At the premiere of Another Simple Favor at SXSW, Anna Kendrick’s response to a question about her co-star Blake Lively has gone viral, leaving fans speculating about the nature of their relationship. During a red-carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kendrick was asked, “Anna, what does it mean to be working with Blake again?”
Kendrick’s response, which seemed to evade the question, was short and vague: “Oh, you know.” This unexpected reply quickly caught the attention of fans, many of whom took to X (formerly Twitter) to react, sparking a wave of speculation regarding the two actresses’ current dynamic.
The exchange has prompted a mix of reactions, with many fans interpreting Kendrick’s response as “shady.” One user on X commented, “And this is why we will support Anna,” suggesting that Kendrick was being deliberately evasive, while another fan called it a smart move, saying, “She didn’t clown Blake. She just wasn’t taking the bait.” Others found Kendrick’s ability to maintain composure in an awkward moment particularly impressive, with one comment reading, “Classic Anna Kendrick – making interviews awkward but still being the coolest person in the room.”

Despite the curious interaction, both Kendrick and Lively appeared to have a cordial presence at the premiere, posing together alongside co-star Michele Morrone on the red carpet. Their reunion was part of the promotion for Another Simple Favor, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 film A Simple Favor. Directed by Paul Feig, the film is slated to be released on Amazon Prime Video on May 1.
This incident comes amid ongoing public interest in Blake Lively’s personal life. Last December, Lively made headlines when she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. In the lawsuit, Lively accused Baldoni of multiple offenses, including altering intimate scenes without her consent, unwanted physical advances, and attempts to undermine her personal life. Lively further alleged that Baldoni had orchestrated a smear campaign against her, a claim that has garnered significant media attention. The trial is scheduled to take place in March 2026.
While the timing of Kendrick’s comment has led some to connect it to Lively’s ongoing legal battles, no direct link between the two actresses’ relationship and the case has been confirmed. Nonetheless, the viral moment from Kendrick has added another layer to the ongoing public conversation about both actresses and their professional dynamics.With Another Simple Favor just around the corner, the incident is likely to fuel more speculation ahead of the film’s release, keeping fans intrigued about the future of the franchise and the behind-the-scenes relationships between its stars.
