Olivia Wilde Says Jason Sudeikis Custody Paper Ambush Was "Aggressive"

Back in April, Olivia Wilde was just trying to live her glamorous life, which in this case meant presenting the trailer for Don’t Worry Darling at CinemaCon, when she was interrupted to get served custody papers — onstage. Now, she has legally filed to dismiss the petition, describing the delivery as “aggressive.”

"Jason's actions were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard,” she said in the court filing, per Daily Mail. “He could have served me discreetly, but instead he chose to serve me in the most aggressive manner possible.” Hello, the woman is trying to work.

When the incident occurred, Wilde used her improvisational skills to play it off. Being an actor, as it turns out, comes in handy when you’re warding off surprise public humiliation by your ex.

“This is for me? Very mysterious. I’m going to open it now,” she said before glancing at its contents and maintaining a level of composure nobody should ever be asked to maintain in Las Vegas. “Is this a script? OK, got it. Thank you.”

There is so much Wilde could say to speak to the deviousness of that humiliation, but she put it simply in the filing: "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,” the filing reads.

Wilde is also seeking custody of their five-year-old daughter Daisy and eight-year-old son Otis. Sudeikis and Wilde were never married but have been sharing custody of their kids since they split.

"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 filing reads.

Sudeikis maintains that the timing of the delivery was bad, saying that he meant to serve them at the hotel, but not during her presentation.
