Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick aren’t feuding like everyone says, and they definitely didn’t have any issues on the South by Southwest red carpet — this, according to the director of their new movie.
Here’s the deal … rumors about tension between Lively and Kendrick have exploded after their shared appearance at the well-known film festival.
One social media user shared a group photo featuring both of them … claiming she reported that Anna was pissed at Blake and didn’t want to work with her ever again — which is when director Paul Feig stepped in.
If you don’t know … Feig directed both “A Simple Favor” and “Another Simple Favor” — the latter of which premiered at SXSW this weekend.
Feig responded to the claims by saying that the person who reported the info was straight-up wrong — there’s not trouble between the two stars.

To be fair … video is circulating online featuring Kendrick blowing off a question about what it was like to work with Lively — so, it’s not surprising the online chatter has picked up steam recently.
Blake was far more complimentary of her costar … saying it was just the best to work with her — leading some to believe Anna wasn’t happy whatsoever.
Clearly Paul’s trying to put all those rumors to rest … though it’s probably not going to convince many who swear by the gossip.
