What employees reveal about their celebrity bosses

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis's former nanny gave a bombshell interview to the Daily Mail, detailing allegations of the couple's toxic end, and claiming that Wilde had left Sudeikis for Harry Styles. The nanny claimed that they'd have explosive fights and that once Sudeikis "went outside and lay under [Wilde's] car so she wouldn't leave" to go see Styles. She claimed Sudeikis was upset after seeing Wilde prepare a salad, allegedly for Styles, with her "special dressing."

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis - While Wilde has stated that her relationship with Sudeikis "was over long before I met Harry," as per Vanity Fair in October 2022, the nanny claimed that Sudeikis discovered details of his wife's relationship with Styles on an Apple Watch she'd left behind while filming 'Don't Worry Darling.' But the former couple couldn't let these rumors slide, especially not with their kids in the mix.

"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," they said in a joint statement. They accused the nanny of an "18-month-long campaign of harassing us, as well as loved ones, close friends and colleagues" and said they're simply going to "continue to focus on raising and protecting our children with the sincere hope that she will now choose to leave our family alone."
