Olivia Wilde was given court documents pertaining to her children with Jason Sudeikis while on stage at her CinemaCon presentation on Tuesday, according to a family law attorney.
It was a huge spectacle when Olivia Wilde was served court documents while on stage discussing her new film at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Wilde, 38, was interrupted while speaking about her new movie, Don’t Worry, Darling, when a woman rushed the platform and pushed a manila package towards her.
It was later revealed that the contents of the mail were legal documents connected to her children with ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis. Wilde and Sudeikis, 46, have a son, Otis, 8, and a daughter, Daisy Josephine, 5, but they were never married.
He is well known for his role as Ted Lasso in the Apple TV+ series.
According to the reports, the manila package presented on stage at Caesars Palace’s The Colosseum on Wednesday included custody documents from the 46-year-old Emmy winner.
And according to Variety, Sudeikis was unaware that Wilde would be served the papers in such a public and humiliating manner. The actress is dating 28-year-old pop artist Styles, whom she met while directing her forthcoming thriller, in which he co-stars with Florence Pugh.
“Papers were put out to establish jurisdiction relating to Ms. Wilde and Mr. Sudeikis’s children,” a source told the publication.
Mr. Sudeikis had no idea when or where the envelope would be delivered because that was all up to the process service company, and he would never condone her being served in such an inappropriate manner.
The documents were initially claimed to be an unsolicited script given by a fan in the hopes of catching Wilde’s attention.
According to his spokesperson, 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 firm involved and he would never condone her being served in such an inappropriate manner.”
Wilde was interrupted in the middle of her speech when an unidentified person approached from the front seats and slid the envelope across the platform toward her.
“Is this for me?” says the narrator. Wilde enquired.
She took the envelope off the shelf and opened it. She then continued to speak to the mostly-exhibitor crowd about her idea.
According to the reports, non-industry participants must acquire a badge in order to enter the Colosseum for CinemaCon.
When spoke with individuals in charge of operating the concert at the Colosseum, they said they had no idea how the process-server got in or who they were.
While CinemaCon organisers have declined to comment on the incident, they have assured other media sources that they will “reevaluate our security standards.”
