Olivia Wilde Recalls How the Custody Papers Incident Affected Her Children!
- Olivia Wilde remembered the moment she received the custody papers from her ex Jason Sudeikis.
- The actress also revealed that her children were affected deeply by the publicity stunt.
- Wilde shares two children, Otis, 8, and Daisy, 5, with Sudeikis.
Olivia Wilde won’t forget the moment she was slammed with the custody papers in public
Olivia Wilde is sharing her experience of being humiliated with the custody papers while introducing her latest movie Don’t Worry Darling in April.
After the incident, the whole attention went toward the custody papers rather than the movie.
The mum of two explained:
“It was my workplace,”
“In any other workplace, it would be seen as an attack. It shouldn’t have been able to happen. There was a huge breach in security, which is really scary.”
”The hurdles that you had to jump through to get into that room with several badges, plus special COVID tests that had to be taken days in advance, which gave you wristbands that were necessary to gain access to the event—this was something that required forethought.”
What made Olivia more upset was that the moment completely took away from the cast and crew, who worked hard to make the film possible.
The 38-year-old also revealed that it was not surprising to her and there are reasons why she could not stay in that relationship.
Olivia does not want her children to be a part of the controversy
Apart from being a public figure, Wilde is also a mother who wished that things were handled privately because of her children.
Talking about how the incident affected their children, the Booksmart actress said:
”The only people who suffered were my kids, because they’ll have to see that, and they shouldn’t ever have to know that happened,”
“For me, it was appalling, but the victims were an 8- and 5-year-old, and that’s really sad. I chose to become an actress; I willingly walked into the spotlight. But it’s not something my children have asked for. And when my kids are dragged into it, it’s deeply painful.”
Wilde and Sudeikis ended their relationship in 2020 after seven years of engagement. After separating, the former couple is finding ways of co-parenting.
Despite not being on good terms, they are doing their best to give their children a happy and secure future.
Wilde is dating singer Harry Styles since 2020. They first met on their upcoming film Don’t Worry Darling in September 2020.
