Just months after she was publicly served with legal papers in front of the world, Olivia Wilde has won her custody battle against her ex Jason Sudeikis.
The Hollywood star and director was victorious in a California court after the judge ruled that their two children — eight-year-old Otis and five-year-old Daisy — would continue to call the Golden State home, not New York as the Ted Lasso star had hoped.
The judgment came after the 38-year-old actress claimed that Sudeikis, 46, had arranged for the custody documents to be served in April “in the most aggressive way possible”, as she was speaking on a CinemaCon panel about her new movie.
In a filing, Wilde claimed that Sudeikis — who she was in a relationship with from 2011 until 2020 — intended to “embarrass” and “threaten” her by getting the papers delivered in such a public setting.
“Jason’s actions were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard. He could have served me discreetly, but instead, he chose to serve me in the most aggressive manner possible,” she said in court documents.
“The fact that Jason would embarrass me professionally and put our personal conflict on public display in this manner is extremely contrary to our children’s best interests. Since Jason has made it clear that we will not be able to work this out for our children’s sake outside of the court system, I filed a petition for custody in Los Angeles.”
The development comes as rumors swirl that she had a falling out with her Don’t Worry Darling Costar Florence Pugh over her relationship with Harry Styles which reportedly happened whilst she was still involved with Sudeikis.
