Olivia Wilde is claiming her ex Jason Sudeikis hoped to embarrass her by having custody papers served to her while she was onstage earlier this year, court documents revealed.

The Dont Worry Darling director says Sudeikis hoped to threaten her through the serving, according to a newly filed motion to dismiss the custody petitions, detailed by the Daily Mail .

The former partners share two children and broke up in November 2020.

Wilde was speaking about Dont Worry Darling , a film that stars her current partner, Harry Styles , when someone handed her legal documents while onstage at CinemaCon in April .

Sudeikis custody petitions reportedly sought to allow the children to be with him in New York after he wrapped up filming Ted Lasso this year.

A judge has since dismissed the petitions and determined the childrens home state is California.

Jasons actions were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard, Wilde said in the court motion described by the Daily Mail.

He could have served me discreetly, but instead he chose to serve me in the most aggressive manner possible. The fact that Jason would embarrass me professionally and put our personal conflict on public display in this manner is extremely contrary to our childrens best interests.

Sudeikis claimed to be reluctant about serving his ex but later asked his attorney to serve her as she prepared to fly to Los Angeles, court documents reportedly show.

He said he hoped to have her served at Londons Heathrow Airport and not at her home because that might have occurred in front of their children, the Daily Mail reported.

Sudeikis reportedly claimed the process server had a series of logistical mishaps that didnt allow Wilde to get the custody papers.

He said the process server eventually found out about her potential cameo at CinemaCon and found her at an event panel.
