Olivia Wilde recently opened up about the "traumatic" experience of being served custody papers during a presentation at CinemaCon in 2022.

The incident, which occurred early in the promotional cycle for her film *Don't Worry Darling*, garnered significant public attention.

During an appearance on the podcast *Call Her Daddy*, Wilde detailed the emotional impact of the event.

She described it as "one of the most f***ed up things I went through," noting that despite the shock, she felt compelled to finish her speech.

"I get through it because, weirdly, as women, we’re taught to muscle through the most insane experiences," she explained, adding that she "completely dissolved into a puddle" backstage.

Initially, Wilde believed the incident would remain private due to a no-phone policy at the event.

However, she soon realized it had quickly become public, with reports appearing on "Page Six" and a video circulating online.

This development matters to the audience because it highlights the intense public scrutiny and personal challenges faced by figures in the entertainment industry.

## Tom Cruise's Reaction

Among those who took notice was actor Tom Cruise.

Wilde recounted meeting Cruise a couple of months after the incident, where he immediately addressed the situation.

"Hi, I’m Tom.

F***ed up what happened to you in Vegas," he reportedly told her.

Wilde noted the significance of Cruise's reaction, given his reputation for engaging in high-risk stunts, suggesting that if he found the situation "messed up," it was indeed severe.

Wilde stated she can now laugh about the interaction with Cruise.

## Addressing Jason Sudeikis's Involvement

Wilde also addressed the persistent rumor that her former partner, Jason Sudeikis, intentionally arranged for the papers to be served while she was onstage.

She stated that Sudeikis denied prior knowledge of the timing.

"Jason has told me that he did not know, and I need to believe that in order to continue," Wilde said.

She speculated that lawyers might be responsible for such actions, acknowledging that individuals are often not at their best during legal processes.

Wilde expressed her belief that seeing the event unfold also hurt Sudeikis.

Reflecting on the ordeal, Wilde shared that she has undergone "a lot of therapy" and feels that surviving such an experience has made her feel capable of overcoming anything.
