"It's sh*t" - Billy Bush says Blake Lively's Another Simple Favor is a "soap opera" with a "major motion picture budget"

Amid Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's legal tussle, Lively's latest movie, Another Simple Favor, has also become a hot discussion topic on the internet, and various internet personalities are reviewing the film. Billy Bush has now shared his viewpoint on the movie, calling it "sh*t."

The actor and podcaster, Billy Bush, streamed live on May 8 on his YouTube channel, Hot Mics with Billy Bush, in which he zoomed into several aspects of Blake Lively's lawsuit. He also shared a detailed review of Another Simple Favor.

"It's sh*t, it's not for me. I don't know that I'm the demo, but this thing is like a soap opera and a telenovala with a major motion picture budget. I mean, it's just as crazy. There's that it's it's not even twins. It's now triplets and and there's murder and there's mafia and it's so over the top. I think it's designed to be over the top ....," Billy said.

While criticizing the plot, he praised Lively's performance in the movie.

"I'm going to say this though. In a bad movie, Blake Lively's pretty good in it. She plays, you know, an evil woman [ Billy chuckled while saying it], who marries for money and she's terrible.... And the clothes this time, well, her wardrobe is a disaster in 'It Ends With Us.' Very chic in this film...," Billy added.

Further in the video, Bush talked about other reports appearing in Lively and Baldoni's legal drama.

Billy Bush's comments on Blake Lively

While Billy addressed Lively's controversy in his May 8 livestream, he later uploaded a nine-minute YouTube clip on May 9, focusing solely on her.

In the video, he analyzes a pro-Lively article published by The Guardian on May 6, in which it was stated that several celebrities and organizations have supported Blake — a claim Bush questions.

"I read begins with, uh, this line. Many Hollywood figures and organizations have come out in support of Lively. Which ones? I haven't seen any.....The two women Blake claims also have sexual harassment complaints against Baldoni and his partner Jamey Heath do not....," Billy said.

He further added,

"Brandon Slenar, co-star in the film, and and Colleen Hoover, the author of the book It Ends With Us, have both retreated. They're gone. They immediately came out in her support when the New York Times article came out, but they're gone. Her best friend, Taylor Swift, is pissed and gone."

The May 6 report additionally quoted Zhouhan Chen, a founder of a social media data analysis firm, who said that 80 percent of posts favoring Justin Baldoni are inorganic. On this, Billy reacted and gave reference to old Blake Lively's interview, in which she can be spotted "shading the interviewer" and "not being very nice." Bush said that it wasn't AI Blake.
