Olivia Wilde Addresses 'Nastiness' Behind Jason Sudeikis' Custody 'Attack'

Olivia Wilde is speaking out about her ex-fiancé, Jason Sudeikis.

In a new interview with Variety the “Don’t Worry Darling” director opened up about being served custody papers while presenting at CinemaCon.

Back in April, Wilde took the stage at the event to promote her new movie, which just so happens to star her boyfriend, Harry Styles.

Wilde stars in and directs the film.

According to Sudeikis, his split from Wilde was unexpected and very hard. He hit “rock bottom” following the breakup.

They share two children together, a son named Otis and a daughter named Daisy.

The “Horrible Bosses” actor and Wilde were together for seven years before breaking up in November 2020.

By January 2021, Wilde was making headlines for a new relationship with Styles.

“It was my workplace,” Wilde explained to the publication. “In any other workplace, it would be seen as an attack. It was really upsetting. It shouldn’t have been able to happen. There was a huge breach in security, which is really scary.”

Wilde believes there was some forethought put into the “attack,” which directly contradicts Sudeikis’ claims he had “no knowledge” his ex would be served custody papers at CinemaCon.

A source revealed to The Hollywood Reporter, “Mr. Sudeikis had no prior knowledge of the time or place that the envelope would have been delivered, as this would solely be up to the process service company involved, and he would never condone her being served in such an inappropriate manner.”

“The hurdles that you had to jump through to get into that room with several badges, plus special COVID tests that had to be taken days in advance, which gave you wristbands that were necessary to gain access to the event — this was something that required forethought,” the actress admitted. “I hated that this nastiness distracted from the work of so many different people and the studio that I was up there representing. To try to sabotage that was really vicious. But I had a job to do; I’m not easily distracted. But, you know, sadly, it was not something that was entirely surprising to me. I mean, there’s a reason I left that relationship.”

As previously mentioned, Sudeikis claimed to have no knowledge of the plans and would “never condone” his ex being served in such an “inappropriate manner.”

Of course, the internet was abuzz about his shady move with some people praising him and others dragging his a**.

“Olivia Wilde getting served child custody papers while doing a presentation for her movie is the exact kind of petty we should all strive for. Props Jason Sudeikis,” one person tweeted.

One critic commented, “Jason Sudeikis is a scumbag. How can he have something as private as custody papers delivered to his ex while she’s working? It’s already hard enough for women without psycho exes undermining their livelihood.”

This fan praised the former ‘SNL’ star writing, “Wait, y’all telling me he served her custody papers while on stage? Jason Sudeikis continues to be a great white.”

One person found the entire situation hysterical and accused Wilde of cheating on her former fiancé.

“I’m sorry but Olivia Wilde being served her custody papers while on stage, promoting her move that she stars in with her now boyfriend, that she definitely cheated with while she was still with Jason Sudeikis, is so funny to me,” they commented.

Another an added, “I’m sure Jason Sudeikis tried to get his ex, Olivia Wilde, to meet him half way with the custody issues. But there’s only so much he can do. It’s obvious who Olivia Wilde puts first in her life & it’s not her kids. Congratulations Harry Styles hope it was worth it.”

In a 2021 interview with GQ, Sudeikis admitted he didn’t even have a clear understanding about the end of their relationship at the time Wilde and Styles were spotted holding hands at the singer’s friend’s wedding.

“I'll have a better understanding of why in a year,” Sudeikis said, “and an even better one in two, and an even greater one in five, and it'll go from being, you know, a book of my life to becoming a chapter to a paragraph to a line to a word to a doodle.”
