The ex-couple, Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde, released a joint statement claiming their former nanny’s accusations were false and scurrilous against them.
“As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous accusations about us publicly,” the former couple, who share son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6, said.
“Her now 18 month long campaign of harassing us, as well as loved ones, close friends and colleagues, has reached its unfortunate apex. We will continue to focus on raising and protecting our children with the sincere hope that she will now choose to leave our family alone,” concluded the statement.
The exes statement, comes just hours after an article was published by Daily Mail, where their nanny made a series of bombshell accusations. She claimed that Sudeikis discovered Wilde had Hooke dup with Harry Styles at Palm Springs after coming across emails between the two on Wilde’s old Apple watch.
The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, also claimed that Sudeikis was so upset about Wilde’s affair that he threw himself in front of her car to stop her from going to see Styles.
The nanny went on to say, Sudeikis fired her on February 1, 2021, while he was in a drunken rage.
“On the Monday morning of Nov. 9, when I came back from a weekend off, Jason was crying a lot, crying and crying. I didn’t know what had happened at all,” the woman said. “After I’d got the kids ready, Jason came upstairs and was having some coffee. He was crying and a mess, saying, ‘She left us. She left us!’”
The many, who’d been with the family for three years, alleged that Sudeikis quickly banned staff from listening to any of Styles’ music in his house.
“He seemed completely blindsided by Olivia’s infidelity and when she wanted to break things off,” she said of the couple that claimed their split was amicable.
Despite saying that Sudekis fired her, the nanny added, “I do have sympathy for Jason because I lived with him and saw him every day and we had a lot of good times. But the bad times were really bad. I feel for Jason because he really wanted to make things work, he tried. He left everything to go to therapy and to try harder to do better and it didn’t work out.”
