Olivia Wilde’s wrap incident triggers reassessment of CinemaCon safety procedures – NBC Connecticut
CinemaCon organizers are now questioning their security tactics.
After a woman served Olivia Wilde’s custody papers in a manila envelope from her ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis during CinemaCon on April 27, convention organizers are now investigating how the unidentified woman got into the event and close enough to deliver the documents to the “Don’t Worry Darling” director.
Mitch Neuhauser, General Manager of CinemaCon LLC, told People in a statement, “As the organizer of the convention, we have never had an incident in the history of the convention where a delegate approached the scene when he was not authorized to be there of this incident, we are reassessing our security procedures to ensure the safety of all of our attendees.”
Neuhauser was unable to tell the publication whether the stranger was subsequently arrested or had proper access to CinemaCon.
On April 27, Wilde — who shares son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 5, with Sudeikis — took the stage at CinemaCon to talk about her upcoming thriller, “Don’t Worry Darling,” which stars Florence Pugh and Wilde’s boyfriend. , singer Harry Styles.
During her presentation, an unidentified woman appeared on stage and handed the mother-of-two a kraft paper envelope marked “personal and confidential”.
A surprised Wilde asked, “Is this for me?” After claiming the moment felt “very mysterious,” the “House” alum said she’s “gonna open it now because it’s like it’s a script.”
However, there was no script. Instead, the envelope contained the “Ted Lasso” actor’s custody papers. Wilde looked at the front page of the documents and continued his presentation without discussing the incident further.
A source told E! News that Sudeikis had “no prior knowledge” of how or when custody papers would be given to his ex, adding, “He would never tolerate her being served in such an inappropriate manner.”
In November 2020, E! News has confirmed that Wilde and Sudeikis have called off their seven-year engagement after almost a decade together.
The following summer, a separate source told E! News that the former couple’s co-parenting relationship was “a work in progress” and “they’re figuring it out as they go.”
