Blake Lively Celebrates SXSW Premiere While Navigating Legal Dispute with Justin Baldoni

The actress shared gratitude for fan support during the debut of 'Another Simple Favor' as her legal battle with Baldoni continues.

Blake Lively attended the SXSW premiere of her film 'Another Simple Favor,' marking her first major movie event since her legal dispute with Justin Baldoni began.
In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, which Baldoni denies. He countersued for defamation in January 2025.
The legal battle has included disputes over protective orders and third-party subpoenas, with a trial scheduled for March 2026.
Lively expressed gratitude for fan support at the premiere, describing the event as feeling like a 'rock concert' and calling the experience a gift.
The film, a sequel to the 2018 movie 'A Simple Favor,' will be released on Amazon Prime Video on May 1, 2025.
