Watch: Blake Lively's Attorneys Condemn "More Attacks" From Justin Baldoni's Legal Team

Paul Feig asks you do yourself a simple favor and don't believe everything you see on the Internet.

The director slammed speculation that A Simple Favor 2 starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick had been shelved by Amazon because of, as one user on X claimed, "Blake Lively's refusal to promote -- amid her messy legal battle Justin Baldoni -- and growing tensions with Anna Kendrick. Anna is furious. Paul Feig is disappointed. Hollywood is in shock."

As it turns out, the 62-year-old is just shocked by the absurdity of these rumors. "This is total BS. Sorry," he wrote in a quote tweet Jan. 10. "The movie is finished and coming out soon. Don't believe anything you read on social media these days."

As for why the sequel doesn't have a release date despite wrapping production in April 2024? Well, he has answers for that, too.

"It's called post production, which generally takes over half a year at least when you factor in editing, scoring, special effects, sound mixing, close captioning and all the technical quality control that has to be done," Feig explained. "Our post schedule always had us finishing everything by mid-January."
