Los Angeles, Feb 5 (NationPress) Hollywood actress Blake Lively, who previously received backing from director Paul Feig, has now faced a snub from him in a social media update.
Blake was excluded from a promotional post by the director regarding a new film in which she stars amid her ongoing disputes with Justin Baldoni, as reported by Mirror.co.uk.
The Gossip Girl star has been entangled in a legal feud with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin since she filed the initial lawsuit concerning his alleged behavior.
According to Mirror.co.uk, she has accused Justin of sexual harassment and claims that there is a deliberate PR effort aimed at damaging her reputation following their film collaboration.
In response, Justin filed a countersuit against Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds for an astounding $400 million, asserting that they are attempting to “destroy” his reputation and career.
Additionally, it has been reported that the high-profile couple's legal representatives have submitted a notice indicating their intention to dismiss Justin’s lawsuit, aligning with Judge Lewis Linman's court ruling on how the case should progress.
In the midst of this legal turmoil, director Paul Feig posted a promotional image for his new film, Another Simple Favour, on Instagram, which features both Blake and Anna Kendrick. This highly anticipated film is set to debut on Prime Video and is a sequel to A Simple Favour, released in 2018.
The promotional image includes Blake and Anna, yet Paul only tagged Anna along with other cast members such as Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Michelle Morrone, Allison Janney, and Elizabeth Perkins.
He also tagged Amazon's official accounts but omitted Blake from his post. In the caption, he stated, “I have a simple favor to ask you… can you save the date? #AnotherSimpleFavor from @AmazonMGMStudios is premiering as the opening night film at @SXSW in Austin on March 7th. Then we hit @PrimeVideo on May 1st. Stay tuned for more details and much more fun.”
