Fans are now criticizing the 46-year-old Ted Lasso Sudeikis star, accusing the comedian of deliberately trying to embarrass his ex-fiancée with whom he shares two children – eight-year-old son Otis and five-year-old daughter Daisy – and saying his favorite Apple TV + character he would never approve of such “savage” behavior.
“So Ted Lasso is A ** Ho?” One man tweeted, and another said, “Damn, move Ted Lasso.”
“There’s no way Ted Lasso did that,” added a third, while another insisted, “Ted Lasso never would.”
Some social media users have accused the actor of wanting to ensure that his ex will be given the newspapers in the most public forum possible, suggesting that this is his way of seeking revenge after she went public with her romance with Stiles. 28, just months after her breakup with Sudeikis became public.
“I had an ex, received with documents before and there is no WAY Jason Sudeikis does not know where and when Olivia Wilde will be served … NOTHING! When and where is something that is discussed before the documents are delivered, “a Twitter user wrote.
However, sources close to the actor insist that he did not know that Wilde would receive the documents in such a public and humiliating way, as an insider told DailyMail.com that Sudeikis “had no prior information” when the documents will be handed over to her.
Jason Sudeikis has been heavily criticized online after his ex-wife Olivia Wilde was presented with custody documents while she was on stage in front of 4,100 industry executives discussing her new film, which sparked her romance with Harry Styles.
The 38-year-old actress was in the middle of presenting her film Don’t Worry, Dear Las Vegas, when she received legal documents from her ex-partner Sudeikis, 46, who he called “wild” and “evil” as a result.
A source close to Ted Lasso Sudeikis star (seen in 2021) says he has “no prior knowledge” of when his ex-fiancée will be served – but that hasn’t stopped Twitter users from speculating on his motives.
Wilde and Sudeikis were engaged before, but separated in late 2020. The two stars share two children together, eight-year-old son Otis and five-year-old daughter Daisy (pictured in February 2020)
Twitter erupted in debate over the incident, with many blasting Judges and calling for the move, with many insisting that his favorite character, Ted Lasso, disapproves of such a “wild” maneuver.
Most social media users believe the move has been calculated, but some applauded Sudeikis, suggesting he deserved revenge on Wilde after she went public with her romance with Stiles so soon after they broke up.
“Documents have been prepared to establish jurisdiction over the children of Ms. Wilde and Mr. Sudeikis,” the source said.
‘Mr. Sudeikis had no prior information about the time or place where the envelope would be delivered, as this would depend solely on the participating technology service company and he would never have approved it to be served on her in such an inappropriate manner. ”
It was initially reported that the documents were an unwanted script sent by a fan hoping to get Wilde’s attention – but that didn’t stop fierce speculation among those attending the annual event as to whether the envelope actually contained legal documents, rumors that were eventually confirmed by the deadline.
Wilde was in the middle of a presentation on her new film – which she is directing and starring her handsome Stiles, 28 – when she was briefly interrupted by an unidentified person who approached the scene from the front row of a Vegas audience and slipped the Manila envelope. through the front of the stage to her.
‘This is for me?’ Wilde asked before opening the envelope and reading the documents briefly. She then continued with her presentation.
Wilde and Sudeikis began dating in November 2011 and got engaged in December 2012, before eventually separating in November 2020. They share two children together – eight-year-old son Otis and five-year-old daughter Daisy.
Details of their current custody agreement remain confidential, and neither Olivia nor Jason have commented on the contents of the envelope.
However, their silence did not stop social media users from engaging in a fierce debate over who was right – with some arguing that Sudeikis “deserves” revenge on Wilde after she went public with her romance with Stiles. 28, so soon after the former couple separated.
“I have to tilt my hat on Jason Sudeikis,” one man wrote. “I would do the same … People just want some things to be public. I think everything should be fair play after you expose yourself there.
Another agreed, tweeting, “Jason Sudeikis to serve Olivia Wilde on stage while giving a presentation in Vegas is wild … to be honest, she deserves it.”

CinemaCon security breach
CinemaCon said it is now reassessing its security procedures in light of the incident: “Never in the history of Congress has there been an incident in which a delegate approached the stage that was not authorized to be present,” said Mitch Neuhauser, managing director. Director of CinemaCon said in a statement to Deadline.
“In light of this incident, we are re-evaluating our security procedures to ensure the safety of all those present.”
The annual gathering of cinema owners and Hollywood studios at the Coliseum in Las Vegas for CinemaCon requires attendees to purchase a badge.
Industry and media participants must apply for accreditation well before the April Convention and present a “photo identification number corresponding to the name in the required documentation” upon arrival at the event.
Reporter Chris Lee described in detail his reaction on stage in a tweet that read: “In the middle of her schpiel for ‘Don’t Worry, Honey,’ Olivia Wilde was handed an Manila envelope.” She seemed to have won a lawsuit!
He said the director of Booksmart said, “This is for me? Is this a script? Okay, I got it. Thank you.’
Lee added: “I thought it was part of the presentation or a joke. But then it was the end.
Another member of the audience, Jim Weyvoda, tweeted: “Were Olivia Wild handed documents on stage at CinemaCon?
“A woman came on stage and left her an envelope. Olivia opened it and then never turned to him and continued her presentation.
“We expected a little, but she never turned to the newspapers.”

“In light of this incident, we are reevaluating our security procedures to ensure the safety of all those present.” To enter the Vegas Coliseum for CinemaCon, non-industry participants must purchase a badge.
Deadline said the documents were delivered to Wilde by a trial server hired by Brooklyn-based Sudeikis lawyers to issue the legal documents.
The process of serving documents on someone must be carried out by a third party over the age of 18. This person can be an employee, friend or family member, or – as was the case with Wilde – a rented server, which is paid for the personal transmission of legal documents.
The rules for service of documents vary from state to state, but the law usually dictates that documents must be served directly on the defendant.
Wilde’s latest film Don’t Worry, Honey, is coming out of Warner Brothers next September and stars her much younger friend Stiles.
The duo formed a close relationship during the filming of the psychological thriller, in which they also star as Florence Pu and Gemma Chan, in 2020.
The news of Wilde and Sudeikis’ separation came on November 13, 2020, with sources claiming at the time that it was “friendly” and that their two children, son Otis and daughter Daisy Josephine, would remain a “priority.”
We remain silent: Details of their current custody agreement remain confidential, and neither Wilde nor Sudeikis have commented on the contents of the envelope.
Continued: She later hid the documents behind her back as she continued to talk to industry leaders about her new film.
