Ever since the discourse surrounding Blake Lively has ramped up, fans have been paying very close attention to her public appearances — and with Another Simple Favor having just been released into the world, Anna Kendrick has now been dragged into the drama.
The two stars have been doing interviews alongside one another for their ongoing press tour, and the media is eager to find out if there was any tension while or after shooting the movie.
In one clip posted by Variety on X, a 50-second video showed Lively explaining how she assumed filming the project in Capri, Italy would be way too expensive compared to their usual location of a city in Connecticut.

Soon, however, the gorgeous island won her over as she joked, “They serve you ice cream in lemons!”
And as Kendrick stood next to her, she looked down and avoided eye contact for a brief while, as she nodded along. One user retweeted it, writing, “The way Anna Kendrick is staring at the floor tells you everything you need to know.”
Others flocked to the comments to dissect the Pitch Perfect star’s body language.
“I was thinking the same, when I dislike a person I cannot look at them. I’m like disgusted to even glance at them,” someone claimed.

“Especially because when the other person speaks, she actually looks at them. Yikes,” another wrote, referring to the moment Kendrick smiled and laughed as the man next to her spoke up.
A third noted, “Anna Kendrick has a bad rep too but she actually comes out smelling like a rose after all this.”
“She can’t stomach her any more than most of us,” said a person.
Her head was down, looking at the floor for the majority of the talk Lively was talking

But there is certainly no solid evidence of any bad blood between Kendrick and Lively, and a few thought the reading of the former’s body language went a little too far.
“Meanwhile if you watch the full clip they are laughing with each other at several moments, more lies created by just looking at snippets,” someone disagreed.
“Not really,” another stated. “If I’m on stage with someone giving some sort of presentation, I’m not going to stare at them while they are speaking. I’ll look down, around the room, casually glance at the person every so often.
“Doesn’t say sh–t. Says more about you, actually.”

One netizen harshly criticized, “Did you watch the clip? She’s listening, nodding and smiling while looking down for like 4 sec before she does look at her? You people are psychotic.”
However, this wasn’t the only time Kendrick seemingly threw shade at her fellow co-star, as reported by various media outlets.
Ahead of the film’s premiere at SXSW in Texas on the night of March 7, a reporter from Entertainment Tonight asked Kendrick, “Anna, what does it mean to be working with Blake again?” as the two had starred alongside each other for 2018’s A Simple Favor.
Kendrick only responded with, “Oh, you know…” before walking again.

When Lively was asked the same question, she cheerfully said, “Oh it’s the best,” and added that she was “so happy.”
Fans thought the exchange was absolutely hilarious.
