Blake Lively is the talk of Hollywood at the moment with fans divided over the Gossip Girl star, but the actress has revealed some ‘shocking things’ about working with Anna Kendrick
Blake Lively is said to have made a very savage dig at pal Anna Kendrick.
Blake and Anna have been painted as being best pals who are thriving both on and off screen, but the former has been engulfed in legal woes that have not only shaken Hollywood but their friendship as an old interview has revealed Lively said some “shocking” things about the Pitch Perfect star.
The pair starred alongside each other in 2018’s A Simple Favour when in a now shocking interview Blake made some surprising comments about working with Kendrick. At the time the comments were laughed off, but after reports the two have clashed behind the scenes, Blake’s words may have taken on a much deeper and darker meaning.
But a previous interview has since resurfaced following reports that the two leading ladies had clashed behind the scenes. It’s claimed that Blake branded Anna “horrible” while promoting A Simple Favour. However, the comments were shrugged off at the time.
However, Blake went on to say: “No we have so much fun together”. The American actress went on to reveal the two didn’t spend much time together off-set. She added: “A lot of the time we spent hanging out together is actually on camera, there’s so much time in hair and makeup, and when we get on set we just get to relax,” reports the MailOnline.
Although the words seemed like a joke, there has now been speculation that the pair are no longer as close as they once were.The riff revolves around the film’s sequel ‘Another Simple Favour’ which despite being on the verge of release, has been overshadowed by a long-running legal battle between Lively and Justin Baldoni. The ripples seem to have taken its toll on the film’s set, with the shadow placed over its filming reportedly irking Lively’s co-star.
The legal battle revolves around a feud over sexual harassment and defamation allegations between the two stars on the set of It Ends With Us. It started when Lively filed a legal complaint against co-star Baldoni for sexual harassment as well as running a smear campaign against her – which Baldoni strongly denies and has countersued her and her husband Ryan Reynolds in response.
However, during the press tour to promote the film that follows the story of a domestic abuse victim the Gossip Girl star received some criticism. Lively remarked “You are so much more than just a survivor or just a victim” at one event that sparked backlash on social media with another clumsy line where she said: “Grab your friends, wear your florals and head out to see it.” also harming her reputation.
The case cast ripples across Hollywood dividing not only stars but fans. America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel have all supported Lively but a fan conspiracy has taken over social media speculating that Kendrick isn’t as supportive after the onset feud.
In the interview for the first film, Kendrick replied to Lively’s response adding: ‘It was a nightmare I’m actually being held here against my will. I couldn’t have asked for a better team, because the style is so unique, if it was a lesser crew I would have thought we were maybe making kind of a disaster so I’m very grateful.”
With the sequel set for release next week, the actors have done little publicity to promote its second iteration with talk instead surrounding Lively’s situation.
