Blake Lively stunt at Another Simple Favour premiere backfires

Blake Lively is back in the limelight with the promotions and the premiere of her new flick, Another Simple Favour.

Sequel to 2018’s A Simple Favour, the movie is set to release on May 1 in US.

During the SXSW premiere of the film, the Age of Adaline star is believed to have pulled a stunt that backfired and brought her negative attention.

When the pictures and videos of Deadpool star’s wife’s interaction with the fans at the premiere became viral, eagle-eyed netizens were quick to notice one peculiarity.

The director’s wife Laurie Feig could be seen in the crowd pretending to be a fan.

A Youtuber wrote questioning Feig’s presence, “Why is the director of Another Simple Favor’s wife pretending to be a fan in the crowd waiting for Blake on the red carpet to take a selfie?”

Watch how many PR bots reply that ‘this is normal’, ‘internalized misogyny’, and ‘why do you care’?” the social media user added.

However, it appears that there is more to what meets the eye.

Apparently Feig wasn’t standing in the crowd’s section; rather she was on the red carpet side.

The 37-year-old had rather stepped onto the other side to take selfies with her fans.

It seems that in the middle of the heated environment surrounding the controversy Lively and It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni are embroiled in, Ryan Reynolds wife need to take every step very carefully.

The fans are not giving any leeway to the star they oppose in the ongoing fued.
