Blake Lively’s Incest Scene in ‘Another Simple Favor’ Sparks Fan Meltdown

This title retains the core elements (Blake Lively, the film, the controversial scene, and the intense fan reaction) while streamlining phrasing for clarity and concision. "Sparks" replaces "sends into" to align with common headline conventions, and "meltdown" is preserved to reflect the severity of the reaction.

Blake Lively has sparked controversy with her new film *Another Simple Favor*, which features a shocking incest plot twist. The 37-year-old actress, already in the spotlight due to ongoing legal battles with Justin Baldoni and her husband Ryan Reynolds, plays Emily—a character revealed to be one of three secret triplets. In a jaw-dropping scene, Emily shares a kiss with her sister Charity, also portrayed by Lively through CGI and body doubles.

Social media erupted, with one user quipping, “How does Blake turn a bad film into a soapy mess? Just add incest!” Others criticized the plot as “worse than a Lifetime movie.” The backlash echoes the 2018 original *A Simple Favor*, where Lively’s character famously called her co-star a “brotherf–ker” after a half-sibling romance twist.

In the sequel, director Paul Feig amplifies the chaos: Emily (Lively) plans a lavish Italian wedding post-prison, dragging Anna Kendrick’s character Stephanie into a murder mystery. The plot peaks when the deranged triplet Charity drugs Emily, confesses to killings, and whispers, “We’re one,” before a disturbing kiss. Critics called the scene “unnecessary” and “gratuitous,” though some fans praised Lively’s bold performance.

Off-screen, Lively addressed her tumultuous year during a recent *Late Night* appearance, alluding to legal disputes with Baldoni: “This year’s highs and lows reminded me how vital it is to speak up—especially for women facing silence.” The case is set for court in 2026.

While the film leans into campy thrills, its divisive storyline ensures *Another Simple Favor*—like its predecessor—will remain a talking point. Whether viewed as provocative art or shock-value fodder, Lively’s dual role cements her knack for headlines.
