Blake Lively sparks outrage with shocking incest scene in new movie that's leaving fans uncomfortable

Blake Lively's new movie is raising eyebrows because of one particular scene.

Another Simple Favor, a sequel to the 2018 film A Simple Favor, debuted on Prime Video on May 1, which saw both Lively and Anna Kendrick reprise their respective roles of Emily and Stephanie in the movie, while Subservience actor Michele Morrone joined the already star-studded cast for the sequel.

At the time of writing, Another Simple Favor has garnered a 67 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer in comparison to the first film's 84 percent score.

While it has a somewhat mediocre review on Rotten Tomatoes, some viewers have argued that the movie 'defies expectations', with it being described as a 'divinely twisted thriller'.

Amid the mixed reviews the film has received, viewers seem to have taken issue with one mind-boggling scene in particular.

As well as playing Emily, Lively portrays her character's twin sister Charity and the pair share a kiss — and it didn't take long for viewers to take to Twitter to share their thoughts on the scene in question.

One person penned: "GUYSSSS I AM HORRIFIED. I decided to watch Another Simple Favor and why is Blake Lively’s characters twin making sexual advances to her HEEELPP."

"Another Simple Favour is the strangest incest-filled movie i have ever watched," said another.

A third reviewer wrote: "Another Simple Favor was good until the weird incest shit started(again)! At least in the last movie it kinda made sense but in this one it was no cause for it!"

"The lesbian incest in Another Simple Favor was a surprise," continued someone else.

Others pointed out that the unusual scene comes after an episode in the recent season of The White Lotus also featured incest.

This happened between on-screen brothers Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola.

Many people branded the scene as 'gross', but executive producer David Bernard didn't think that the moment between Schwarzenegger and Nivola was 'too far'.

"No, in terms of that — that’s all [creator Mike White]. Mike is brilliant, and I think those big story turns are not just for shock," the told New York Post.

"There’s a specific reason in terms of the narrative storytelling, and the larger thematic idea Mike is trying to get across."

Bernard continued. "As the season wraps up, you’ll see the purpose of that story turn. The show goes there for a larger thematic idea. I love that family storyline, especially the brother story — and, it culminates in a very satisfying way."
