As the stars of Another Simple Favor dodge questions about their co-star’s ordeal, director Paul Feig is coming to Blake Lively‘s defense. The 4x Emmy nominee recently expressed his support for the actress as “an amazing collaborator” amid her ongoing legal feud with It Ends with Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

As a result, Another Simple Favor director Paul Feig has had to defend Blake against online trolls on multiple occasions. In January of this year, he denied that the film had been shelved; the following month, Paul had to hop in the comments section to defend Blake against allegations that she had final cut over the film.
