Back in April, Ted Lasso actor Jason Sudeikis served his ex Olivia Wilde custody papers in particularly dramatic and public fashion while she was speaking on a panel before thousands, including numerous Hollywood executives. Now, for the first time since, the Don’t Worry Darling director addressed the incident in court documents obtained by the Daily Mail.
“Jason’s actions were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard,” Wilde said in the documents. “He could have served me discreetly, but instead he chose to serve me in the most aggressive manner possible.” She continued: “The fact that Jason would embarrass me professionally and put our personal conflict on public display in this manner is extremely contrary to our children’s best interests. Since Jason has made it clear that we will not be able to work this out for our children’s sake outside of the court system, I filed a petition for custody in Los Angeles.”
Back in April, Sudeikis tried to clarify that Wilde being served on stage as she spoke about her upcoming movie hadn’t been his intention. He doubled down on this in the documents shared by the Daily Mail, claiming he’d requested for Wilde to be served at Heathrow Airport in London rather than her boyfriend Harry Styles’ home, where she’s currently living, “because Otis and Daisy [Wilde and Sudeikis’ children] might be present.” Sudeikis also said he “did not want service to take place at the children’s school because parents might be present.”
As a result of logistical barriers, Sudeikis says Wilde couldn’t be served at those locations, nor her hotel in Las Vegas ahead of the panel she was speaking on. The actor said in the court filing that he continues to “feel great distress at the manner in which service was made.”
