Olivia Wilde is ‘feeding off’ Harry Styles’ ‘fame to be relevant’: nanny

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis’ former nanny claimed the “Booksmart” director started dating Harry Styles to boost her image.

“She didn’t think Jason made her look that good I guess. Even now with Harry, I really believe she’s feeding off his fame to be relevant,” the woman, who chose to keep her identity hidden, alleged to the Daily Mail in a story published on Tuesday.

“She wasn’t really that great as an actress or director. Jason called her mediocre. It’s kind of like, OK, now she’s in the spotlight and Jason always said she wanted the spotlight.”

The nanny further alleged that “now [Wilde] gets the spotlight because of Harry’s fame,” adding that Sudeikis, 47, told her that the director “was very concerned what people would think” about her relationships.

In the bombshell interview, the nanny also claimed that the “Ted Lasso” star first discovered the 38-year-old’s relationship with Styles, 28, on an old Apple watch — while the pair were seemingly still together.

In fact, the nanny further claimed Wilde slept naked in the same bed with Sudeikis and skinny dipped in their California home’s pool “just a month before” she “saw Olivia holding hands as a couple with Harry in the news” in January 2021.

After finding out about his former fiancé’s budding romance, the actor allegedly threw himself under Wilde’s car to stop her from going to visit the “Golden” crooner.

The woman — who took care of the former couple’s son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6 for three years — said Sudeikis was blindsided and “was crying a lot” after the “Don’t Worry Darling” director broke things off in early November.

However, just hours after the tell-all interview dropped, Wilde and the “Horrible Bosses” star released a joint statement about the “false and scurrilous accusations.”

“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 actors 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.”
