Video Emerges Of Olivia Wilde's Reaction To Being Served Legal Papers—And People Are Impressed

Video has emerged of the now infamous moment when actor and director Olivia Wilde was served custody papers while onstage at an entertainment industry conference. People are impressed with how she handled things.

The incident occurred at CinemaCon, the industry's annual meeting for movie-theater owners and executives. While Wilde was presenting her forthcoming film Don't Worry Baby, she was handed an envelope that turned out to be the papers.


By all accounts, Wilde bravely soldiered on with her presentation, but the video clip reveals just how much of a consummate professional Wilde is. Not only does she soldier on, but she barely flinches. See the clip below.

The clip also shows just how out-of-nowhere the serving of the papers wa

As Wilde presented her new film, the follow-up to her 2019 directorial debut Booksmart, she was interrupted by someone who turned out to be a process server delivering custody papers from ex-partner Jason Sudeikis, with whom Wilde has two children.

After remarking on how "mysterious" the move was and presuming it to contain an unsolicited screenplay submission, Wilde opened the envelope, glanced at its contents and said simply, "Oh, okay, got it. Thank you."

She then looked back out into the crowd, smiled, and continued on with her speech about what was among the most hotly anticipated films to be presented at the annual conference.

Wilde's cool, calm and collected response is particularly notable given how "mortifying" she is said to have found the incident, as a source close to Wilde told Page Six.

"It seemed unthinkable to her, and it took a moment to set in, but as mortifying as it was, she did not want to give a reaction."

On Twitter, many applauded Wilde for her cool, calm and collected response.



But some others felt the clip only underlined what they see as a devious move on Sudeikis' part.




For his part, Sudeikis claims to have been blind-sided by the event as well, and his team insists he had no prior knowledge that the papers would be delivered in such a manner.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
