The annual cinematic event is known for surprises and news that movie studios like to reveal, including glimpses into new films and information on intriguing productions – but what happened on stage yesterday (Wednesday) at a conference in Las Vegas was unusual and revolved around two stars’ personal lives – failureOlivia Wild
Known in front of an audience of 4,100 people whose ex-partner, the actor Jason Sodeikis (Star of the series “Ted Lasso”), demands custody of her two children.
The unexpected event that shocked the entertainment world occurred during a presentation that Wilde made for Don’t Worry Darling, the new film she is directing. While speaking on stage in front of an audience of thousands of journalists, employees and senior executives of the film industry, an unidentified person took the stage and handed her a large envelope that read “Personal and Secret.” Wilde asked him, “Is this for me? Is this a script?”, And took it from him. She opened it to the audience, read the document for a few seconds, and continued her speech.
Of course the unexpected interruption stole the show – while Wilde kept talking, it was clear that her new film was no longer of interest to anyone and most of the audience moved on to another topic: attempts to find out what exactly was in the secret envelope while some tweeted to their followers what was happening on stage. Then it turned out that although she managed to stay calm, the letter Wilde received was actually a bombshell for her – legal documents informing her that Soudiakis was demanding sponsorship for their son and daughter.

After revealing the sensitive information, Sodeikis’ associates were quick to make it clear that the star did not know the documents would be submitted to her in such a way and on this platform: “He did not know in advance when and how this would happen. .
The event provoked a big storm in several respects – the first is the problematic timing of submitting the documents to Wilde: by having the star receive them in public, the private and family issue that was supposed to be kept between her and Sudeikis became public and the most talked about entertainment sites in the last day.
Beyond that, a lot of criticism was directed at the event organizers for the poor security and for not keeping the participants safe, as the messenger was able to enter the hall, get on stage without a problem and access as far as the Wild without anyone stopping him. Mitch NouhauserOne of the organizers said: “In all the years that the cinematography has been held, we have never encountered a situation where a person approached the stage without a permit. In light of the events, we are re-examining our security procedures to ensure the safety of all participants.”

Wilde and Sodaikis became a couple in 2011 and became engaged about two years later. During their engagement they gave birth to two children, Otis (8) fDaisy (5), but never made the next required move, and remained engaged until they separated in 2020.
After the breakup, their associates said the two were determined to maintain a positive relationship for their children: “They are still friends and have managed to develop a great bond of shared parenting. The children are at the forefront of their minds and are at the heart of the relationship between them.”
However, rumors have it that there is quite a bit of precipitation between the two and attributed to this the relationship that Wilde broke up shortly afterwards with the singer Harry Styles,
Who stars in her new film. A source close to Sodaikis said the star did not happily receive the news of his ex-fiancée’s new relationship: “He is very hurt and even a little jealous that Olivia has moved on.”

What’s more – the gossip columns said that the romantic relationship between Wilde and Stiles may have started even before she and Sodaikis broke up, as filming began in September 2020 and Sodaikis said they only broke up about two months later. In an interview with GQ, he admitted that it was not clear to him what exactly happened that led to the breakup and said: “Maybe I will understand more in a year”
Wilde, for her part, denied the allegations and said last December in an interview with Vogue magazine: “It is very tempting to correct a false story, but when you are happy, it does not really matter what others think of you. What matters is what you love, who you love and who loves you back.” .
