Sharon Stone has claimed she was “unexpectedly” dropped from the cast of Another Simple Favor in a shady Instagram post. Stone, 67, amped up the sarcasm as she blasted: “I LOVED being cast and removed from my role unexpectedly for no reason at all LOVED it 👏👏👏👏.” The legendary actress was responding to an E! News reel about the Paul Feig-directed movie, which also stars Blake Lively. The thriller is due to be released on Amazon Prime Video on May 1, sans Stone, who was never publicly on the bill. The new flick is a sequel to 2018’s A Simple Favor, which starred Lively, 37, and Anna Kendrick, 39. Rumored beef between the two has overshadowed the production. “Oh you know,” Anna cryptically responded when asked at the South By Southwest premiere last week how it felt to work alongside Lively again. It was awkward night for Lively, after she was also blindsided by a protester with a ‘Justice for Justin Baldoni, Blake lied’ sign. Lively and Baldoni, her It Ends With Us co-star and director, are locked in a legal battle stemming from a suit filed by the actress in December, alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign by Baldoni.
