She really is a professional.
CinemaCon is known for being full of surprises, but this year it had one of the next level. When Olivia Wilde was in the middle of presenting a trailer for her new film, Don’t worry honeyshe was interrupted by a trial server who handed her legal documents from her ex-Jason Sudeikis.

While discussing her upcoming film starring Florence Pew and Olivia’s current partner, Harry Styles, the trial server approached Olivia and pushed a large Manila envelope toward her on stage. The envelope was marked “Personal and Confidential.”

“It’s for me, isn’t it?” Olivia said after receiving it. “Very mysterious.” I will open it now.

Is this a script? She asked before looking briefly at the documents inside and closing the envelope. “Okay, I get it. Thanks.”

Apparently the documents in the envelope are for the custody agreement between Olivia and Jason. The former couple shared two children – 8-year-old Otis and 5-year-old Daisy – and ended their relationship in late 2020, after being engaged for almost a decade.

However, according to Jason’s representative, he had no idea that the documents would be handed to Olivia in the middle of her presentation at CinemaCon. “Mr Sudeikis had no prior information about the time or place where the envelope would be delivered, as this would depend solely on the technology company concerned and he would never have approved it to be served on it in such an inappropriate way,” he said. its representative Diversity.

The fact that Olivia managed to continue smoothly with an important presentation after receiving custody documents – on stage in front of 4,000 people – is quite incredible.

After receiving the documents, she simply went on to present her thriller with an envelope in her hand – and did not confirm it again.

Knowing that this happened at CinemaCon – where participants from outside the film and television industry have to buy entry badges and everyone has to be checked before their registration is approved – is also pretty wild. In the future, the convention will make some changes to ensure that this does not happen again.

“We have never in the history of Congress had an incident in which a delegate approached the stage without being authorized to be present,” the managing director of CinemaCon told E! News in a statement. “In light of this incident, we are re-evaluating our security procedures to ensure the safety of all those present.
Neither Olivia nor Jason have commented publicly on the situation. But here we hope that they will be able to fix things.
