Olivia Wilde has reportedly been served with legal papers on behalf of her ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis while appearing on stage to promote her new film. The director appeared at CinemaCon in Las Vegas at a presentation for her upcoming thriller, Don’t Worry Darling, which stars her partner Harry Styles and English actor Florence Pugh, when she was given a brown envelope. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, a person approached from the seated section and slid the envelope marked “private and confidential” across the front of the stage to Wilde. After opening it onstage, Deadline said it contained custody documents relating to the two children the 38-year-old has with Ted Lasso star Sudeikis.

However, one source says that Sudekis had nothing to do with this. “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 source added.
Of course, many critics have weighed in on the matter as it’s not often that you see a big celebrity served custody papers in front of the whole world to see. Some comments have included, “Jason Sudekis HAD to have had a hand in this – there is no way this would have been allowed to happen without his direction and approval.
I think it is a really ugly thing that was done to her. This feels like a public shaming and humiliation done to a woman by an ex. It’s disturbing,” along with, “With my longstanding policy of never giving the man the benefit of the doubt, I win again. Anyway, Sudeikis made a bad move here, because he pissed off people who aren’t Olivia. CinemaCon is furious. This won’t go well for him.”
Another fan wrote, “I have no idea how these processes work in real life, and whether Sudeikis could provide relevant details and get credentials for the person doing the serving. I suppose he could though? Makes me wonder how messy this really is behind the scenes. If he did do this though, what an absolute tool. I am sure I also read that around the time Wilde got with Styles that Sudeikis was playing the field and pushed the whole cheating narrative to get sympathy for himself.”
