Blake Lively has failed to shut down the Another Simple Favor drama as she shared a very telling clue that all is not well between her and Anna Kendrick.

Rumors have been swirling that there is tension between leading stars Blake, 37, and Anna, 39, and their appearance at SXSW Film Festival only fueled the fire. 

Anna gave a cryptic response when she was asked what it was like to be working with Blake again, who is currently involved in a legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

Now, Blake seemingly attempted to shut down any rumors of tension in her latest Instagram post, but there was a very telling clue that all is not well.

On Tuesday night, Blake shared a gallery of pH๏τographs from the movie’s promotional tour in Austin and gushed over working with ‘each of you’ in a caption.

She featured pictures of her co-star Anna and the film’s director Paul Feig at Friday’s SXSW Film Festival, but they weren’t in any of the behind-the-scenes snaps.

Blake attempted to shut down any rumors in her latest post, but all the group sH๏τs featured members of her own team. She is pictured (R) with ᴀssistant Sophia Travaglia, manager Justin Grey Stone, talent agent Mike DeVeau, make-up artist Kristofer Buckle and her husband Ryan Reynolds’ publicist Jami Kandel, among others

Other than her co-star Michele Morrone, 34, being included in pictures of them playing table tennis, all of the group sH๏τs simply featured members of Blake’s own team.

Out of the 20 sH๏τs, Anna was only included in one pH๏τograph of her and Blake on stage at SXSW Film Festival on Friday, rather than any of the snaps of Blake’s social nights out with her team.

Meanwhile, director Paul, 62, was pictured signing autographs at the festival, but didn’t appear to feature in any other pictures of Blake’s days out around Austin. 

Blake shared an array of pictures of herself enjoying meals out during the promotional tour, but she was simply joined by members of her own publicity and filming team – rather than her co-stars.

The sH๏τs saw Blake posing with her manager Justin Grey Stone, ᴀssistant Sophia Travaglia, talent agent Mike DeVeau, make-up artist Kristofer Buckle and her husband Ryan Reynolds’ publicist Jami Kandel, among others.

Despite the telling clue, Blake tried to shut down rumors of tension in a caption as she gushed: ‘Final Austin roundup for @asimplefavor. I know how fortunate I am to work with each of you.

‘Thank you to my friends and loved ones for making this weekend so special. Ok. Back to sweatpants now. That was fun.’

MailOnline has contacted Blake’s representatives for comment. 

Other than her co-star Michele Morrone, 34, being included in pictures of them playing table tennis, all of her behind-the-scenes snaps were with her own team 

One pH๏τograph showed her out for dinner with pal Christian Zavala and her ᴀssistant Sophia as she thanked her friends for making the weekend ‘so special’ 

She was all smiles in one pH๏τograph as she wrapped her arms around Sophia as she featured in a third slide

Another Simple Favor’s director Paul tried to shut down any claims of tension between Blake and Anna amid the ongoing rumors.

When a YouTube star claimed on X that Blake was ‘terrified to walk the red carpet’ with Anne at the Another Simple Favor premiere on Friday, Paul hit back with: ‘Um … you’re wrong.’

In an interview with People, he also gushed that making the film ‘was too much fun’ as he brushed off the allegations of behind-the-scenes tension.

‘I mean, I had such a great experience on the first one. It always kind of stuck with me, like, “God, I love working with the two of them”,’ he said. 

At the premiere, both actresses walked the red carpet separately, as is the usual practice but later joined each other for group pH๏τographs.

When asked about working with Anna again for the sequel to their hit 2018 thriller A Simple Favor, Blake described her co-star as ‘the best’.

However, when Entertainment Tonight asked Anna a similar question,  she refused to get involved in any drama as she gave a cryptic response.

She simply replied: ‘Oh, you know…’ before walking away to take a selfie with a fan, sending fans into overdrive on social media.

In a red carpet interview with Variety, Anna also feigned ignorance about the controversy as she asked: ‘Why? What happened?’

She then added: ‘I did ayahuasca and the last year of my life has been gone.’

Turning to the backdrop, she said: ‘But I hear the movie is amazing,’ as she refused to be drawn any further.

This time, they are traveling to Italy for Emily’s wedding to a wealthy Italian businessman. 

Somehow, amidst all the wedding preparations, murder and betrayal are also on the ‘to do’ list.
