Well, that was awkward.

Olivia Wilde was on stage at CinemaCon discussing her new movie when a woman approached, dropped an envelope, and let her know she was served. Deadline was the first to break the story that it was, in fact, papers for custody of two children she shares with Jason Sudeikis. The two were never married.

“This is for me?” Wilde simply said on stage before opening the envelope and seeing its contents.

She was exponentially more professional than I would have been in the same situation.

Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling comes out on Sept. 23 and is a 1950s-based thriller about a couple (Florence Pugh and Harry Styles) whose rising distrust of each other is fueled as Styles is employed by an enigmatic operation known as the Victory Project. The organization is is expected to change the world as we know it and the the women in town are told to stay indoors, but Alice has her suspicions as she begins to observe violent acts. 

Sudeikis’ representatives released a statement about the incident, saying that he did not know that the serving would happen as it did.

“Mr. Sudeikis had no prior knowledge of the time or place that the envelope would have been delivered as this would solely be up to the process service company involved and he would never condone her being served in such an inappropriate manner,” the statement reads.

Sudeikis is reportedly still in Amsterdam at the moment, filming the third season of the Apple TV Plus show, Ted Lasso.

Reps for CinemaCon also released a statement about the potentially dangerous security breach, stating:

“We have never in the history of the convention had an incident where a delegate has approached the stage who was not authorized to be there. In light of this incident, we are reevaluating our security procedures to ensure the safety of all our attendees,” Mitch Neuhauser Managing Director of CinemaCon said in a statement to Deadline.
