Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde released a joint statement to slam their children’s former nanny for making “false and scurrilous accusations” against them in an interview with the Daily Mail.
“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 — told Page Six on Monday.
“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 comes just hours after the Daily Mail published an article in which their nanny made a series of bombshell accusations — claiming that Sudeikis discovered Wilde had hooked up with Harry Styles at Palm Springs after finding emails between the pair on her old Apple watch.
The woman, who spoke anonymously to the Daily Mail, also alleged that the “Ted Lasso” star, 47, was so distraught after finding out about Wilde’s affair with Styles that he threw himself in front of her car to stop her from going to see the former boy-band heartthrob.
She also claimed that Sudeikis fired her on Feb. 1, 2021, when he was in a drunken rage.
She told the Daily Mail, “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.
“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 — who worked with them for more than three years — further alleged that Sudeikis swiftly banned staffers from listening to any of Styles’ music in his house after the revelation.
The nanny claimed that Sudeikis was completely blindsided when Wilde, 38, broke things off — despite the actress and director’s constant refrain that their separation was amicable.
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. He left everything to go to therapy and to try harder to do better and it didn’t work out.”
