Styles acted in the film she directed that year “Don’t Worry, Honey”.

She recounts that she began to suffer from anxiety and depression after Wilde left home and the star of “Ted Lasso ” began to “lean” on the employee for emotional support.
It was after the dismissal that she made public several details of the couple’s intimate life, including the alleged beginning of the actress’ romance with the musician.

In addition, the nanny also claimed that, with the separation and Sudeikis’ emotional state, her role as a caregiver for the children “increased exponentially”, as she was supposed to take over the functions normally performed by the director, since she no longer lived in the house. House.
The former employee also claimed that the actor demanded that she stay up late to talk about the end of the relationship with Wilde.
Result of the process

This means that the case must be settled by an out-of-court settlement between the legal representatives of the two parties, ruling out the nanny’s request for a trial by jury.
“We don’t agree with the decision, but it is what it is, and we are now litigating in arbitration, and the case continues,” Ron Zambrano, partner and president of employment litigation at West Coast Employment Lawyers, representing the employee, said in a statement provided to “Fox News Digital”.
Representatives for Wilde and Sudeikis celebrated the outcome and provided the following joint statement to the outlet, saying: “The lawsuit was completely dismissed. Olivia and Jason are hopeful that they can finally close this chapter after what was not just a selfish attempt at financial gain, but a blatant exploitation of their trust in the media.”
