Notably, this is not the first time that the movie has been racked by controversy. Reports of feuding between Lively and Kendrick have emerged. According to The Sun, the follow-up to the 2018 movie, 'A Simple Favor,' the rumors about drama between the two began at South by Southwest Film & TV Festival in March.

Director Paul Feig addressed these rumors, asserting that there was no discord between Lively and Kendrick. YouTuber Melanie King shared a photo on X of the two actresses and alleged that Lively was scared of walking the red carpet and that Kendrick does not want to work with her again, Feig shut down the claims.
"Um ... you're wrong," he said.
