“We stan Anna. Shame on Blake”: Anna Kendrick’s Colossal Selfless Act Makes Blake Lively Look Even Worse After ‘It Ends With Us’ Fiasco
- Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively starred in two major films this year.
- Kendrick donating the proceeds of her movie has landed Blake Lively in even more trouble.
- Lively allegedly had bad blood with the Twilight actress after working together on A Simple Favor.
The news of Anna Kendrick’s generous deed resurfacing on the internet through a viral Instagram post is only making things worse for Blake Lively, who does not seem to be catching a break ever since the release of the film It Ends with Us, and the subsequent press tour.
It began with the rumors of Lively’s alleged feud with her film’s co-star and director Justin Baldoni. The discourse spread around like wildfire when people began paying close attention to the film’s promotion, and then it was only a matter of time before they also discovered the alleged rumors of a feud between Lively and her A Simple Favor co-star Anna Kendrick.
Resurfaced News of Anna Kendrick Donating the Proceeds of Woman of the Hour Has Spelled More Trouble for Blake Lively
Both Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively began their careers as teenagers in Hollywood in the early 2000s and are two of the most well-known actresses in the industry right now. While Lively earned recognition for her roles in the series Gossip Girl and movies like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Shallows, Kendrick became popular for starring in the Twilight and Pitch Perfect film series.
This year, both of them were involved in movies that addressed major realistic issues. Lively’s It Ends with Us dealt with domestic abuse, and Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour was based on the true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala. While the former actress starred in an produced the film, the latter directed and starred in her film.
One big difference between the situations of these two actresses was that Lively did not seem too interested in addressing the elephant in the room- the domestic abuse in the film. On the other hand, during an interview on the Crime Junkie AF, Kendrick revealed that she donated her pay to RAINN (R*pe, Abuse & Incest National Network) and the National Center for Victims of Violent Crime.
An Instagram account recently posted about The Accountant actress’ generous act and fans were quick to jump back on the Blake Lively hate train. Here is what some of them wrote:
Blake L. could never
We stan Anna. Shame on Blake.
Blake lively take notes
This is what Blake Lively should have done
Blake. Take notes..do better
A majority of these jabs were aimed at Lively due to the fact that she allegedly had a feud with Kendrick after they starred together in a movie years ago. Not to mention that the mother of four also appeared to promote some of the product lines she owned while promoting It Ends with Us (via Dexerto).
Blake Lively Allegedly Feuded with Anna Kendrick
Lively and Kendrick crossed paths in 2018’s dark comedy thriller, A Simple Favor, in which they starred as co-leads. However, rumors of a feud between them did not hit the internet until 2021, when a popular TikTok account posted a video reporting on claims that, by the time the film wrapped, these two stars could hardly stand each other.
Then, the user followed it up with another video in which she showed a direct message from someone else who claimed to have worked at the film’s production company, Lionsgate, and alleged that “the rumors are true.” If that was not proof enough, last month, an insider told Life & Style that the actresses have “managed to put aside their personality differences”.
The outlet reported that Lively is very eager to get rid of her ‘mean girl’ reputation and will be starring in A Simple Favor 2 alongside Kendrick. If these reports are true, Lively might finally be able to regain her influence and reputation as one of the most beloved actresses in the industry.
