Blake Lively Thanks Fans For All 'The Love' At Another Simple Favor Premiere Despite Justin Baldoni & Anna Kendrick Drama!

Blake Lively Thanks Fans For Support At Another Simple Favor Premiere Amid Justin Baldoni Drama!

Blake Lively is feeling the love… even amid her bitter battle against Justin Baldoni and reports of a feud with her other co-star Anna Kendrick!

The Gossip Girl star stepped out in Austin, Texas, on Friday to attend the premiere of her new film Another Simple Favor at SXSW. She really made the best of the rare public sighting by posing with fans and chatting happily with reporters on the carpet — despite a protester and some shady comments from Anna throughout the night!

But it seems like none of the possible drama is getting her down. Blake took to her Instagram on Tuesday to thank fans for the kind reception at the film festival. Sharing photos from throughout the weekend with various cast members, including Anna, Michele Morrone, Henry Golding, and Andrew Rannells, as well as director Paul Feig, she wrote:

“Watching @asimplefavor opening night @sxsw felt like a rock concert. Thank you to the very best audience. Texas turns it out. Making this movie was already the gift, every element of it. To share it with you all and feel the love returned to us was the best feeling. Thank you for having us Austin. And yes. It’s latex

See it HERE. She also followed up on Wednesday with some shots of her and Michele playing ping pong and some other behind-the-scenes snapshots from the weekend.

We can’t help but notice there are no personal pics with Anna. All the ones Blake included are from during the premiere — when they were either on the red carpet together or on stage chatting about the film. Makes you wonder if maybe those feud rumors really are true…

Once again, it’s inneresting to see the Age of Adaline alum out and about and so happy amid her sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit against her It Ends With Us director — after claiming the whole thing was taking a massive toll on her. We get that she was working and has a right to live her life amid all this, but we wonder if Justin will try to use her happiness against her? Maybe try to argue she’s not facing as much “trauma” as she claims in the suit? Hmm.

It’s why all her actions from now until the case is closed matter so much! Though this wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen her or her husband Ryan Reynolds make some questionable decisions pertaining to the legal trouble.

Anyways, thoughts on the premiere? Are you surprised by any of this? Share your hot takes in the comments (below)!
