Facing legal action. Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis‘ former nanny Ericka Genaro is suing the duo for discrimination, alleging they terminated her employment because of her mental health.Genaro, who began working for the couple in 2018, filed a lawsuit against the Booksmart director, 38, and the Saturday Night Live alum, 47, in Los Angeles on Tuesday, February 14.
In court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Genaro’s lawyers alleged that the childcare pro “became increasingly anxious and stressed” after Wilde and Sudeikis ended their romantic relationship.
The former couple are the parents of son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6.In the complaint, Genaro alleged that Wilde “abruptly left the home where she lived” with Sudeikis and the children in November 2020. “Wilde’s sudden absence from the home had an adverse consequence on its emotional state, including Sudeikis leaning on the presence of [Genaro] for support,” the docs continued.According to Genaro, the Horrible Bosses actor asked her to “stay up at night after the kids were put to bed to talk” about his split from the House alum.
Genaro claimed that she “felt compelled to engage” in these conversations even though they created “extreme anxiety to her as she ostensibly felt she had to ‘pick sides’ between the parents of the children she was ostensibly the primary caretaker.”In order to view the video, please allow Manage CookiesWilde and Sudeikis, who got engaged in 2013, called it quits in November 2020 after nine years together.
