Director Feig, 62, has come to Lively’s defense multiple times on social media since her legal battle with Baldoni began in December 2024.

“I’ve now made two movies with Blake and all I can say is she’s one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I’ve ever worked with,” theBridesmaidsfilmmakerwrote Dec. 22.

Then in February, when an Instagram commenter questioned whether theSimple Favorsequel is “Paul Feig’s cut or Blake’s cut,” he replied: “It’s my cut. There is no other cut. Blake has been nothing but supportive and a dream to work with. She is the best and an amazing collaborator and I’m her biggest fan.”
