Olivia Wilde Served With Legal Papers From Jason Sudeikis as She’s on Stage
“This is for me?” Wilde asked as a mystery person slid a yellow envelope to her on stage in front of more than 4,000 industry insiders.

The mystery envelope handed to Olivia Wilde as she was on stage presenting to more than 4,000 industry insiders on Tuesday night were custody papers from her ex Jason Sudeikis, Deadline reports. The seemingly vindictive move confused onlookers but didn’t manage to throw an unflappable Wilde off-script as she enjoyed her moment in the spotlight at Warner Bros’ CinemaCon. “This is for me?” Wilde asked as a person got up from the front rows and slid the envelope across the stage. She opened it but calmly went back to speaking about her film, Don’t Worry Darling. Wilde and Ted Lasso star Sudeikis have two children and split in 2020. A source familiar with the matter claimed Sudeikis had no idea the process service company would choose that moment to deliver papers drawn up to establish jurisdiction for their kids. “He would never condone her being served in such an inappropriate manner,” the source said. The episode is a major security blunder for CinemaCon, and organizers told Deadline they have no idea how the person got inside or who they were.
