The Oscar-nominated actress’s demeanor shifted noticeably when she was questioned about her co-star, who has been making headlines due to an ongoing legal dispute.

Anna Kendrick made an appearance at the Austin, Texas, premiere of “Another Simple Favor” on March 7, 2025. When asked about working with Blake Lively again on the film, her three-word response quickly sparked online discussions, with one user commenting, “Speaks volumes.”

Kendrick was cheerfully signing autographs when a fan asked, “Anna, what does it mean to be working with Blake again?” In an instant, her smile faded. Without breaking stride, she simply replied, “Oh, you know.”

Her brief yet telling response ignited conversations across social media. One person remarked, “The way her facial expression changed,” followed by a string of crying face emojis.

Meanwhile, another individual commented, “obsessed with this shady yet elusive response [sic],” adding a hand-covered face emoji.
