It is always difficult to manage a divorce impeccably, all the more so when children are present in the picture. However, Jason Sudeikis managed to perform a masterstroke in terms of lack of tact … by sending Olivia Wilde the documents concerning the custody of their daughter and their son – Otis, 8 years old and Daisy, 5 years old – when she publicly presented her film Don’t Worry Darling, in front of a large crowd, at Cinema-Con on April 27.

When I refused, since they had not lived there for several years, he filled out these documents. His sending them to me during Cinema-Con was clearly a way to threaten and surprise me when my guard was down. He could have done it quietly, but instead he chose to do it as aggressively as possible. The fact that he tries to get in the way of me professionally and that he makes our problems public and extremely contrary to the interests of our children…“
