Sharon Stone Slams *A Simple Favor*, Accuses Blake Lively Film of Firing Her

It’s not easy to navigate life’s challenges with grace, and it’s essential to do so with honesty and sincerity. Sharon Stone is making headlines recently, revealing that she was unexpectedly cut from the A Simple Favor sequel. The Oscar nominee shared a snarky Instagram post, which she later deleted, where she sarcastically wrote, “I loved being cast and removed from my role unexpectedly for no reason at all. Loved it.”

Sharon has not received any comments from her representatives or Amazon MGM Studios about the situation, but a source close to the production told Variety that Sharon was never officially cast in the sequel. There were initial talks, but due to financial reasons, the role was ultimately given to Elizabeth Perkins. Despite the drama surrounding Sharon’s departure, there’s already buzz building around the upcoming A Simple Favor sequel, set to stream in May, which has also been fueled by rumors of friction between its stars, Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.
