Blake Lively Attends SXSW Premiere Amidst Legal Dispute with Justin Baldoni

The actress celebrated the debut of 'Another Simple Favor' while navigating a high-profile lawsuit involving allegations of harassment and defamation.

Blake Lively appeared at the SXSW premiere of 'Another Simple Favor,' her first major public event since filing a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni in December 2024.
The lawsuit accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment during the filming of 'It Ends With Us' and alleges a smear campaign against her; Baldoni denies the claims and has countersued for defamation.
The legal battle has been contentious, with both sides rejecting mediation and a trial scheduled for March 2026.
At the SXSW event, Lively expressed gratitude to fans, describing the experience as a 'rock concert' and thanking Texas for its enthusiastic support.
Co-star Anna Kendrick appeared to avoid addressing the legal drama when asked about its impact on the film, while director Paul Feig dismissed rumors of tension between the cast members.
