Actress Olivia Wilde was stunned when a manilla envelope given to her while onstage at an movie industry trade show Tuesday turned out to contain custody papers from her ex, actor Jason Sudeikis.
Wilde was promoting her upcoming movie, “Don’t Worry Darling,” at CinemaCon in Las Vegas when a woman slid the envelope onto the stage.
“This is for me,” the Grey’s Anatomy actress asked as it was handed to her.
She opened it to find custody papers concerning her two children with Sudeikis, who she split with after seven years together. The Saturday Night Live actor’s lawyers had hired the woman as a process server to deliver the papers to Wilde in person.
Wilde managed to carry on without reacting, showing the trailer of the film she directed starring her new boyfriend Harry Styles and Florence Pugh to huge applause to the audience of around 4,000.
Page Six reports that Sudeikis had no knowledge of the brazen, public plan.
“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,” said the source.
Wilde, 38, and Sudekis, 46, broke of their engagement in Nov. 2020. The actress was spotted a couple months after her breakup with musician Styles, who is ten years her junior, sparking a media frenzy.
Sudekis told GQ in August that he “reached rock bottom” after the breakup and hoped it he would more sense as time passed.
The pair are currently working out custody over their two children – son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 5.
The incident sparked fears about security at CinemaCon, according to Deadline. The server would have had to purchase a badge.
