JASON A ‘SUE’-ER RAT: EX
Litigating Olivia ‘into debt’
Olivia Wilde’s net worth was revealed to be a whopping $10 million as she claims Jason Sudeikis is trying to “litigate her into debt” in their ongoing custody battle over their two children.
“While Jason can afford to spin his wheels with filing after filing, Olivia cannot,” Wilde’s attorneys wrote in advance of a hearing scheduled in Los Angeles Friday, according to the Daily Mail.
“Jason seems intent on throwing whatever he can against the wall to see what will stick, and this Request for Order seeking a stay of the California Parentage action is just the latest example.”
Wilde’s net worth was included in a Thursday court filing obtained by the outlet that also revealed she spends $107,000 a month, including nearly $4,000 on laundry and cleaning, a mortgage of more than $58,000 and $6,500 on basic utilities.
Friday’s hearing ultimately went in Wilde’s favor, TMZ reported, with a judge ruling that the former couple’s legal war over Otis, 8, and Daisy, 6, should remain in California instead of New York.
The “Don’t Worry Darling” director further accused the “Ted Lasso” star of being “underhanded” and acting “in bad faith” over their kids’ futures by using “intimidation or trickery” to win, the outlet reported.
Wilde, 39, fought for the kids to remain in Los Angeles, while Sudeikis, 47, was intent on having them back in Brooklyn.
Wilde claimed there was no reason for the children to live on the East Coast, as Daisy never went to school there and Otis attended only one semester of kindergarten in New York. “Jason should not be permitted to litigate Olivia into debt and then claim she should be deprived of her right to seek a needs-based fee contribution from him,” her attorneys wrote, adding that Wilde is “aware that he is far wealthier than she is.”
The “House” alum claimed in the filing that she believed she and the “Horrible Bosses” star were moving toward an amicable resolution until he allegedly blindsided her.
‘Behind my back’
“We were scheduled to start working with a family therapist in California in mid-January. I thought things were calming down and were going to move forward in a more amicable, respectful fashion,” Wilde claimed.
“Instead I learned . . . that the entire time I was negotiating the parenting-time schedule in California [Jason] was plotting to proceed with the New York Child Support proceeding behind my back.”
Reps for Sudeikis didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Wilde and Sudeikis, who got engaged in January 2013 but never married, separated in November 2020.
