The annual Las Vegas film fair, CinemaCon, always promises surprises, but one was very personal for the actress and director Olivia Wilde Tuesday night: She was served custody papers on stage.
Wilde, who has two children with her ex, Ted Lasso Emmy winner Jason Sudeikis: 8 year old son Otisand a 5 year old daughter daisy.
Wilde was on stage to talk about Don’t Worry Darling, her new thriller with her boyfriend Harry Styleswhen she was handed a Manila envelope by an unknown person before continuing her presentation.
A source confirmed the incident to ABC News, noting: “Papers were drawn up to establish jurisdiction over Ms. Wilde and Mr. Sudeikis’ children.”
However, the former SNL star apparently wasn’t thrilled with how things were going.
“Mr. Sudeikis had no prior knowledge of the time or place the envelope would have been delivered as that would be solely up to the process service company involved,” the source said, adding “he would never condone her on is served in such an inappropriate manner.
In fact, it’s unknown how the process server even got into the event, let alone got close enough to Wilde to hand her the footage at that high-profile moment. The Hollywood Reporter says organizers of the event, which concludes today, are rethinking their safety.
