So, what did Paul Feig say to support Blake Lively? Here is his stance explored.
What did Paul Feig say about Blake Lively?
Paul Feig reaffirmed his support for Blake Lively through an Instagram comment.
While promoting Another Simple Favor, the highly anticipated sequel to A Simple Favor, Feig, Lively, Anna Kendrick, and Amazon Prime Video shared a collaborative post. In the comment section, a fan asked if the upcoming film is “Paul Feig’s cut or Blake’s cut.”
Feig swiftly responded, stating, “It’s my cut. There is no other cut. Blake has been nothing but supportive and a dream to work with. She is the best and an amazing collaborator and I’m her biggest fan. Just wanted to clear that up.”
This fan comment is a reference to the reports of two cuts of It Ends With Us. Here, one cut was a heavily edited version from Lively. Meanwhile, the other was the cut fully supervised by Justin Baldoni.
The comments section was filled with many scathing and negative remarks from fans, who claimed they would not see the film because Blake Lively was in it and expressed sympathy towards her co-star Anna Kendrick. Some comments even suggested the notion of Lively influencing Kendrick’s involvement with the film.
Paul Feig previously expressed his support for Lively after she first filed the lawsuit against Baldoni. He did so via X, where he praised her talents and said that she was undeserving of the smear campaign she had been experiencing. Moreover, he also debunked the rumors of Lively’s lawsuit delaying the film’s release.
