Lively made the comments as sparks continue to fly amid her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
Blake Lively has expressed her gratitude for fans after she stepped out to the SXSW premiere of her new film Another Simple Favor in Austin, Texas.
Lively made the comments as sparks continue to fly amid her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
On Tuesday, the actress took to Instagram to share photos from the star-studded event over the weekend, including several of herself with co-stars Anna Kendrick and Michele Morrone.
“Watching @asimplefavor opening night @sxsw felt like a rock concert,” she captioned the photo dump. “Thank you to the very best audience. Texas turns it out.”
“Making this movie was already the gift, every element of it,” Lively, 37, added. “To share it with you all and feel the love returned to us was the best feeling. Thank you for having us Austin.”
The Gossip Girl star walked the red carpet at the Paramount Theatre in Austin on Friday night.
She wore pink latex gown from Renée Masoomian and styled her long blond locks half-up.
Baldoni has denied allegations made against him and filed a $400m countersuit for defamation against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.
Lively and Baldoni will fight the feud in court in March 2026.
“Final Austin roundup for @asimplefavor,” she wrote in another post. “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.”
Blake — who shares James, 10, Inez, eight, Betty, five, and Olin, two, with Reynolds —also proved SXSW was a family affair, including a snippet from a hilarious family memory of her wearing takeout bags as shoes.
“You kid forgets their shoes, but you have yours on,” Blake wrote in a photo included in her posts. “So naturally, you give them yours, then you mom hack. Paper bags. No shoes. No problem.”
The lighthearted messages come amid Blake’s turbulent back-and-forth legal battle with her It Ends With Us director.
In December, she filed a complaint alleging loss of wages and sexual harassment on the set of the Colleen Hoover adaptation, before filing an official lawsuit later that month
As well as filing a subsequent countersuit against her and her husband, Baldoni sued the couple’s publicist and filed a separate lawsuit against the New York Times for publishing a story detailing Blake’s initial complaint.
In the months since, the pair continued to battle through their legal teams.
