Olivia Wilde-Jason Sudeikis Surveillance drama adds more toxicity to celebrities

Las Vegas may be an earthquake-prone city, but no one in the entire state of Nevada could have prepared for the magnitude 8 seismic event that rocked Caesar’s Palace last week when a processing server handed out the paper. Guardianship flyer Olivia Wilde from ex, Jason Sudeikis, while previewing her latest directorial endeavor Don’t worry, honey at CinemaCon.

Wilde took the envelope placed on stage by the unknown host, opened it to review the contents, and quickly continued her presentation without interruption. The manila envelope may have been marked “Personal and Confidential,” but it didn’t take long for news to emerge of its true contents, making the whole scene ironically brilliant but can not resist. Wilde was served papers by her ex, Sudeikis at a presentation for the film, where she met the man she had publicly dated a month after the breakup – an up-and-coming actor, barely known as Harry Styles.

News of the Vegas Strip hasn’t shaken the world so seriously since Nomi Malone pushed Cristal Connors down a flight of stairs in The girls performSo everyone on Twitter was quick to take sides.

Some sympathized with Wilde, calling the case’s objectivity a callous disregard for a woman at a pivotal moment in her career. Others were amused by the soapy nature of the whole thing. Many people, like me, have fallen somewhere in the middle, unable to help themselves from indulging in the deliciousness of a chaotic celebrity moment that is all too rare these days while still acknowledging that a A legal case involving custody of two children has gone from at least a private matter to a public laughing stock.

The online discourse — three of the most puzzling words in culture in 2022 — revolves around a scandalous moment in the days since it happened that has become more devastating and increasingly acute. Fans aren’t just taking sides in a situation they know nothing about, they’re bullying, mocking, and making cruel assumptions about the other. Personal trauma is being used for memes and opportunities to go viral.

Much like the online reaction to the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial, it is revealing an ugliness and evil — and possibly, now inevitable — allusion to celebrity culture and how we interact with it: A new way fandom can be malicious.

On the one hand, it’s hard to feel too bad for Wilde. And it’s not just because she’s a millionaire who has gone from one very hot boyfriend to another extremely hot one.

Sure, she may have been served with guardianship papers during the height of her career, but CinemaCon wouldn’t be the process server’s first choice of location for this kind of legal transaction. With contact details provided by the filing client (Sudeikis), a processing server is more likely to attempt to contact Wilde to provide paperwork prior to the legendary CinemaCon crash. Wilde has had to make herself unavailable or dodge this for a while, which certainly makes sense after she was spotted following Styles on his world tour in late 2021. and in his Coachella title gig just two weeks. formerly.

Serving someone at a concert isn’t impossible — just ask Ciara, who was served paperwork on stage while performing at a Pride event in LA in 2013 — but it can be difficult. The level of security at the Harry Styles show is average. That man has four nipples, three Grammy Award nominations, and an upcoming album. No one comes near his inner circle who is not allowed there! So if the server can’t reach Wilde anywhere else, why not go where they know she’ll be: a conference for the people in the movie industry? Accessibility may be one thing, but apparently, price doesn’t matter.

A source close to Sudeikis told several outlets last week that “Mr. Sudeikis has no prior knowledge of when or where the envelope will be delivered, as it depends solely on the handling service company involved and he will never tolerate her being serviced. in such an inappropriate way. But the CinemaCon badge is $1190 for a non-industry attendee, which is a pretty big change for a show as complex as this.

Even if Sudeikis may not accept the way it happened, he will certainly be the one to make the bill in some way. And he didn’t even get to enjoy the exclusive first look at the trailer for Don’t worry, honey! Who wouldn’t think of Jason Sudeikis in all of this?

Not surprisingly, Ted Lasso Twitter obsessives have covered that part already. They worked hard in mentioning and quoting tweets from users who joked about Sudeikis pettiness. “I have a feeling [the original poster] will not have the same energy [if this happened to Jason]” a user with one Ted Lasso avatar talks about an innocuous situation. Another person tweeted a photo of Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham gave a disgusted look, captioning it, “Me whenever OW and HS are mentioned,” referring to Wilde and Styles. One Ted Lasso simple avatar Quote tweeted news of Wilde being served with one word: “Delicious.”

First of all, I will fight for not at all man is a mistake, but beating a man simply because he plays some unlucky football coach (sorry, soccer) who carries the values ​​of kindness and his inherent fairness comes to the notoriously stuffy UK although no idea where the beans on toast come from Sunday roast is just ridiculous. Ted Lasso is a character! He can’t cheer you up, he can’t let you make small talk in the dressing room, and he certainly won’t let his ex serve in public.

The views and decisions of this imaginary person do not reflect the views and decisions of the actual person playing him. Ted Lasso exists behind the screen, and an Apple TV + $4.99 subscription should only be used to watch Quit and Physicsdo not rely on your entire online presence around.

While one side was trying to protect Ted Lasso’s honor, the other side jumped in front of Olivia Wilde thanks to the authorization of their favorite singer. “IN THIS FAMILY WE ALWAYS HIGH AND RESPECT OLIVIA WILDE,” One Harry Styles fan said. “I get more respect for her every day. I hope she knows she has people who support and care for her in this fandom and outside of it. “I’m sure Olivia Wilde now feels great comfort knowing that her boyfriend’s tweenage fans helped her back through this.

Maybe true Styles fans like Olivia Wilde, maybe they’re just trying to discourage and distract from any speculation that the lyrics of “Leaving America, Two Kids Following Her” from the single Styles’ most recent, “As It Was,” has nothing to do with Wilde’s current relationship with the two kids she shares with Sudeikis.

The saturation of social media in our daily lives has opened a portal that makes every little detail about every little thing super visible, allowing us to manifest satisfying fantasies. his morbid curious label. The itch can only be scratched when watching court TV, hour-long web dramas, or Nicole Kidman basking in a brown turtleneck while looking plump. Big Little Liesis now something served to us on a plate that fits in the palm of our hand and bakes our brains with blue light every morning.

So it’s not surprising that two celebrities who normally dislike tabloid gossip – and barely have any online presence – are suddenly caught up in a messy case. , extremely dramatic and extremely serious about public custody, we can’t help but put our little hands on Twitter to see all the ugly details poured out in time real. If only season two of Ted Lasso been anywhere close to being attractive, I’ll probably also find myself throwing silly things at strangers over a 6-foot-tall mustache in a tracksuit.

And so, what’s left? Where are we? Suddenly, all of the internet’s most hated people are locked in a death match to try to protect the integrity of celebrities they don’t even know. None of us know the intimate details of these people’s lives and histories, but some are intent on pretending that their relationship with the parties at its center isn’t quite the same. non-racial character.

Even if you’re not dragging one side or the other and you’re just enjoying the show, there’s a woman at the center of it all, holding a manila envelope marked “Personal & Confidential” , who has just been placed in an irrevocable public custody proceeding over her ex in relation to their two children. As fun as it is to be able to enjoy all of the movie as a spectator, there won’t be any winners here when the dust settles.
