‘Another Simple Favor’ Director Paul Feig Slams “Boring” Outrage Against Blake Lively


As the stars of 'Another Simple Favor' dodge questions about their co-star's ordeal, director Paul Feig is coming to Blake Lively's defense.

The 4x Emmy nominee recently expressed his support for the actress as “an amazing collaborator” amid her ongoing legal feud with It Ends with Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni. Lively, who recently opened up about going through “the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in my life” over the past year, previously filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging he launched a retaliatory smear campaign against her for reporting sexual harassment and workplace safety concerns. Baldoni followed Lively’s December 2024 lawsuit with a countersuit alleging defamation and other contractual claims against the actress and other defendants, including her husband Ryan Reynolds, for $400 million.
