An eyewitness inside the theatre told Page Six that fans gave both women a loud cheer when Feig shouted them out shortly before the screening began.

After the film wrapped, we’re told the stars stood next to each other as they joined the rest of the cast on stage for a Q&A session.

The insider told Page Six that Lively echoed her previous comments about Kendrick, saying that it was “amazing” to work with her and the cast again.

Kendrick’s comments come amid Lively’s bitter legal feud with Justin Baldoni.

Last December, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, claiming that he sexually harassed her while filming their 2024 movie, “It Ends With Us.”

She also accused the director, 41, and his team of orchestrating a smear campaign against her.

Baldoni denied all claims and, in turn, filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against the “Age of Adaline” actress, along with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist, Leslie Sloane.

The “Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity” author also filed a $250 million libel suit against the New York Times, alleging the newspaper “cherry-picked and altered communications” without providing “necessary context.” (The New York Times defended their reporting.)

Baldoni and Lively’s trial is set for March 2026.
