Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis Respond To Ex-Nanny's 'False' Allegations Against Them

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis have fired back at their children's former nanny after the woman divulged alleged private details about the time leading up to and around the two stars' split.

On Monday, Sudeikis and Wilde, who are in a messy custody battle over son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6, released a joint statement slamming the accusations their former nanny made in a new interview with the Daily Mail as "false and scurrilous."

"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 exes, who were together from 2011 until 2020, said in a statement to Page Six.

They continued, "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."

Their statement was released just hours after their ex-nanny's bombshell interview was published by the Daily Mail.

The nanny, who asked to remain anonymous and said she had worked for Sudeikis and Wilde for three years, alleged that the former "Saturday Night Live" alum discovered Wilde's romance with Harry Styles after finding emails between the pair on her old Apple watch.

The unnamed woman claimed that Wilde started to spend more and more time away from home at the start of November 2020, citing work, shortly after she met the former One Direction singer. The nanny alleged that Wilde appeared visibly "giddy and giggly" when she took Wilde's daughter Daisy to the set of "Don't Worry Darling."

The nanny went on to claim that the Wilde eventually moved into a nearby $1,650-a-night Paramour Estate Hotel in Los Angeles. Sudeikis allegedly thought it was due to the COVID-19 outbreak and was only temporary, but the actress dumped him on Nov. 8, 2020, according to the nanny.

"On Monday morning November 9, when I came back from a weekend off, he was crying a lot, crying and crying. I didn't know what had happened at all," the nanny told the Daily Mail of Sudeikis. "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 nanny claimed that the "Ted Lasso" actor was "so brokenhearted" and was "out of control crying" while telling her "he was going to get her back and he loved her."

The unnamed woman also alleged that Sudeikis once threw himself under Wilde's car to stop her from leaving and going to Styles. The comedian allegedly did it on purpose to "make her [Wilde] late going to see Harry," the nanny claimed.

According to the woman, Wilde leaving Sudeikis allegedly triggered a spiral of erratic behavior in the latter, and his drinking habit worsened.

The nanny, who shared alleged screenshots of her text exchanges with Wilde and Sudeikis, decided to leave her job at the end of January 2021 because she allegedly felt overwhelmed and "manipulated" by the increasingly toxic relationship between her employers.

But on Feb. 1, 2021, the day after the nanny resigned and agreed to work for the couple for another six months while they searched for her replacement, Sudeikis lost his temper when he realized she had texted Wilde and fired her on the spot. He also threw her out of the London home he was renting.

A representative for Wilde claimed to the Daily Mail that the nanny was not fired but chose to resign.

The nanny claimed she did not get severance pay and has been unable to claim unemployment because Sudeikis and Wilde have claimed she wasn't fired but resigned.

"The most difficult part is I have been a nanny for 20 years and it's my career. I adore children. I was so happy in what I do," the nanny told Daily Mail. "This just tore me apart and I was afraid to work with any other families, thinking they're just going to hurt me. I started thinking all the other families were the same."

She added, "It blew me away. It's kind of like your career is over and you have to start all over again from scratch. I didn't know where to begin and I was brokenhearted. I had no clue, no direction."

Despite saying that Sudeikis 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," she continued. "He left everything to go to therapy and to try harder to do better and it didn't work out."
