Blake Lively Attends SXSW Premiere of New Film After Legal Dispute With Justin Baldoni
Blake Lively made a notable appearance at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film & TV Festival on March 7, 2025, attending the premiere of her latest film, “Another Simple Favor.”
This event marked her first public engagement since the onset of her legal dispute with actor and director Justin Baldoni.
At the premiere, Lively appeared upbeat and engaged, interacting warmly with fans and posing for photographs.
She expressed her enthusiasm about reprising her role as Emily Nelson, stating that reuniting with co-star Anna Kendrick was “the best” and that the experience was thoroughly enjoyable.
“Another Simple Favor,” directed by Paul Feig, is the sequel to the 2018 film “A Simple Favor.”
The narrative follows Stephanie (Kendrick), now a private investigator, as she attends Emily’s (Lively) extravagant wedding in Capri, Italy. The film is scheduled for release on Amazon Prime Video on May 1.
Lively’s appearance comes amid an ongoing legal battle with Baldoni, her co-star and director in the film adaptation of “It Ends with Us.”
In December 2024, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, alleging that Baldoni had created a hostile work environment through inappropriate comments and unsolicited physical contact during filming. Baldoni has denied these allegations and has filed a defamation lawsuit in response.
Nollywood Actress and Influencer, Priscilla Ojo-Mkambala, expresses gratitude to her mother for her support during her pregnancy.
The influencer took to social media and shared a video of Iyabo Ojo cooking for her, stating that her mother cares for her so much and deserves the best grandma award.
“She left her business, work, and life in Lagos just to take care of her baby who’s expecting a baby soon. I don’t even get to think about what I want to eat because she’s already in the kitchen making me something. The best grandma award definitely goes to her!”
Apostle Suleman joins social activist, VeryDarkMan, in protesting against Dangote trucks in Edo State.
A video of the Apostle meeting with VDM along the way went viral, as fans and followers pointed out that the two had paired up to lead the protest.
It can be noted that more victims of Dangote trucks have spoken about their accidents. A recent crash also killed three people and left Phyna’s sister with a leg amputation.
VDM protested and demanded that the company take accountability and care for its victims instead of ignoring the issues. The protest ended up blocking the road in Auchi, Edo State, preventing Dangote trucks from operating.
Nigerian Singer, Reekado Banks, speaks on his separation from Mavin Records label. It can be noted that the singer left the record label in 2018 by his own choice.
During a recent interview, the singer recalled when he left the record label and admitted that he might have left too early in his career.
“I thought I wanted to do this now. I thought I could do it now. I just embarked on the journey, as many people would view it, prematurely. As soon as I jumped into the sea as well, I realized how premature it was.”
